I’m officially open to queries again! Here’s a short thread of what’s at the top of my #mswl for the rest of 2020! (full MSWL linked at the end)
1. Adult Horror: I want books that have something to SAY--about our present, our past, our future. Feminist/anti-colonialist stories are close to my heart, but I& #39;m open to anything that can be described as "smart + terrifying." I& #39;m also open to grounded fantasy w/ horror elements
2. Adult thrillers/suspense: I like stories w/ top notch characterization + a slow burn, and also stories that are gripping page turners that I finish in one sitting. A few favorites: Ruth Ware, Rhiannon Navin, Wendy Heard, Gillian Flynn, Danya Kukafka, Oyinkan Braithwaite #mswl
3. RomCom - Adult or YA. I want laugh out loud, swoony, sexy, joyful reads. I loved RWRB and The Hating Game on the Adult side, To All the Boys and Gentleman& #39;s Guide on the YA side. But really, I& #39;m happy to read anything that& #39;s truly Rom AND Com. #mswl
4. LatinX representation in kidlit- all ages, all genres, though I am particularly interested in finding a YA contemp & a MG fantasy! A few favorites: @LauraTNamey, @Nina_Writes, @acevedowrites, @djolder, and @CeliaCPerez. (You should be reading *all* of them!)
And finally...
5. MG with a Big Hook! I like funny books and magical books and sad books and creepy books. In other words, I& #39;m open to any genre, as long as it has a fun, snappy premise that& #39;ll get a kid& #39;s attention!
