@Awritesinger G'day from downunder. Would you consider a YA supernatural horror set in Australia?

An updated #MSWL thread! In general, I’m looking for Adult, YA, & MG fiction. I'm drawn to romance, horror, lower SFF, and genre blending & am always looking for more diverse perspectives. I am NOT right for erotica, non-fic, lit fic, or lower MG/chap books. Specifics below.

Introduce yourself with 7 books: The Book Thief, MZusak; To Kill a Mockingbird, HLee; The Kite Runner, Hosseini; All the Light we Cannot See, ADoerr; The Poisonwood Bible, BKingsolver; Addition, TJordan and The Idea of Perfection by KGrenville.

@PTerlip Would you consider Australian settings? I am about to query a YA psychological horror starring a haunted house and a sentient plant!

I am at the stage of reading a book where I want to know how it will end but I don't want to say goodbye to the characters. Tiny Uncertain Miracles by @Eleytherius has been a delight. I will miss Marick. (And Dolly!)

@JLBleakley Sounds brilliant.

BROKEN GROUND X HOUSE OF HOLLOW Uprooted Heather just wants to get through the school year alone. But when a deadly sinkhole reveals more than just Roman artifacts, she must turn to her classmates as surviving high school takes on a new meaning. #KidLitPit #YA #H

@BooksWithNooks Spooky concept. Love it!

@kit_bowman Sounds awesome.

Iron Widow x Avatar:TLA If anyone finds out 17-year-old Inanna has blood magic--the power to control bodies--they'll burn her as a witch. When war erupts, her magic is the only thing that can save her people, she must choose: protect her secret, or her tribe. #KidLitPit #YA #F

@AttaLeanne Cute!

@RlblackwellA Awkward!

@PipMurphyAuthor High drama.

@AmyLouiseReads Love this idea.

THE PAPER & HEARTS SOCIETY x DON’T LOOK UP To save a coastal town from climate catastrophe, 16yo blogger Tamara must pressure the council to act before ecological collapse. Being a teen is hard enough when the adults leave it to you to save the world. #KidLitPit #YA #Con

@belindamgrant Tension and drama!

DEFY THE NIGHT X SHADOW&BONE A tenacious ink mage finds herself magically bonded to the prince who broke her heart. She must sever that link before the tyrannical king discovers it. Because if he does, the prince will earn his crown—but she’ll lose her life #KidLitPit #F #YA #R

@L_ElliottAuthor Great idea, great image!

@batemanazoe Go Ivy!

#KidLitPit #YA #CON #DIS #OWN #LGBT #LF Ivy is having the worst week ever! Girlfriend cheated on her, she’s pretty sure she failed the exam and a fall has her giving up football forever. With a new wheelchair, and the help from the cute Kibibi, can Ivy rebuild her life?

@Words_of_a_Nerd Sounds like an X File!

Armada x ReadyP1 We are not alone. Aliens wearing human skin exist. They were held off for centuries. But now the protectors are dying. It's up to Lucas, a loner who loved classic arcade games, to waken his destiny. But there is more to him than meets the eye. #kidlitpit #SF #YA

@sburdorf Sounds interesting.

To save his crown Prince Ash will do anything even kidnapping his brother's fiance. Unfortunately, plans go awry when a wizard turns her into a doe & the Wild Hunt is about to start - & she's the prey. To save her Ash will use magic he's denied,but at what cost #YA #F #KidLitPit

@Humzumble Ooh, sounds amazing.

Magic is addictive; addicts lethal, mindless puppets. Tai studies it despite fearing its power. Esme's immune but magic dominates her life. When addiction threatens everyone they love, they must work together, face their fears and risk everything to save them #KidLitPit #YA #F

@AnnDevon1 High stakes!

Blood Like Magic X Shadowhunters Blackmailed into a survival mission with her family's lives on the line, Rhi is hunted by mythical beasts. But when an enemy turns out to be her fated soulmate, she must choose...her family or her heart. #YA #R #SF #F #kidlitpit

@mariewcheng @kidlitpit Love the 80s flashback idea.

#KidLitPit #YA @kidlitpit LADY BIRD x ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE An insecure HS senior struggles for independence from her overbearing immigrant mother, as flashbacks to her mother’s tumultuous adolescence in 1980 intertwines with the present.

@dr_mark_purcell This aounds intriguing.
