MG and YA with rich cultural backgrounds that are integral to the depth of the story but aren't the problem/issue. #mswl

Extra awesome if your story is on my #MSWL and also: diverse, LGBTQ, gender swapped, or set in a non-European culture. #MG #YA #A

STEM, especially women in STEM fields. #MSWL #MG #YA #A

Give me #MG starring misfits. Show me MCs who do their own thing and don't apologize for who they are. #mswl

Speaking of food...I am (extremely) obsessed. So #MG or #YA about cooking, or where the MC is a chef, would make me a very happy girl. #mswl

Vivid, dreamy #MR (especially if it involves food!) #MSWL #MG #YA #A

#MG funny fairy tales! #MSWL #F

I LOVE unconventional storytelling. Found footage, handbooks/guidebooks/textbooks, emails, tweets, etc. #MSWL #MG #YA #A

& all of my perpetual #mswl items still stand: interesting female friendships, diverse chars, #ownvoices, girls who code, etc #WF #R #YA #MG

In #MG, I want mysteries about things that go bump in the night...The creepier, the better! #mswl #M

Still on the hunt for the perfect heartfelt magical realist MG. (Here's a good def of magical realism: michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i…) #mswl #MG

Continuing my obsession with The Mummy, would love #MG, #YA, or #A set on an archaeological dig (especially #HF)! #mswl

I'm always on the hunt for multicultural MG/YA projects where the culture is a natural part of the story but not the "issue." #mswl

Love YA and MG protags dealing with unique medical, emotional and psych issues. #MSWL #YA #MG

#MSWL Basically, I want #YA/#MG that doesn't assume that only kids from middle class homes can be happy and healthy. SUBVERT THE TROPES.

As always, I'm dying for lush magical realism—#MG & #YA. If you're not familiar w/the (very specific) subgenre michellewittebooks.com/2015/07/what-i… #MSWL

Even in #MG, kids can have parents at home and still go on adventures. GOONIES is epic adventure & the kids all had loving families. #MSWL

Am reading @LaurenDeStefano's CURIOUS TALE OF THE IN-BETWEEN. It's everything I want in #MG and more—luscious prose, creepy atmosphere #MSWL

Related: I would kill for a #MG book or graphic novel w/kid like Calvin. Dark, morbid humor is my kryptonite. #MSWL twitter.com/Calvinn_Hobbes…

#MSWL a fun, creepy, MG ghost mystery that takes place in or around an old house and/or cemetery.
