@gaileyfrey I forget where on the internet I saw this, but someone once told an anecdote about their little brother learning that baby teeth fall out and adult ones grow in and then asking, "when do your baby eyes fall out?" The thought of baby eyes has HAUNTED me ever since.
Replying to @jruoxichen

Sidebar: someone write me an sf/f story where your baby eyes falling out is a rite of initiation that presages the loss of innocence and the onset of true eyes and true Sight. Happy nightmares, everyone. #MSWL

I saw @shapeofwater last night, and as I sat in the theater, enraptured, I realized I wanted to read as many books as possible with that kind of incredible storytelling and perfectly executed magical realism. (YA and adult!) #MSWL

I'd love to see some #YA #Christian #Fantasy along the lines of C.S. Lewis, Donita K. Paul, and my ever adored Lloyd Alexander. Dragons welcome. Angels, demons, werewolves, vampires, and the like not so welcome. #mswl

Someone please write me a book (I’m thinking MG) that makes me feel the same things as listening to “Through Heaven’s Eyes” from Prince of Egypt and “Where You Are” from Moana. #mswl

Expanding the YA spectrum to include older main characters and college experiences can be super beneficial to readers.

Not only teens read YA. Also, personal growth and education doesn't stop by merely applying for college.

This 1000%. This age is such a pivotal, complicated, transformative time and as a college reader I desperately wanted (and still want!) more books that capture that #MSWL.

All the ingredients for compelling MG or YA:
1. The setup is weird yet real.
2. Characters are dealing with very specific stakes.
3. Identity-related q's for miles.
4. So much conflict potential. What happens when cute classmate asks where you live?!?!

1-4 can be applied much more broadly & that's the real #mswl takeaway here, but also please treat yourself to reading about this bizarre situation & these people who are both sympathetic and clearly papering over a whole lot of their issues.
