This has been on my #MSWL for a while but I want to put it out there again: I'd love to find the next Brian Selznick-type of creator who tells grand, intricate stories in a hybrid format of illustrations/text. ✨

I would read the hell out of a novel about a bunch of grown up emo kids on one of these cruises, and the hijinx that ensue. #MSWL

An evergreen #MSWL: send me the YA or NA romance novel version of Hayley Kiyoko's "What I Need," please and thanks

#MSWL I’d love to represent a nonfiction book on this topic

“High stakes heists, with interesting complicated criminals and the heat of the chase – thrill me! Something like the adult version of DEATH PREFERS BLONDES.” @maureen_moretti #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

So apparently, View Park-Windsor Hills, CA has one of the largest communities of middle- and upper-class African Americans.

Um hi, can someone write this book for me to read? Is the world ready for a bougie black family drama? Am I adding this to my #MSWL?! 🤗🤗

BUT I did love DON'T DATE ROSA SANTOS and would love to find more books in @Nina_Writes and @LauraTNamey wheelhouse. I want an author in their squad if I was to form an author squad for them. (this will make no sense to anyone but me). #MSWL

Serpent & Dove is an honorable mention for the #MSWL for the genre mash-up. What I think is unique here is that there were alot of romance genre tropes and beats. I would love to see that approach done again.

A TREASON OF THORNS was so atmospheric. I just loved the ambiance of that book. #MSWL

I loved the grounded fantasy of THE MERCIFUL CROW. It dealt with alot of issues, and had alot of themes working for it. #MSWL

I would love a dystopian that is smart and 2019 like THE GRACE YEAR. #MSWL

Writing wise, I feel like THE GRACE YEAR, THE MERCILESS CROW, and A TREASON OF THORNS definitely captured the style I love the best. So writing #MSWL there.

So here are my #MSWL from last weekend's holiday book read, with honorable mention to Serpent & Dove. Let me break it down below.

Omg YA #mswl 😍

"Quirky cookbooks that explore topics that are hard to find in the bookstore, or haven't been explored at all. Odd, single subject books tend to grab me quickly. If you think your project is too niche, I might be right for you." @ericsmithrocks #MSWL ericsmithrocks.com/mswl

It's Monday; you know what that means...Time for another #MSWL! Liza would love to see a book (fiction or nonfiction) having to do with Korea, in the same vein as FOOD FOR MILLIONAIRES by Min Jin Lee.

Romcom #mswl please thanks

My #MSWL part 6: I want all the MG!!! Give me cute & quirky, spooky, mysterious, funny, adventurous, magical--you name it. Probably not all in the same book, though. Show me familiar done with a different twist or something new. I want UNIQUE!!! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

My #MSWL part 5: In YA, I'd also love some creepy, scary, dark horror. This might surprise you, but I want something UNIQUE. Show me how your story is different from the rest. Give me goose bumps and keep me up at night!!! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

My #MSWL part 4: In YA, I'd love issue books that don't feel like issue books--it's a part of the story but not the main plot. Again, I'm looking for UNIQUE. I've seen a lot of stories about coming out and mental health. Give me something different! #WritingCommunity #amquerying
