THE LITTLE MERMAID meets THE VILLAGE where the mermaids are the monsters terrorizing the island. #MSWL

I sooo want to read stories with characters like these. #MSWL

So I will add to this that if you do space pirates, I want space mermaids. Space should be treated like the sea. #MSWL

Scandal, but in high school #MSWL

Character driven fantasy. Something that feels new and different from everything else out there. #MSWL

I still need my witch book. But I am thinking less fantasy, more grounded low-fantasy. So CHARMED or PRACTICAL MAGIC. #MSWL

A twisty pyschological thriller. I just devoured BEFORE I LET GO by @mariekeyn. And I love @kitfrick and @MindyMcGinnis. So these are my gold standard. #MSWL #YA

I'd love to see a book set in the first semester of freshman year in college, that really examines the coming of age that happens when you leave the nest for the first time. #MSWL #YA

I started reading NICE TRY, JANE SIMMER and now I want something in the same vein. #MSWL

#MSWL hasn't really changed...

#MSWL (children's ch books ages 7-9 cont...) Maybe the boy doesn't shrink, the bugs get bigger? Also, MYTHICAL MONSTER series: boys adventuring w/creatures like big foot, Lochness, Yeti, Whatever the angle, commercial concept: stories w/animals, underwater adv, princesses, etc.

#MSWL children's chapter books ages 7-9 (with a series in mind), very boy- or girl-centric. For Boys: Maybe something about a boy who considers himself a "Bugologist" & shrinks down to bug size to go on adventures. For girls: A story about a magical doll house that comes to life?

After a discussion about hummus yesterday that led me to use the phrase "hummus in my tummus" I'm really wanting to see picture books with playful words like this. #mswl

#mswl I'm still looking for my Donner Party retelling! I think would YA would be kick-ass, but adult Donner Party retellings are also 💯.

#mswl I'd love to see a wildfire story. I'm equal opportunity on the setting -- campers/hikers? Surburanites? I want to see survival and moving on. Also, I'm from CA, so wildfires affecting urban settings is something I'm used to seeing (alas).

I really want to work on a darkly humorous Baba Yaga story. That’s all I ask. #MSWL

I absolutely believe you can write deep, thoughtful sci-fi and fantasy with lovable characters and a happy ending. Exhibit 1: Terry Pratchett. #mswl

Real life is stranger than #fiction. Here's an example of #TrueCrime and #thriller that I’d love to see! #MSWL - Woman accused of poisoning lookalike with cheesecake, stealing her identity - Fox News apple.news/AmFKIp4-1TpCf7…
