I remember when I first read @jodipicoult's MY SISTER'S KEEPER, years ago, and it rocked me--such a nuanced, intimate portrayal of the impact of an ethical question/crisis. So excited for the next novel, and please do send me anything you have in Picoult's vein here. #MSWL twitter.com/randomhouse/st…Same. I want impossible choices and situations, for teens. #mswl

All this chatter about a vampire (and werewolf) comeback. I have thoughts...I like my supernatural, human-but-not characters. But I’d love some new takes—not the resurrecting of classics that worked the last time around. Let’s see new perspectives get a bite at that apple.
After a fantastic chat with @hroot, @tayhaggerty, and the Orbit editorial team this afternoon, I’ve realized that one of my evergreen #MSWL items is “sprawling, deeply messed up, magical families who both love and hate each other, and maybe change the world sometimes.”

I can't tell you how much I say I want to acquire books about friendships, especially how to deal with either growing up and apart or having an incident that breaks the friendship apart. #MSWL twitter.com/Jene_e_edwards…How many times have I asked for this? Give me my friendship breakup book—it hurts at every age. #MSWL

been thinking about how the worst heartbreak i’ve ever suffered was from a friendship breakup, and how that is so rarely explored in YA. i didn’t know how to cope because i didn’t know anyone who had gone through something that intense. we need to fix this.I can't tell you how much I say I want to acquire books about friendships, especially how to deal with either growing up and apart or having an incident that breaks the friendship apart. #MSWL

I would also love to see more slice of life meets supernatural/fantastical in the same vein as the webcomic Lore Olympus. #MSWLThis yes!!! I freaking love Lore Olympus. #mswl

SAMMME~ But I'd love to see multicultural witches. Brujas, hoodoos, asian witches running apothecaries! #mswl twitter.com/TiffanyDiahann…I'm a big proponent of diversity (begins to list family heritage) so yes to all of this. #mswl

Up next: How to Trap Kim Lionetti: it’s quite simply actually, a Ryan Gosling meme, chocolate, peanut butter (or both) and a couple good reads. Specifically: a YA thriller (#MSWL) or… instagram.com/p/BoZ1hzenfJ7/…
