My kingdom for a picture book about rats trying to prove they’re as cute as mice. Positive rat PR would truly make my list complete #mswl

Coming in late (but hot): February’s #readinglist:
- Misery
- Red, White & Royal Blue *
- The Department of Sensitive Crimes
- Nothing to See Here *
- Catfishing on Catnet
- How to Survive a Horror Movie
- On the Come Up *

* #MSWL

#MSWL: I’m usually not open to picture books I don’t solicit, but I’d love to see something celebrating holidays we don’t have many picture books about. Ones that aren’t currently served in publishing written by #own authors. So if you’ve got it, send it my way.

Been slowly making my way through the Rick Riordan presents lineup, and sweet peaches (see what I did there?), these books are so good. I’m very much so looking for an MG action/adventure global mythology standalone or series. VERY MUCH SO. #MSWL

Happy New Year! December’s #readinglist:
- The Collectors
- A Storm of Wishes
- With the Fire on High*
- Of Monsters and Madness
- Nightingale
- Stepsister*
- Don’t Date Rosa Santos*
- Dragon Pearl
- Aru Shah and the End of Time*
- Aru Shah and the Song of Death*

*#MSWL

I thought I could simply start Stepsister by @JenWritesBooks last night, but no, four hours later I had consumed it. So what I’m saying: GIVE ME GIRL WARRIORS PLEASE. Yes, this is a #MSWL.

I know mythology tends to skew MG, but I’d LOVE to see more global mythology and folklore—especially in genres outside of action/adventure. I know y’all have some spooky folklore ripe for horror. And rom coms with minor deities? Guided journies through loss? Yes. All of it. #MSWL

Finally got back at it. November’s #readinglist:
- All of Us with Wings
- Look Both Ways*
- Wilder Girls*
- Open Mic Night at Westminster Cemetery
- The Agony House*
- Sawkill Girls*
- Technically, You Started It
- The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein*

*#MSWL

There’s something I want to chat about that relates to my #MSWL but also has to do with my own life experience and those of others. The aughts, when I was in high school, were a ripe time for bi erasure. The classic line was that being bi was the gateway drug to going full/on 1/?

Bit of a slow month for outside-of-work choices, but October’s #readinglist included:
- What if a Fish (ARC)
- Dear Haiti, Love Alaine
- The Gravity of Us (ARC)
- Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All

And let’s be real, they’re all #MSWL material.

#MSWL everything about this. All the girl power in everything but especially in sports. And girls banding together instead of seeing each other as the enemy. I know HS And MS girls can be mean, but they can also be loving, supportive, and empowering, and that’s what I wanna see.

#MSWL #YA competitive climbing and also dismantling the patriarchy (as per usual).

I’m generally not a good fit for music books, that being said, I would LOVE an #ownvoices #YA that takes place in the world of #kpop #MSWL

This was a bit of a lighter month, but I still got some solid titles down on my #readinglist:
- Swipe Right for Murder
- #Murdertrending*
- #Murderfunding
(Bit of a theme there, no?)
- The Weight of Our Sky*
- The Last True Poets of the Sea*
- Kiss Number 8*

*#MSWL

I don’t even know how BUT #MSWL PLEASE.

Yessss, send my way #MSWL

Want to know my perennial (and yet also new! and improved!) #MSWL? Check it out here: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/sava…

Yessss multicultural mythology all day. #MSWL I would LOVE to see more of these #ownvoices queries.

All right, y'all ready for my #MSWL Day collection of oddities? Cause it's coming at ya (all #YA and #MG):
- Recreational fighting, both combat and noncombat (MMA, kick/boxing, karate, fencing, weapon work, etc.)
- Girl gamers

There’s no one right way to go through the stages of grief, and if we spent more time normalizing, say, taking a year and a half to get through anger (🙋🏻‍♀️), we’d feel less like people “fucked us up” and more like we’re having a universally human experience. So, yeah, #YA #MSWL.
