In ANNE OF WINDY POPLARS, Anne goes to a wedding & accidentally-on-purpose reunites the cranky sister of the bride with her childhood sweetheart, who *sails across the bay at 2AM.*

#MSWL that YA/lit novel.
Replying to @bredalot

Give me the crankypants heroine who always says the wrong thing, the kindhearted boy who always makes her laugh, the fight that tore them apart, & the light in the attic that brings them back just before it sours forever. #MSWL

TFW when everything you think of for #mswl is both a repeat of yourself a year ago AND other people today:

#MSWL YA fake-relationship stories, please! They are so contrived but also my kryptonite.

Since everyone is #mswl-ing their favorite tropes! I LOVE fake relationships, whether they turn real or fall apart spectacularly.

#mswl Now that I'm full on the Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan train, give me some space stories that feel like SHARDS OF HONOR.

Also been watching a lot of GBBO and would love, eg, Martha's story: teen girl juggles competition & school, v. cozy feel. #mswl

First: still looking for the f/f contemp YA of my dreams; funny, warm, layered, & more "coming of age" than "romance." #mswl

I'd also love some epic, fast-paced, character-driven fantasy inspired by non-Western history (again, esp #ownvoices). #mswl

A thing I've been liking lately: fantasy worlds with magic but also technology from within the last century. #MSWL

The thing I want most right now is f/f contemporary YA that's funny, poignant, warm, & layered, a la Emma Mills. Esp. #ownvoices. #MSWL

One of the things I would like to do in the coming years is rep a lot of optimistic, loving books. Especially diverse ones. #mswl
