College set YA is hopefully catching on so please send me more that actually deals with those YA themes. #YA #MSWL

I need what all that this song evokes but in a novel. Bowie, the orchestra, minor chord (pretty sure). #MSWL #YA

Nature Boy - From "Moulin Rouge" Soundtrack by David Bowie

#MSWL #YA

#MSWL for this. I tend to like mine in the vein of @kitfrick and @LauraTNamey and @jf_smit and @kyriemccauley and @MindyMcGinnis. In case you need some examples. :)

And shoutout to the editor who inspired this one (He knows who he is): A NSYNC Lance Bass Fan YA novel. Not sure what it would look like but We Stan Him. #YA #MSWL I am calling dibs on this one so hard.

And finally my evergreen #MSWL right now: mermaids. Evil mermaids. Magical realism mermaids. 13th Year Mermaids.

And Ren Faire contemporary.

And Spice Girls friendship break-up MG or YA.

Also, talking to a teen last night about roller derby, and realized he was kind of intrigued by it. The ladies dominate this, but would love to see a YA about a teen ragtag roller derby group. #MSWL

I want a YA set in a small village. Not for nothing, my great aunt is the town gossip, and it cracks me up. Imagine trying to live your YA life in that. #MSWL

Further proof of my Ren Faire YA book needs. #MSWL I need it. Gimme gimme gimme twitter.com/girlwithhorn/s…

youtube.com/watch?v=XSAYpp… But make it YA #MSWL

Yes please #mswl

8. Book hangover. Something I haven't seen.

I have been reading in YA since I was a kid so I want to new takes on things. But I also want in on that secret of no-sleep because I stayed up too late reading a submission. #MSWL

6. I want a book that challenges the patriarchy or even the authority. Books like SUGGESTED READING by Dave Connis or THE BIRDS, THE BEES, AND YOU AND ME by Olivia Hinebaugh. Books about kids seeing how stupid adults & the rules are and they find ways to fight back. #MSWL #YA #MG

2. College set YA. But make it hella YA themes. Because sometimes the most quintessential YA themes are of finding your place in the world are actually found as a freshman in that first semester. Also, community bathrooms are SCARY. #MSWL

Also, while I do love dark fantasy, I would love to see some fantasy that can serve our younger YA readers. Like Tamora Pierce and Sherwood Smith use to. Diverse reads we can give 12-15 set. #MSWL

I wonder if there is a way to do a YA Nonfiction True Crime book. #MSWL Not sure what it would look like but it would be interesting. This is different than my fiction request for murder mysteries.

Seconded! As someone who grew up with the same kids from kindergarten to 12th, college was the first time I was with new people, and allowed to reinvent myself (as it were) but it was also the first time I was out on my own. There are alot of rich YA themes in this setting. #MSWL

#MSWL YA book like TRULY DEVIOUS. I love true crime and I think there are alot of teens who do too so I would love to see more YAs that involve teens obsessed with solving mysteries.

And now I am reminded of my love MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING and I want that but in a YA. #MSWL

OMG someone for the love of all give me this. ANY CULTURAL. But this beautiful and humorous.

I want a fluffy rom-com, and I want it to feel like Taylor Swift's cotton-candy ME. Give me feels and squees and chemistry and happiness. #MSWL #YA
