At the end of the day, I want to surround myself in stories. And words that are beautifully written. With characters that feel real to me.

Which is what we all want. #MSWL

I'd love to get a retelling of Dostoyeksky's "The Double." Give me some creepy doppelganger action! #MSWL

I very much need Anne and Gilbert to happen #MSWL Calling out @LauraTNamey on this one. But you can never have to many.

And I need a soft Halloween/Fall/Cottagecore book. Cozy and sweater weather. #MSWL

I need a summer book that feels like this #MSWL:

This might be a good time to plug my visual #MSWL pinterest.com/nataschamorris…

In case you need inspiration in a different way. :)

And a Ren Faire book. Who do I have to find to give me a Ren Faire Book???? #MSWL

This one is really specific now, because someone told me what a con medic is and I cannot stop thinking about it.

For the love of all, someone give me a con medic book. #MSWL

I also love books about other cultures and identities! Honestly, kids being kids and joyful, but infused by their worlds is what it should be.

Show me your world! Let me connect with you! #MSWL

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB

For picture books, I tend to lean towards a more commercial edge. And humor, with a heart of gold is 100% where my heart lies. #MSWL

I want an atmospheric read. Something that takes me away from...this. And my house and makes the setting almost its own character.

Misty shores, or foggy woods. Give me a lyrical sense of place in a great story. #MSWL

As any good fantasy nerd, I love fantasy. In MG and YA, but I am picky nowadays. So it has to feel different. But give me high concept stories. Give me beautiful writing. Give me morally complex characters. #MSWL

I really want graphic novels. Like I am on a huge graphic novel kick right now, and I just want some lovely graphic novels to work on.

Escapism is what I read for here. And some of my favorite books have been LILY THE THIEF, LUMBERJANES, BEETLE AND THE HOLLOW BONES #MSWL

So first up: Romances. Rom-coms. FEELINGS!!! Give me love in all its variations.

I've been looking for an ace romcom forvever and I am almost starting to think I will never find it. #MSWL

told someone this am that any literary near-future novel set in a climate change ravaged South gets immediate interest from me

“Middle Grade: a protagonist with immigrant parents, an animal story (NOT talking animals), anything with an environmental theme, inventive chapter book series.” @msmariavicente #MSWL mariavicente.com/representation

My kingdom for a Latinx fantasy (I mean, my kingdom for all of them, but I was taught to start with measured steps, so let’s start there) #MSWL twitter.com/little_mswrite…
