#MSWL What I'll call "Shiny Sci-Fi," a la The Thousandth Floor or Minority Report, with world-building that shows both the polished surface and the grimy world underneath. #YA #MG

I'm definitely looking to add to my MG list! I love some contemp. MG that deals with tough issues, MG fantasy, and MG sci-fi (yes, sometimes even the space kind here). I'm SUPER picky about MG voice though, so just send it in and see what happens! =) Maybe I'll love it! #MSWL

So I found my witch writer, my pirates writer, and my ballet writer this year! WOOO!!! What am I looking for next?...

...Sci-Fi, gaming, and dystopian/futuristic sci-fi. I'm not a space opera person though! Sorry! #MSWL This goes for MG and YA! =)

YA SF that I've never seen before. Twist an old trope or birth a whole new one. I'd love to see something fresh in YA SF. #MSWL

Would love some SFF where the world building could be pitched as sci-fi meets old west. #MSWL

I too would like a gay space heist book, but my taste in heists is more Ocean’s 11 than Firefly. Show me the tech and gadgets. #MSWL

#MSWL: I want a #YA about a girl gamer. What’s it mean to prove your place there? SF element a lá READY PLAYER ONE is cool too (but not necessary).

The SFF book I just can't stop thinking/talking about: The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson. She is a masterful storyteller. Anything similar to this type Muslim fantasy is on my #mswl. #FridayReads goodreads.com/blog/show/1652…
