I would love to find a lush, magical YA contemporary fantasy with a unique female MC. It's going to be on my permanent #MSWL, I suspect.

I really don't have enough magic or magical realism on my list right now. MG or YA. But I don't want witchy-magic. #MSWL

Magical realism is great, but I prefer mine to be much more realistic than magical. #MSWL

Hey, it's #MSWL day! Send me dark speculative fiction/literary prose with surreal or magical elements/a twisted society, rooted in reality.

YA/MG fantasy where the magic is essential to the story. Can be beautiful, arcane, messy, inconvenient, whatever, but feels integral. #MSWL

YA with the kind of lush worldbuilding found in THE RAVEN BOYS or SCORPIO RACES. Contemporary Fantasy or Magical Realism! #MSWL
