Seriously, Brooklyn is my new favorite movie and it makes me so happy every time I turn it on. I ordered it on DVD on 2-day delivery just so I can bring it to the U.K. With me and force @writerShanna to watch it. π Anyone have a YA historical like this? #MSWL

#MSWL #LGBT How about hist fic where nobleman's WIFE finds a mistress and must conceal their love? πI second this #MSWL. I'd totally also be down for a historical where a woman is married and knows her husband is in love with another man, but they're best friends, so she helps him hide it from the public, or vice versa. Read one like this once and am still in love with it.

A metro Atlanta mom bought a vintage projector at Goodwill, not realizing until later it was full of the most amazing slides. Now she's on a quest to find this family.

Immersive historical fiction, particularly in non-Western settings; Iβm very interested in the post-WW II period. #MSWL

I love historical mysteries - think The Woman in White or The Alienist β if youβre writing something like that for YA, I want to see it! #MSWL

#MSWL I would REALLY love a well-crafted historical/art mystery for MG (something in the vein of Legends of the Hidden Temple/National Treasure) OR adult audiences (think thorough research, clever hooks). I want the audience to solve along.

I'd love to see India #HF. Caste systems. Occupation. Everyday life MG and YA dealt with (and maybe STILL deal with!). Also, #HF Australia, too, (though I'm looking for something lighter there rather than, say, the movie Australia). I'd love aboriginal #ownvoices #HF. #MSWL

I want rebellions, small town adventures, jungle or desert escapades. I want slow burns and I'm okay with some stories that make me cry (in fact, please try to make me cry!). #MSWL
