The emperor woke when a hand was placed over his mouth."I evaded all your guards," the assassin whispered, "and outwitted all your traps."
The emperor nodded, and the assassin took a step back.
"Is it five three?" the emperor asked
"Yes, I've won five. Let's swap clothes now."

I get upset about the idea of a book being “too quiet” because of seemingly small stakes.That internal journey is such a part of being a teenager. That’s your audience.
Yes fight The Citadel in the Battle of the Wars, but also maybe get books about panicking over first kisses.

There are a few book-shaped hills I'm going to die on this year:1. Fighting for "quiet" books with personal stakes.
2. Yelling about the sequels by @RantingOwl and @cindypon. Support these series!
3. Asking for more "fluffy" contemporary stories with marginalized characters.
I love my fluffy books, I want more books-that-feel-like-hugs that my son can grow up and see himself in. #MSWL

Mind blown. Can someone please write a historical YA about a girl at the height of society who has, like, the BEST jewelry collection ever but is actually secretly hoarding jewelry so she can make her escape from the patriarchy?? #MSWL twitter.com/o_waite/status…OMG me this so I can love it forever #MSWL

Just an evening reminder that jewelry was a traditional gift demanded by women not because we’re frivolous magpies but because we weren’t permitted to have bank accounts in many times and places and needed shit we could sell for cash in a pinch.Mind blown.

YES. Where’s those horror manuscripts at?! Not the slasher/gruesome ones though... Think more Bird Box, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, etc... #mswl

I’d love a memoir from a queer person from a red state. What’s it like to build community and your identity in that environment? #mswl

I really want to see more contemporary romance in my inbox, especially one set during a baking competition 😍 #mswl (but please send any contemporary romances my way!!)

This is my plane read. Barely started and I already have so many #MSWL thoughts. The Ndongo state was believed you be founded by a "skilled blacksmith" who could talk to a god. Where is that story?
