#MSWL I'd love for The Chosen trope to be turned on its head. The protag has all the classic makings of The One but turns out they're not

Getting more specific on #MSWL: I'm a huge foodie/cook & would love a YA involving food or cooking competitions in some way.

#mswl I will forever want magical realism in MG, YA & women's fiction. Bonus if the magic is strongly rooted in a specific culture or place.
