Random #MSWL : YA fantasy that features tattoos in some way

#MSWL YA fantasy series

Fast food work place comedy for #YA #MSWL

I kind of want a #YA horror book #MSWL

2025 #MSWL :
-an YA Fantasy that feels fresh
-a sweeping epic YA romance
-a great YA mystery (LOVE Rian Johnson and if you can comp to the vibes there, even better)
-a YA mermaid book
-College set sex advice column book
-hypernormality in Dystopian
-spooky adjacent picture book
-weird and quirky

Patrick Ness's THE REST OF US JUST LIVE HERE meets THE HUNGER GAMES or THE GRACE YEAR.

Basically hypernormalisation against a dystopian setting. #MSWL #YA

Also, I need a lady knight book. Maybe in a contemporary? #MSWL #YA

Also, I really like unlikable characters. They have to be relatable, and morally grey, but wow are they complex. #MSWL #YA

Mermaids.

Predators of the deep. Soft mermaids who never go in the water.

Give me mermaids, please! #MSWL #YA #MG

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, history of tattoos, etc #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

And as usual, I am going to be looking for YA.

A good reminder about how I will be reading the difference between New Adult and Young Adult.

Here for the cozy YA mystery #MSWL

Okay, I freaking love Ren Faires and I would love to see a Ren Faire contemporary YA #MSWL

Ahead of opening to queries this week, I am going to retweet some of my #MSWL tweets. This month I am really looking to find more YA novels, particularly hoping to find a fantasy or more contemporary coming of age romances.

Also #MSWL for Daphne from SCOOBY DOO or Elle Woods in a YA murder mystery.

Alrighty, that's all the graphics I have made right now. Remember, these can be MG or YA or in graphic novel form, and marginalized voices are welcome to run with these ideas as well. I actually think some of these might be better explored through those lens!

This next one is a #IYKYK type #MSWL : I love that British narration style--almost Neil Gaiman-esque feel--that features quirky shops. Id' love to see an MG or YA with elements like this.

Mermaids, Take 2 #MSWL . This one is all fun, summer, contemporary vibes, but people who work as professional mermaids. If you watch MERPEOPLE on netflix, I want the fun, summer, YA version #MSWL
