#MSWL any kind of MG that involves kids getting into shennanigans. Humorous and heartfelt. Throw in a big dog as well and I'm yours

I want to find a creepy & atmospheric book a la Coraline for MG. Something with beautiful writing that gets under my skin. #MSWL

Redemption stories, particularly when the road to reaching redemption looks anything but familiar. YA or MG. #MSWL

Creative story structures & formats. If you play with notions of time or reality or truth or choice along the way, so much the better. #MSWL

Would love a magic/adventure #MG with lush world building and fun twists in same vein as Ella Enchanted/The Princess and the Hound. #MSWL

Also, I have a new space on my list for an extremely smart epic fantasy for adults that does new things with tropes. #mswl

YA/MG that's dark, spooky, atmospheric. Gothic and/or Southern Gothic tone. #MSWL Think CURIOUS TALE OF IN-BETWEEN amzn.to/298gox8

An #mswl from vacation: f/f sports YA (soccer, maybe?) that feels like @elmify - sharp, nuanced, warm, & funny.

Smart, sharp, intelligent writing will always catch my eye, in any YA/MG genre. As will rich, lush, lyrical prose if well-controlled. #MSWL
