#MSWL MG Diverse and LGBTQIA+ voices. Middle grade is really some of the toughest years of my life, and anything that can help them realize it's okay to be different, is helpful. Love ghost stories and stories of crushes and friendship at this age.

If pumpkin spice lattes are back, autumn must be right around the corner, which means I'm jumping on the spooky reads bandwagon. Send me your upmarket, creepy stories: witches, ghosts, other things that go bump in the night. How about a gothic romance, you say? Yes! #mswl

Supernatural romance where a modern woman falls in love with the ghost of an old timey nobleman but then she becomes aware of all the anachronisms in his stories of his life (potatoes pre-contact and the like) and eventually he admits he's just a guy who died at a costume party.

“Therapist for ghosts” is such a great character idea and I’m still kinda mad the best example of it in a work of fiction to date is that awful Casper the Friendly Ghost movie.#mswl - ghost therapists, not casper retellings (i mean, maybe casper inspired tellings)

#MSWL MG with female MC who goes to space camp and kicks all the boys butts because she wants to be an astronaut and her idol is Sally Ride. So she learns to read the stars, understand horoscopes, and uses it all to navigate friendships.#MSWL A hilarious haunting! A ghost with a sense of humor, waking people up, making weird sculptures with random objects around the house, telling the living people that they should GET IT, etc. 😂 Make me die laughing.
