Adding to this: love, love, love any story that doesn't use violence as a means of conflict resolution.God, so much this last thing. I keep saying I want high stakes but not high body counts. #MSWL

Time for a 2019 #MSWL. I am very much looking for MG and chapter books. Much as I love YA, I have a lot of it!Basically...if you decide to query Michael, you should query me too. #MSWL (is that how this works?)
Also, this is the first time I've articulated this, but one of my favorite books—and movies—is Call Me By Your Name. (Rereading the book last year was one of my greatest joys of 2018.) Boy, what I would give to find a coming-of-age and romance with that same pull. ❤️❤️❤️ #MSWL

But also, I am still so hungry to find terrific, hooky, voice-driven contemporary/realistic. Am especially hungry from those told from POVs I don't already intimately know already. I want to be surprised!And please, my greatest and most everlasting and true #MSWL is to find an epistolary novel in the tradition (or not? — surprise me!) of I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (my favorite book of all time) or the Montmaray Journals by Michelle Cooper. 🖊️🖊️🖊️

#mswl 2019: Sweet, smart YA contemporary love stories: think TO ALL THE BOYS I’VE LOVED BEFORE, WHAT IF IT’S US, SIMON VS., EVERYTHING LEADS TO YOU, etc. (3/13)...but also anti-love stories, break-up stories, friendship break-up stories. Give me all the explorations of relationships of all types, please! #mswl

I'll send out some more in-depth #mswl tweets next week, but in the meantime, two things I'd really love to see more of in my inbox are dual timeline narratives and crime / mystery novels, historical or contemporary. Send 'em!
