If you have a story that's about a girl who falls in love with a creepy shadow figure. I REALLY want it. #mswl

SUPER SPECIFIC HORROR IDEA. Has anyone ever seen Thirteen Ghosts? A super cheesy movie about people that get stuck in a house full of 13 serial killer ghosts. I LOVE IT. I want a YA based on it. #mswl

Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE stories that have a group of 4 or more characters going on adventures, figuring out problems, or trying to save the world. MG or YA, but give me stories like STAND BY ME, SANDLOT, STRANGER THINGS. #mswl

Speaking of fantasy. I want a story about a character based off Nico di Angelo from the Percy Jackson universe. I love that little tragic-son-of-hades boy. To be more specific, here is a prompt for you: What if Nico was Arya Stark? YA or MG works for me! #mswl

Some more romance, but fantasy this time! I totally ship Harrow and Viren from The Dragon Prince. Please, someone, send me a story about a King and his adviser falling in love! But only after that adviser tries to kill him. #mswl

More romance! RED, WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE is my absolute favorite romance EVER. Can someone please send me a romance, but with more than just romance? A romance to hits some hard topics, is funny and heartbreaking all at once, and is queer. #mswl

#MSWL day!!! I use the tag all the time, and my website also has a pretty specific wish list, but here is another thread of what I have been craving RIGHT NOW. pic.twitter.com/66QRJBndba

ROMANCE! Specifically true enemies to lovers. Like literally want to kill each other before they have to work together for some reason and maybe kiss? But still, hate each other and now hate themselves for wanting to kiss more. So yeah, Jude and Cardan but adult. ;-) #mswl

Last one until after lunch but Southern psychological thriller in the vein of Sharp Objects. Less damaged heroines but more matriarchal and family secrets and drama. #MSWL

I thought of another: A culinary history/food memoir. Think: The Cooking Gene (a look at people and culture) or Salt (how a food shaped history). Any topic goes. #MSWL

Alternate history focusing on sociopolitical issues (even Roman á clef). Think FATHERLAND by Robert Harris. #MSWL

I'm dying to find more accessible adult sci-fi and fantasy novels, along the lines of @ChuckWendig @pengshepherd @DelilahSDawson and @KatWithSword.

I've read everything they've written, and would love to find a SFF novel that makes me feel like The Book of M. #MSWL

Done with lunch and have to leave Twitter now, but I'll leave you with this last #MSWL: an EPIC star-crossed love story! Can be enemies-to-lovers (think CRIER'S WAR or SERPENT & DOVE), kept-apart-by-circumstances, or just... slow-burning mutual pining because Feelings Are Hard
