#BirdsOfPrey was SO GOOD. Like it was colorful and gay and like the most Harley Quinn and i can’t wait to see it fifty billion more times. Walked out of the theater feeling like a badass 🔥💕❤️YEP #BirdsofPrey graciously returned back every minute of my life stolen by Suicide Squad, and then some!
Holy crap, that was PURE DELIGHT. I flipped out, laughed, teared up... go watch and while I’m at it #MSWL!!!

More #MSWL: YA with "high stakes" low stakes a la Sally Rooney with a relationship that is so emotionally charged that one text or e-mail might just mean the end of the world. Across all genres, not just contemporary!

My Friday #mswl: a story with an "Arrival"-like twist that unfurls across many layers rather than pulls the rug out from under youHuzzah #MSWL day! I'm still yearning for this speculative, twisty YA, something ambitious in scope and structure that doesn't forsake emotions or characters.

A brief review of #TheHauntingofHillHouse:BF: I'm so thirsty but I'm too scared to go get a glass of water. Will you go with me?
Me: Drink your spit.

Related #mswl: Give me a ghost story that breaks my heart while scaring my socks off. Part of why #TheHauntingofHillHouse is deeply terrifying is because we care so much about the Crains.

#PEASPROUTCHEN MAKES @HornBook's LIST OF STRANGE AND MAGICAL MIDDLE-GRADEIn truth, PEASPROUT is a fantasy with no actual magic, but it makes up for that in strangeness because, let’s face it, that’s me. Congrats @wenmass @rebstead @EMentior @Hey_buster tinyurl.com/yawjvtyp
@HornBook says #PeasproutChen by @HenryLienAuthor "dazzles" and includes it on a roundup of strange and magical middle-grade!
Also, "strange and magical" is my #mswl forever.

#mswl: be it contemp, fantasy, sci-fi, let's see sex positivity.
Give me a character whose sexual feelings are a crucial part of but not the entirety of her identity. I want characters who enjoy sex bc hey it feels good & sex scenes that don't necessarily have emotional import!

#mswl MG a la PAN'S LABYRINTH--layered fairytale that doesn't flinch from reality, finds the light in the darkness. Fascist stomping a plus.For #MSWL, still looking for this MG fantasy to crack my heart open! And maybe stomp fascists.
