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

I love coming-of-age stories but a plot bigger than the internal struggles (i.e. The Age of Miracles, The Secrets of Lake Road) #MSWL #A

Family secrets with deep rooted drama & single events that change the course of lives: i.e. Atonement, Labor Day #MSWL #A

#mswl: a contemporary YA novel in which a teen doesn't speak the same language as his/her parents. also, definitely #ownvoices.

#MSWL But I ALSO love characters that just want SO BADLY to do good, like in THE GOBLIN EMPEROR or Finn from SW:TFA

#MSWL I love characters that are willing to get their hands dirty to reach their goal, that are sly and cunning and ruthless

#MSWL Commercial/upmarket fiction that handles family secrets/reconciliation w/tenderness like THE MEMORY GARDEN & TELL THE WOLVES I'M HOME

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

#YA horror please! I want to be too scared to go to sleep. No werewolves, vampires, or zombies though. #mswl #H

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!

#MSWL action-packed science fiction, possibly with a big sprawling world, but powerful characters & motivations are a must

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

Would love some voice-driven, witty #A (like The Rosie Project or Where'd You Go, Bernadette). #MSWL #LF

#YA heists please! Especially if there's a big twist ending... #MSWL

#MSWL more young girls interested in STEM fields, both fiction and nonfiction!

#MG funny fairy tales! #MSWL #F

#MSWL really commercial, contemporary YA with a fantastic love story. Nothing too deep, just pure fun.
