If you have a fantasy or a sci-fi or a thriller with horror elements, I really really really want to read it #mswl

I might also just mention that I tend to love very "voicy" books. If your writing style tends to be more character-driven and voice-driven, please submit to me! To name some Becky Albertalli, Rick Riordan, Maggie Stiefvater, TJ Klune, Casey McQuiston. #MSWL

"Kill your darlings," but make it a suspenseful YA with a heart-stopping twist. #MSWL

I'm also a true crime watcher/reader/consumer...one does not grow up in Des Plaines, IL and not know one's serial killers...so send me those wild ripped-from-the-headlines stories. #mswl

I love books with a great Oh Shit moment, and I'm not afraid of grit and gore. Really, a person can only feel so bad about the things they do to fictional characters. #MSWL

More than anything else, I want a book to make me feel something. I'm up for all kinds of characters and stories, but it's more important that I'm swept into their story. Scare me! Make me laugh! Make me stay up late turning pages. #MSWL

#MSWL Lately I seem to be watching a lot of TV centered on brothers (Prison Break, Mayans M.C., Supernatural, etc.) so I would love to see a brothers book. Or a bromance. I like sister books, too. I have two of them. (Sisters, not books.)

For #MSWL day, here's my current list: I am always looking for high-concept commercial fiction for MG, YA, adult. Favorite genres are horror, mystery, suspense, thriller, and contemporary.

I love #MG and #YA stories with witty banter/mother-daughter relationships/quirky towns in the same vein as Gilmore Girls! #MSWL

A darker fantasy (upper MG/YA and standalone or series) that feels reminiscent of Philip Pullman’s HIS DARK MATERIALS or Jim Henson’s THE DARK CRYSTAL. #MSWL
