Ah! @JerryCraft asks @Ebonyteach about possibilities in bks for kids that are about slavery. How to do that is something Dr. Thomas has been thinking about for a long time. She's wondering about adventure stories that feature Af Am resistance as a possibility.I've been hoping for this kind of book in my inbox--hint, hint, authors! (After the holidays at this point--we're closed for submissions while we catch up/go on break. But do please send it to me after Jan. 2.) #MSWL

In Mystery, Tana French is my favorite. I’d love mysteries with writing elevated to her level, but really I’m looking for ANYTHING in mystery. From procedurals to regular old mysteries, psychological thrillers. Suspense like Susan Furlong!(Excluding spy books, please). #MSWL pic.twitter.com/ilC5fQlS3ABonus points if any of these are Irish related, by the way! #MSWL

In Literary/Upmarket Fiction, I’m looking mainly for books that explore families like Sing, Unburied, Sing (or groups, like Station Eleven) #MSWL

I also love speculative elements that run the gamut from DRY to STRANGER THINGS. Ultimately, I like stories grounded in our reality, no matter a spec element. #MSWLI’m dying (heh) to find a thriller author like BookEnds’ very own Amanda Searcy or Karen McManus. Twisty and dark. Bonus points for something as unputdownable as Watch You Burn’s fire obsessed Jenny! #MSWL

In YA, I’m mainly looking for contemporary or mystery (more tk) stories. Books like Crow Flight or Abigail Johnson’s books. I worked on and love Laura Taylor Jamey’s THE LIBRARY OF LOST THINGS. pic.twitter.com/6xusQ24OjmI also love speculative elements that run the gamut from DRY to STRANGER THINGS.

Clearly I love animal protagonists, but humans welcome, too 😂 #MSWL As a rule, not one for appliances or food as the main character. It’s just not for me.Also, CHICKENS. I am dying for that chicken picture book. I’ll know it when I read it, I think. #MSWL

I’m looking for picture books like Elise Parsley, Tammi Sauer and Ryan T Higgins. I prefer humorous, silly or witty picture books. Things kids (okay I) can read over and over again and still laugh. #MSWL pic.twitter.com/Q0Nhc6GGqJClearly I love animal protagonists, but humans welcome, too 😂 #MSWL As a rule, not one for appliances or food as the main character.
