I'd also love to see #ownvoices Latin-America-inspired mythological fantasy. It could be contemporary, historical, or a fresh retelling.

Anything featuring my favourite animal gets bonus attention.

#YA #MSWL :
- all genres & YA/Adult crossover
- fast paced, high stakes, drama
- snarky, voicey, morally grey protagonists & villains
- trope-filled romances!
- competitions, tests, quests
- retellings & fresh takes on classics
- YA fantasy is my favorite!

Something I didn’t know I wanted on my #mswl
• fairy tale or classic retellings/reimaginings
• modern stories about characters from fairy tales/classics and themes from said stories

FOLKTALE or FAIRYTALE retellings, particularly from a little explored tale or from an underexplored culture or canon, would immediately grab my attention. By no means does a retelling need to stick strictly to the original source - a liberal dose of imagination is welcome. #mswl

I’m particularly in the mood for astrology-inspired fantasy, courtly intrigue, a witchy romance, myth & fairytale retellings, sapphic romantasy, undercover assassins, life or death trials and anything dark academia...

In fantasy: Anything with a fairy tale at the root of the story is fair game but also any retelling of a classic story is my jam. From Shakespeare to Spielberg, I love stories that take familiar characters and upends their world and everything we thought we knew about them. #mswl

In historical fiction, I’d prefer stories not set in Western Europe or the USA. Hidden histories and female-led retellings are also up my alley.

-Pets (cats!!), esp. if the owner was hesitant at first

-Retellings (not necessarily of popular fairytales—love DON’T LOOK BACK by Lilliam Rivera)

-Characters who don’t want kids
