And also a friendship break book that also happens to be set in the 90s, and their friendship might be ending because the Spice Girls broke up. But you know... #MSWL #MG

At the end of the day, I want to surround myself in stories. And words that are beautifully written. With characters that feel real to me.

Which is what we all want. #MSWL

This one is really specific now, because someone told me what a con medic is and I cannot stop thinking about it.

For the love of all, someone give me a con medic book. #MSWL

I also love books about other cultures and identities! Honestly, kids being kids and joyful, but infused by their worlds is what it should be.

Show me your world! Let me connect with you! #MSWL

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB

For picture books, I tend to lean towards a more commercial edge. And humor, with a heart of gold is 100% where my heart lies. #MSWL

I want an atmospheric read. Something that takes me away from...this. And my house and makes the setting almost its own character.

Misty shores, or foggy woods. Give me a lyrical sense of place in a great story. #MSWL

As any good fantasy nerd, I love fantasy. In MG and YA, but I am picky nowadays. So it has to feel different. But give me high concept stories. Give me beautiful writing. Give me morally complex characters. #MSWL

I really want graphic novels. Like I am on a huge graphic novel kick right now, and I just want some lovely graphic novels to work on.

Escapism is what I read for here. And some of my favorite books have been LILY THE THIEF, LUMBERJANES, BEETLE AND THE HOLLOW BONES #MSWL

Now that I have had tacos, let's #MSWL! Because what is a little agency transition if you don't tell everyone what you are hoping to see in the world?

So first up: Romances. Rom-coms. FEELINGS!!! Give me love in all its variations.

I've been looking for an ace romcom forvever and I am almost starting to think I will never find it. #MSWL
