Oh, and very big on my #mswl as I await cooler weather: YA and MG that feels somehow autumnal! Give me book-form crispy leaves and spiced cider (spiked or not), please. I love good, cozy stories.

I'm extremely inspired by Greta Thunberg, and if you happen to have a character like her save the world, I think we could all use that about now. #MSWL

YA Count of Monte Cristo--I love the intricacy of the plot and also justice stories with excellent character arcs.

(And I don't like the movie. Just the book.)

Disclaimer: I'm not a great fit for Fae/Fairie, Elves, or Werewolves. Just not my cup of tea (probably odd ogres or trolls in there, too). #MSWL

And again, I'm calling for mermaids! Creepy, creature mermaids and sirens. Darkness. I'm not talking Disney here. I wanna see the grit and the turmoil from the beings sailors once feared #MSWL

Still looking for an Adult contemporary with a therapy group for those who fake being kidnapped by aliens... only to have one member disappear and spark conspiracies 😉 if y'all don't write it, I might have to myself #MSWL

Can I please have modern witches? I mean, witches who are living their lives, drinking tea, wearing certain gemstones for certain qualities, hanging herbs in the kitchen, concocting healing spells and ones that help you not fall asleep in exams. Modernize! #MSWL

More #MSWL: YA with "high stakes" low stakes a la Sally Rooney with a relationship that is so emotionally charged that one text or e-mail might just mean the end of the world. Across all genres, not just contemporary!

Unlikely pairings for YA rom coms, please. Give us the couple no one expects will get together, and then make them happier than everyone (even if it takes awhile to get there). #MSWL

You know what? I want a medieval mystery (series?) where the MC is a justice of assize or a coroner or an escheator or (even better!!!) the wife of one of those guys #MSWL

I want Urban Fantasy with myths and legends based far out of the usual commercial scope. Give me South American creatures, the Philippines, Eastern Island, New Zealand. What's the boogeyman there? I want to know! #MSWL

Psychology works with a clear focus, accessible language, and a narrative component, like Cringeworthy: A Theory of Awkwardness, would be of great interest to me, too. #MSWL

I'd like to see characters living alternate lifestyles in the way of homesteads, tiny homes, vanlife, foreign exchange, extended backpacking trip, etc., preferably from authors or illustrators who have done so #MSWL

I'm open to vampires! You've just got to give me something different, unique, with a wonderful plot or setting. Still thinking there's so much we can do with New Orleans POC vamps or vamps in island regions.

Also would love vamps with the humor of What We Do In The Shadows #MSWL
