Today @jcon713 told @Jorjorbiinks and I that we were dressed like two Victorian women out to solve a murder, which A) is how I would like my clothing aesthetic to be described forevermore, and B) Uhhhhh... #MSWL

What I absolutely love about this trend of Tidying Up, Queer Eye, and Great British Bake Off is that it moves us away from cynicism and cutting people down into a mode of kindness, support, and lifting each other up. So so much more of this moving forward please.This is a big #MSWL mood for me in 2019! Let’s have some warmth, hope, and good genuine fun.

I wanna bring back all knowing narrative voices bc I love how extra it is. It's like the book was specifically being written for you and the person telling the story feels like a character too. When the reader is addressed I just love that shitI LOVE implicating the reader in the story. Fuck ‘em up, writers, give readers no choice but to FEEL THINGS. #MSWL

Also, this is the first time I've articulated this, but one of my favorite books—and movies—is Call Me By Your Name. (Rereading the book last year was one of my greatest joys of 2018.) Boy, what I would give to find a coming-of-age and romance with that same pull. ❤️❤️❤️ #MSWLOne last #MSWL thought: a modern-day Amélie. Here's hoping, universe! 🌹

But also, I am still so hungry to find terrific, hooky, voice-driven contemporary/realistic. Am especially hungry from those told from POVs I don't already intimately know already. I want to be surprised!And please, my greatest and most everlasting and true #MSWL is to find an epistolary novel in the tradition (or not? — surprise me!) of I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith (my favorite book of all time) or the Montmaray Journals by Michelle Cooper. 🖊️🖊️🖊️

The bravest books about faith IMHO don't demand a certain response or conclusion from their readers, but instead give *the very questions themselves* to teens, then honor/respect the ways in which young people grapple/wrestle/engage with them & make space for answers that emerge.YA about religion and faith is on my permanent #mswl because faith and growing up are both about Big Questions—finding them, answering them (or not), and living anyway.
