Roseanne A. Brown 🌠 @rosiesrambles

we've all worked hard to give enemies-to-lovers the shine it deserves lately but i think we have yet to tap the full potential of lovers-to-enemies and we must fix this

I think my favorite iteration of this is lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers again. #mswl

Ya'll, I watched Pitch this weekend on @Hulu and now I'm so depressed that there isn't a season 2. The stakes! The chemistry! The feminism! It was soooo good. #bringbackpitch

I should also say that I want an adult rom-com in this vein! #MSWL

@_RobertSchultz My freshman year roommate was like "hey, I know were both bi, but I don't want any drama" and then we made sweet drama together

And I'm still looking for a soccer team book. Would prefer 2-4 main characters who are on the team and POV characters. I'll settle for any sport if soccer isn't available. #MSWL

This is general, but I want some laugh out loud middle grade #MSWL

Over the top drama like that found in BOYS OVER FLOWERS and SHINING INHERITANCE. #MSWL

A magic school book similar to IN OTHER LANDS. Give me your queer and/or POC protags, your questions of morality, how society should function, fluid gender dynamics, your charming creatures, painful growing up, learning to belong swoony romance, and enduring friendships. #MSWL

Historical fiction that is not set in the US or Europe. #MSWL

Just thinking how much I’d love to get a Jewish YA that is NOT centered on the Holocaust. Give me a Birthright thriller!! A Camp Chi summer romance! A Hillel set-up gone wrong!! And the more food descriptions, the better. Please & thank you #mswl #amediting

I know everyone's been posting about this, but I LOVED Never Have I Ever on Netflix, and if you have a book that's similar, please send it to me. #MSWL

Looking for more high concept, diverse, adult rom-coms! Must be funny. Must have a good hook. #MSWL

I'd love to see more middle grade fantasy in my inbox! I get a lot of contemporary realistic and sci-fi, but not as much by the way of fantasy. #MSWL

Kit "PREORDER DERBY DAREDEVILS" Rosewater @kitrosewater

If you want a female, queer feminist Sandlot crew... if you loved the dynamics of the kids in Stranger Things... if you loved Roller Girl... if you wanted Whip It to be queer... then you'll love THE DERBY DAREDEVILS! #kidlitgoesviral twitter.com/AmieKaufman/st…

I know this author is talking about her book that already exists, and which you should go buy, but also big #MSWL for anything that sounds like this!

Currently listening to Binge Mode Harry Potter, rewatching ATLA, next rewatch Dawson’s Creek. Next read? Hopefully some YA or MG featuring a ride or die group of friends. A story where friendship and love is central to the protag’s success. #MSWL

Loving THE CIRCLE on Netflix. Can someone send me a book with a similar vibe or premise?? #MSWL

· 19 Nov 2019

In honor of Holly Black's Queen of Nothing release today, I'd love more fantasy with complicated court politics like this series. Other examples, The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkowski, and Crown Duel/Court Duel by Sherwood Smith. #MSWL

Enjoying Disney +, and guys, A Goofy Movie is still so freaking good! On that note, I’d love a parent/child road trip book. #MSWL
