What are some things you’d like to see more of in books? It can be ANYTHING. some of mine:- non-binary folks
- bi men
- Black joy
- journey w an animal guide
- less romance
- intergenerational/generational storytelling
- Villain protagonist
- Black thrillers
- elder mc
I'd love to see:
✨ NF pop culture/geeky books from non-white authors
✨ BIPOC & POC fans being passionate & creative
✨ Positive, playful LGBTQA+ rom-coms
✨ Soft, beautiful, powerful friendships
✨ More empowering, playful, joyful stories with BIPOC & POC MCs

Do you think we'll ever get a Desi YA anthology???? Because I want one. And I am also available to write in one *hint hint*I've been asking for this for two years!!! An anthology with separate stories or one like Let It Snow where it all culminates together at the end. #MSWL

How Things Work @Chemistryvid
To defend against wasps, bees create a defense wave known as shimmering. Participating bees need to respond with perfect timing when it's their turn to shimmer. It’s unclear why wasps are intimidated by shimmering, pic.twitter.com/wCSGYG0zntSomeone feature this gloriously strange bee fact in a novel! It seems like something straight out of science fiction. #MSWL

The first enemies-to-lovers was Epic of Gilgamesh, 1800 BC out of Mesopotamia. The next person who claims a YA white person invented the trope will have dishonor on their family and cow.CORRECT, AND I AM STILL WAITING FOR MY YA RETELLING, OK? #mswl
