Have I mentioned my ongoing love for slow-burning romance and mutual pining? #mswl

Patricia Nelson @patricianels

Hungry for YA contemporary with a strong, jump-off-the-page voice & a fresh perspective that makes me cry or laugh out loud. Or both! #mswl

Literally always! #mswl

#MSWL: YA with the wistfulness and delicate, complex ensemble friendships of Ichigo Takano's ORANGE, which I am finally reading and ~loving~

Stephanie Stein @stephlystein

Which reminds me... bring me ALL your f/f YA romance and bi MCs! (And tween girls discovering first crushes on girls, too!) #MSWL twitter.com/MissDahlELama/…

I am so here for fun, funny, light-hearted romcoms with girls crushing on girls, for fantasy, for high concepts... you get the idea #MSWL

Dahlia Adler @MissDahlELama

@findmereading @ms_lilyanderson Part of that is what the f/f stories *are*. We're getting great and critically lauded ones but still by and large Serious Contemp.

Which reminds me... bring me ALL your f/f YA romance and bi MCs! (And tween girls discovering first crushes on girls, too!) #MSWL

Yes! Always looking for more hopeful, joyful, celebratory representation. #MSWL

Really dying for more contemporary MG--friendship drama, multi-gen family stories, LGBTQ tweens... hit me up! #MSWL

Leon Husock @LeonHusock

#MSWL I'm always up for a good YA Shakespeare adaptation. Not just the tragedies, either. Comedies, even histories are good.

This tends to result in so much witty banter, which I am HERE FOR. Seconded. #MSWL

Tiffany Liao @Tiff_Liao

My Friday #mswl: a story with an "Arrival"-like twist that unfurls across many layers rather than pulls the rug out from under you

Dear @Tiff_Liao, I'm totally stealing this genius #mswl. Yes!

Laura Crockett ☕️ @LECrockett

I'd love more friendship, summery YA to hit my inbox. Think Jenny Han, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Robin Constantine, Dessen, Rowell, Matson #mswl

YA BFFs are always on my #MSWL. Friendships forged between teen girls are so powerful, complex, and fun.

Rebecca Podos @RebeccaPodos

Or a YA novel, ASAP 💖 twitter.com/itzzkait/statu…

Yes, please. #MSWL

Emily S. Keyes @esc_key

A YA or MG about a kid opposing the school board or local official. Maybe about banned books. And family supporting him/her. #MSWL

Yes! Activist kids. <3 #MSWL

Brooks Sherman @byobrooks

My fave recent middle-grade read was @AdamGidwitz's THE INQUISITOR'S TALE: fascinating historical setting, innovative narrative voice! #mswl

Replying to @byobrooks

Literally just mentioned this in my last #MSWL tweet! *grabby hands*

· 8 Feb 2017

Would love to find more outrageously funny, very present narrators. Think Gidwitz, Snicket... but also things like Jane the Virgin. #MSWL

Funny

#MSWL - realistic middle grade; bonus points for bittersweet stories, ones that make you laugh & cry & laugh & cry. petejknapp.com/post/155643281… pic.twitter.com/n075lVYYAh

.@petejknapp, are you me? Cosigned! #MSWL

Would love more contemporary/realistic novels set outside North America. YA and MG! #MSWL

With @TeenVogue on this one! #MSWL teenvogue.com/story/reasons-…

Bridget Smith @bredalot

The thing I want most right now is f/f contemporary YA that's funny, poignant, warm, & layered, a la Emma Mills. Esp. #ownvoices. #MSWL

Yes, pleeeeeaaaaaaase! #MSWL
