Am I at all surprised that a tweet in which I show myself to be essentially the clumsy protagonist of a religion-themed gay rom-com is likely to be my most popular tweet of 2019?

I am not. twitter.com/revdaniel/stat…

The Ripped Bodice @TheRippedBodice

If I'm being completely honest the romance novel I most want to read right now is one about editors @bonappetit falling in love in the test kitchen

Me too @TheRippedBodice, me too. #MSWL

Until then, I'll reread A SWEET MESS which is a very close comp.

Do Black writers know that everything we create doesn’t have to be about our trauma? I don’t wanna see another get out the hood, police brutality, abusive relationship, segregation, or slavery story. We deal with that shit every day. TF I WANNA WATCH THAT IN MY FREE TIME FOR

This is why I keep asking for the stories that feature POC and more specifically black teens and adults in happy situations like falling in love, figuring out who they are, having great friendships because the world is already hard enough for us as it is. #MSWL

POC

Rewatching Witches of East End. I love the Killian/Freya/Dash love triangle, the curse on Ingrid and Freya, and the family dynamics between the Beauchamp women.

As always, I want contemporary witches in my inbox, and I wouldn't complain if they had any of these plotlines. #MSWL

Call me when you all are ready to add soft girls who are determined and super feminine to the list of strong female characters when putting together book lists.

sappho panic 💖💜💙 @leneeh4

unpopular opinion but slow burn friendships are just as valid as slow burn romance. like, gimme the reluctant characters who are like "i don't need anyone" but ends up with a best friend they never asked for but would die for in a heartbeat. that becomes the grumpy aunt/uncle

Guess who's crying and shaking and just talked to Elizabeth Warren on the phone?!?!? We have a plan to get my mom grandkids, it's very comprehensive, and it does involve raising taxes on billionaires.

Someone write me a rom com! #MSWL

Take all your frustration with S8 of #GoT and channel it into writing a beautiful and detailed epic fantasy full of people of color and female complexity that doesn’t hinge on sexual violence. Then send it to me. #mswl

I want to read more stories about ‘cousins’. I’m so many non-western cultures your cousins are as close to you as your siblings. And it’s such a nice community that I never see in YA.

#MSWL As an only child my cousins were my siblings especially since we lived with my grandmother for a period of time.

SEND ME YOUR FRIENDSHIP BREAKUP BOOKS. Middle school, high school, even (dare I say) early college! In my own life, friendship breakups have always been so much more significant/traumatic than the romantic ones. Would love to see it in my inbox! #MSWL pic.twitter.com/wTHruL3Dm7

I will forever want this. Someone finally give it to me. #MSWL

It’s called FREE SHIPPING.
