Also this. #MSWL

OMG how could I forget the thing I am known for??

Mermaids.

Predators of the deep. Soft mermaids who never go in the water.

Give me mermaids, please! #MSWL #YA #MG

Also, I really was not a fan of being first gen as a kid. I kind of push backed on German culture because I wanted to fit in with my peers. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but MG and #ownvoices for your culture. Because sometimes it is hard being caught between two worlds. #MSWL

In middle grade, I tend to be picky on the voice, but give me entrepreneurial kids. Running a slime ring out of the bathroom? Yeah, I want that. Kid focused business.

I will add if any of these tweets strike your fancy and you do graphic novels, they apply there. Want to give me a Spice Girls friendship breakup book in graphic novels? Hell yes. Want to give me Anne and Gilbert in a graphic novel? Hell yes. #MSWL

In case it helps, here is a list of books that I wish I had acquired/repped: pinterest.com/nataschamorris…

#MSWL

biiiiiiiiiig #mswl

And also a friendship break book that also happens to be set in the 90s, and their friendship might be ending because the Spice Girls broke up. But you know... #MSWL #MG

At the end of the day, I want to surround myself in stories. And words that are beautifully written. With characters that feel real to me.

Which is what we all want. #MSWL

I'd love to get a retelling of Dostoyeksky's "The Double." Give me some creepy doppelganger action! #MSWL

I very much need Anne and Gilbert to happen #MSWL Calling out @LauraTNamey on this one. But you can never have to many.

And I need a soft Halloween/Fall/Cottagecore book. Cozy and sweater weather. #MSWL

I need a summer book that feels like this #MSWL:

This might be a good time to plug my visual #MSWL pinterest.com/nataschamorris…

In case you need inspiration in a different way. :)

And a Ren Faire book. Who do I have to find to give me a Ren Faire Book???? #MSWL

This one is really specific now, because someone told me what a con medic is and I cannot stop thinking about it.

For the love of all, someone give me a con medic book. #MSWL

I also love books about other cultures and identities! Honestly, kids being kids and joyful, but infused by their worlds is what it should be.

Show me your world! Let me connect with you! #MSWL

On the older side for nonfiction, I'd love nonfiction that was more than just what we currently have. I just read ATTACHED (so good) and I am thinking, wow if only I had read this as a kid. Where is the hip #YA NF that makes it cool to know about marketing, psychology, etc #MSWL

But I also want narrative nonfiction that isn't just biographies. I want to learn things about the world. Chemistry is cool! Also biology *while cool* can be gross and cool. #MSWL #PB

For picture books, I tend to lean towards a more commercial edge. And humor, with a heart of gold is 100% where my heart lies. #MSWL
