YA contemporary! I’m dying for a queer story revolving, especially one revolving around mental health. I want unique concepts and HIGH STAKES and lots of conflict. I tend to be drawn to more melancholy tones in contemporary—but adore humor and light sprinkled throughout!

During the Renaissance, Giulia Tofana created a poison disguised as women’s makeup. Hundreds of women used it to poison their husband and become widows. SCHOOLS opened to allow women to learn how to kill their shitty husbands. twitter.com/yogioabs/statu…

Her other book, THE AGE OF MIRACLES, is similarly dazzling.This is top of the list for things I’d love to see in my inbox for ‘20: sci-fi that puts the SFF elements as the backdrop for telling stories about humanity. #MSWL
For instance...
TAOM is a teen coming-of-age story—but the Earth’s rotation is slowing. In THE DREAMERS, shifting family dynamics are painted on the canvas of a town quarantined bc of a sleeping sickness.
Kind of TWILIGHT ZONE? BLACK MIRROR? THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES?
Send me this please. #MSWL

I think my favorite read of 2019 (so far) was THE DREAMERS by @KThompsonWalker. The lyrical way she writes sci-fi makes her writing feel like a song, or a dream. I haven’t stopped thinking about this hypnotic book all year.What was your favorite book you read this year?

What does it mean to be “canceled” in high school? For teens, it can be a joke — or a label that haunts them for years.#MSWL A book about a teen who gets canceled
