#MSWL mermaids. I am looking for a lyrical, atmospheric mermaid as if Neil Gaiman wrote The Little Mermaid. But I don't want a retelling of The Little Mermaid. Give me something new that engages with mermaid myths

Okay we are doing an #MSWL. So first up: comps. If you have the hilarity of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS, the romance and squee of BRIDGERTON, or the hijinx of BOB'S BURGERS I want it.

I have a ton of TV I love but it I am trying to think what I want that vibes.

I havr been saying this for a while now
#MSWL for this

Bear decided he is a lap dog so switching to brainstorm more #MSWL

I want something atmospheric and enclosed. #MSWL

Professional Mermaids.

Show me other contemporary settings that are not always the everyday I am exposed to. #MSWL

Ace rom-com please! #MSWL

Reminder, these MSWL could also be applied to a graphic novel. Jus saying #MSWL

I want an amusement park YA book. Not saying **cough cough** Disney, but if Disney inspired the shenangians, okay. #MSWL

I want a poison garden book #MSWL

I want YA that vibes with these two YA projects. There was a effervescent feeling to the writing here. #MSWL

I want a YA that feels different from what we are seeing right now. Mix Genres, play with tropes, be inventive in your structure #MSWL

I want a romance that hits you in the feels. I love drama and tension (think Billy and Daisy in DAISY JONES AND THE SIX). #MSWL

I want an atmospheric mermaid book. I have been so picky in this area because my brain knows what it wants but I haven't seen it. #MSWL

Perennial ask: Ren Faire. #MSWL

SO I found out about true crime conferences, and I cannot stop thinking about a murder mystery that takes place at a conference where everyone is an armchair detective. #MSWL

How could I forget I love second chance romances!!!! #MSWL

I want to be haunted by a book reading experience: to squee as the characters go through drama (love a good dramatic, well earned fight) and to not be able to shake the characters from my brain. #MSWL

Finally, what tropes make my heart go pitter and patter:
-enemies to lovers
-mutual pining (maybe mixed with enemies to lovers?)
-slow burn
-dark/sunny
-starcrossed lovers and love triangles (Team Jacob for the win!)

#MSWL

Also if someone can figure out how to give me a cozy mystery as a YA, I want it. #MSWL
