If you think about it necromancy is really just recycling

I read LOVEBOAT TAIPEI this weekend. Good distraction. Loved the main character’s arc. Would love to find a MS like this. #mswl #quarantinereading

I wrote a long post about my #quetzalspotting on Tumblr and why I think there is a #MSWL story in there. esckeyes.tumblr.com/post/190907004…

Listening to podcast with @irin about the Weinstein trial. She says, regarding his defense strategy. “She said if Weinstein is convicted, then we'll have a world in which women will never be asked out on a date and never get the door held open for them.”

Now I don’t represent genre romance, would love women’s fiction or YA about finding love after a sexual assault. #mswl

I think I would like a story about a child who goes abroad for Christmas and is aghast at different cultural practices only to realize the spirit of Christmas is universal. Or something sappy and multi-cultural. #mswl

I would love an urban horror about the people left behind after a disaster. I read FIVE DAYS AT MEMORIAL and it was harrowing. Was also thinking of the second ep of TWD where the gang is protecting the elderly. That was a cool twist. #mswl

Been thinking about how I would like a YA or MG at an all girl's school. But not a fancy one. Supernatural elements welcome but not necessary. #mswl

I am currently closed to queries for medical reasons. But when I come back (hopefully in October) I will want fun kidlit to cheer me up! #mswl

This is my plane read. Barely started and I already have so many #MSWL thoughts. The Ndongo state was believed you be founded by a "skilled blacksmith" who could talk to a god. Where is that story?

I would really like a romantic comedy about two people with mental illnesses. Tired of seeing them die tragically. Want people to learn how to live happily. #mswl

4. Don't drink sea water you idiot.

Also, #mswl, I would like more novels about women in girls in survival situations.
