Hey, #MSWL: I really want a beautiful magic university book. THE MAGICIANS or KINGKILLER CHRONICLES but feminist.

For the holidays I want something as creative and delicious and comforting a read as THE DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN. If you have the next PERN, please get in touch! #MSWL

Anyway coming from today’s discussion of old favorites: please send me more fun young-woman epic fantasy with beautiful dresses, high stakes, and some enemies-to-lovers, thank you. #mswl twitter.com/hannahnpbowman…

Do they end up CARING FOR EACH OTHER’S INJURIES in a TENT during a WAR until TRUST DEVELOPS and SEXUAL TENSION?? Is he shocked to see her in a DRESS not just MUDDY BREECHES after the battle is won? It is my kind of happy epic fantasy. (And I’m in the mood for that!) #mswl

3. A truly epic space opera. Either one with fascinating and unique worldbuilding (think THE STARS ARE LEGION or A DOOR INTO OCEAN) or one that's just plain fun as well as galaxy-spanning (think the Vorkosigan books). #MSWL

A delightful conversation with an editor this morning has reminded me of some things I'd really like to see #MSWL:
1. A prison-abolitionist utopian SF novel. Think THE DISPOSSESSED but specifically about restorative justice.
2. A really good first contact book like THE SPARROW.

me reading the part where dumbledore dies pic.twitter.com/sEIBKk5qyk

The fact that Snape kills Dumbledore to maintain his cover is honestly one of the best things in those books. Someone write me a new story about a Snape figure making those choices, please. #MSWL

(Don’t tell me about RED RISING I am familiar with that one)

@hannahnpbowman @maxgladstone don't forget how centaurs and merfolk aren't classified as people and everyone's like oh that's fine

Re: this thread, if someone wants to write me a fantasy novel about a kid who goes to magic school but realizes the entire structure of the magical world needs to be overthrown, I would be 100% there for that. Bonus points if they have to side with the dark wizards to do it #MSWL

Here’s the thing about the end of Moana: she doesn’t save Te Fiti by putting back the heart. She saves her by really seeing her while she’s still broken. That makes me cry. (Also: basically my #MSWL forever!)
