I have a lot of *hard* fantasy in YA so I'm still looking for ⤵️

Adult romantasy
Young adult horror, thriller/mystery, & paranormal (I like horror that lends to the aesthetic of horror but w/ whimsy opposed to gore (Wednesday, Beetlejuice, Haunted Mansion, R.L. Stine).

As you can see from the above image, there's some changes in my MSWL. My amazing clients have mostly filled my kidlit roster, but I am starving for some adult! Especially thriller, speculative, and sci-fi. If you've got a weird little book, I want to see it! #MSWL (2/6)
