Oh, I can't believe I almost forgot to mention I'm alwaysalwaysalways looking for books by diverse authors about diverse characters. #MSWL

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

#MSWL I have some great author illustrators, but I'm always looking for more. Because I'm greedy. #AllTheIllustrators #mine

#MSWL + Dysfunctional in their own special way, of course, but that's a given when it comes to family relationships. Each family is unique.

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

.@Cavewooman I ALWAYS want stories about siblings and families. YA books can have teens living in functional, loving families. Really. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm not into "issue" books in YA as they're often preachy or melodramatic. But if I connect deeply & emotionally w/protagonist—SOLD

#MSWL I tend to like weird things. What I mean is things that don't easily fit into one category or box, innovative ways of telling stories.

#MSWL I reallyreallyreally want YA focused on family relationships between sisters, mom. Need something while I'm waiting for Gilmore Girls.

#MSWL Gothic horror. Or as some are now calling it, dreadpunk. Southern gothic. Small towns with big secrets and possibly a ghost or two.

Many of my previous #MSWL tweets—even from few years ago—still stand. With the addendum that I want those types of ms but w/gorgeous writing

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…

Cryptozoologist adventure caper, real world or fantasy world. Lots of monsters. Humorous. #MSWL #SF #F #A or #YA

#mswl: this, as women's fiction. twitter.com/lindsayism/sta…

#MSWL military history, military memoir, military fiction

#MSWL thrillers that don't involve cops or agents or military or the people who are supposed to star in thrillers.

#MSWL I've been trying to find a graphic novel forever. So far no luck.

#MSWL Horror of all kinds - but preferably no were-things, vampires, or zombies.

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