Also on my #MSWL: other stories about POC who are religious, whether that means Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and so forth.

#MSWL YA stories about young WoC but no love triangles! Novels about 'old' and 'middle age' women that have nothing to do with marriage!

I've said many times that I want diverse books in my #MSWL, but I want to adjust that slightly—what I *really* want is to find #ownvoices.
