Will a librarian or used bookseller tell me which author or series they see often damaged by bathwater? Those are the books I want, the books folks got so absorbed in that they turned a page and dropped the whole thing in the tub and then tried to salvage with the hairdryer trickThese are always the books I want to read and the books I want to represent #mswl

This. This is #MSWL. Give me a lazy book, that doesn’t demand hard work or trying. Give me a book about how it’s okay to take breaks.

As far as my #mswl goes, right now I’m looking for mostly character-driven YA with a killer voice featuring one or more of these things:

Hello my nonfiction writing friends! I have a TON of #mswl tweets for you this morning, so buckle up.I'm working on a big, updated nonfiction #mswl post for my NF writing friends, but, in the meantime, this thread gives an idea of the types of projects I'll be looking for in 2022. Send 'em if you got 'em.
