I'd like to see some villains who may not really be villainous after all. #MSWL

I also like the idea, as with those memoirs, that it's not always a woman grieving the death of a husband. What about a child? a parent? a best friend? a marriage? a lifestyle? There are so many other people and things we grieve #MSWL

I would like stories on grief in fiction #MSWL, but I want them taken to the next level. I want to see someone do something extreme.

for example, I'm always fascinated and interested in books on grief, but I feel that most of what I see are just a rehash of the same thing. It all feels like a standard grief journey #MSWL

The hard thing about a call for a book is that it's not about finding a book with those themes, it's finding a book that does it in a completely different way. #MSWL

It's one thing to give me a story about a mother, but I want an against-all-odds story, about a mother or otherwise #MSWL

It's crazy how often I've called out for mother stories and yet I don't feel like I get enough, especially with the emotional ooomph I'm looking for #MSWL

In that same vein, I like the idea of a mother fighting through something like that, survival either with children in tow or knowing that she needs to get to her children #MSWL

In fact, I like survival books of all sorts. Someone lost in the wilderness maybe after a plane crash or something similar #MSWL

I love the idea of seeing how people survive in a crisis of epic proportions and potentially of our own making #mswl

It's pretty quiet today at @bookendslit (okay it's dead), so I think today would be good for some #MSWL In this #thread and throughout the day.

Having just finished reading Dry by Neal Shusterman & Jarrod Shusterman I am obsessed with finding something similar with an adult perspective (YA versions should go to @TracyMarchini ) #MSWL

It’s a little early...but The Sandlot will be 30 years old in 2023. Putting out a #MSWL for a book about the making and cultural significance of that movie
