my only evermore take atm is that I would very much like someone to write me a 'tis the damn season novel about a celebrity returning to her small hometown during the liminal week between xmas and new years and making out with her townie ex. Big Sweet Home Alabama energy. #mswlok so I’ve come to the realization that this is the plot of the 2005 masterpiece Just Friends so I guess... #mswl: Just Friends, without the fatphobia and ideally, queer

if we've talked about books in the last five years, I have likely screamed about how much I love THE ROYAL WE. Now, you get to hear me scream about my rabid love for its sequel - a perfect, warm hug of a book that you absolutely must buy and read and talk to me about immediately. twitter.com/fuggirls/statu…Literary Agent

#MSWL: I've spent most of the last 15 yrs of my life in basements, warehouses, old storefronts across the US listening to live music and meeting the best people. I'd love to see that captured authentically in fiction (but pls god don't write it if you didn't live it.)

#MSWL: #ownvoices #MG or #YA protagonists with chronic illness, pain, and/or a disability in a story not focused on that, and where no one dies--it's just a part of life. This kind of rep is important to me & I rarely see it in subs or published books.YA only for me, but please yes this. If I had read more representations of chronic pain when I was younger I probably wouldn't have believed my pediatrician when he said "you're too young to have back problems". #MSWL
