Really loving Mallory Ortberg's turn as Dear Prudence. Which reminds me: would love to see a YA with a similar sense of humor. #MSWL

Still dying for a YA that's fierce and feminist and a little bit (a lot) angry. Have been reminded of that nearly every day this year. #MSWL

YA that plays w/ structure/perspective/other aspects of storytelling in unique, outside-the-box, compelling (but non-gimmicky) ways. #MSWLThis is my favorite thing! (Coming from someone who did their college thesis on frame stories...) #mswl

A deeply romantic magical realism YA. #MSWLSame. Have always wanted one of those fanfic soulmate AUs in YA novel form. #MSWL

Vivid settings, where time/place are so rich & realized, they almost feel like a character. I want to feel as if I've traveled there. #MSWLSo much this. Especially a setting we don't see often. #MSWL twitter.com/molly_oneill/sβ¦

Last one before I get some lunch: I will never not want YA romance with pining. Bring me longing, angst, friends who fall in love! #MSWL

Editor
More middle grade in general. Not necessarily a huge adventure, just heart, voice, a touch of humor. (So, the holy grail.) #MSWL

Editor
A lyrical, bittersweet high-school romance that ends--because most of them do!--and the characters get through it okay in the end. #MSWL

While I wait for this lunch meeting to start: I want all the epic YA fantasy with intersectional diversity and #ownvoices. #MSWLI will keep RTing variations on this #MSWL forever, and it will always be true!

Contemporary YA with a big, crazy, sweeping plot. Think Where'd You Go, Bernadette for teens. #MSWL
