Dying to fall for a high-concept, unputdownable contemporary. Give me super strong voice. Some kind of mystery to be solved. Dynamic character relationships. #mswl

#MSWL I need a book about a little girl who struggles to keep her bonnet on her head as she sleeps...especially if she’s a wild sleeper. The struggle is real.

#MSWL:
Take a society whose economy, development, and peace are necessarily and realistically built on a foundation of cruelty and injustice.

Some characters fight to right these wrongs. The fall of the old world order visits immense suffering on other oppressed innocents.

Go.

Always always on the hunt for diverse, creative contemporary YA that can capture the humor, heart, and playfulness of anime. 💖

Bonus if the story involves friends sharing their passions (geeky or not) or has some delicious food. #mswl
