Quarantining gives one time to think. I’d love an epic matzah-finding Passover book. (Why I thought of this...no idea.) I want action. Clever silliness. Adventure. Would the four sons be involved? Who knows! A picture book of epic proportions...to find the elusive matzah. #mswl

I've been chasing the feeling of watching Hot Priest ask Fleabag what she's doing when she talks to us since I watched #Fleabag season 2 and nothing has come close pic.twitter.com/viyEjQvCo6

This will always be an #MSWL for me. The playfulness with form, the setting up of expectations only to blow them out to a new level, the sharp use of direct address through the fourth wall: this moment took this show from good to masterclass.

I’d love to find a poetry collection for young readers. Poetry holds such a special place in my heart and I think young readers need poetry now more than ever. #MSWL

All this chatter about a vampire (and werewolf) comeback. I have thoughts...

I like my supernatural, human-but-not characters. But I’d love some new takes—not the resurrecting of classics that worked the last time around. Let’s see new perspectives get a bite at that apple.

If a vampire comeback materializes, I’m just going to remind the world that this thread exists and is still on my #MSWL. Give me all the PoC vampires with messy family drama and historical traumas that won’t go away esp. since great-granny vamp is still salty about the Opium Wars

So you know how in every “I saw my future” plot the future’s either horrible or miserable and the protag has to do some soul searching to avoid it? #mswl where the future is GREAT but then one thing in the present happens differently and the character has to scramble to fix it
