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

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

#MSWL Still into retellings of fairy-tales and myths, but with some kind of twist. Different ending? Gender swapped? You tell me!
