I'm reading Circe by Madeline Miller right now and loving the hell out of it. Witches and gods and monsters and mortals... Feminist retellings of classic mythology is the BEST genre. Yeah, I just made it a genre of it's own. And every bookstore should have a section for it.Let’s do this 👇🏽 #mswl

and lastly (for now), on my #MSWL, I'd love to see a spooky, modern retelling of any of the classical Mythology stories set in the PNW. Think Lizzie Bennet Diaries, but with creepy mythology characters instead. (please, someone, give me this, I NEED IT)

Am listening to the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack and now I would really like a Jane Austen retelling. Fresh, modern, swoonworthy, I am here for all of it. #MSWL

Thanks to @whitleyabell, I'm now dying for a fantastical YA Harley Quinn retelling. #MSWL Someone send me this, please! pic.twitter.com/pcDbDtMedYShe's pretty badass, right? #MSWL It fits, and I still want! twitter.com/YAFantasyFan/s…

If you have a super cool new twist on a retelling like Alexa Donne's BRIGHTLY BURNING (except for adults), I wanna see it! #MSWL

#MSWL still looking for my gender-swapped Hercules retelling (or LGBT+ Hercules!). Also still on the hunt for a great underwater escapade, perhaps mermaids (creepy or complicated, not typical-disney feel) but not mandatory.

Would love a Polish historical or Polish-inspired fantasy. a retelling of Prince Krakus and the dragon or Princess Wanda, featuring Poludnica, Lakanica, and other myths 💫 #MSWL

tbh i’m dying to read about a heroine with this much self-confidence #mswl twitter.com/eleanorkh/stat…In fact I'd love to see a genderbent Julius Caesar retelling in the vein of My Lady Jane. #MSWL

All joking aside, I never actually wanted to make out with a person's voice until I heard Brendon Urie sing for the first time. Would love an #ownvoices retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac with three cute boys and a high school musical. #MSWL #LGBT

#mswl I'd love to see a wildfire story. I'm equal opportunity on the setting -- campers/hikers? Surburanites? I want to see survival and moving on. Also, I'm from CA, so wildfires affecting urban settings is something I'm used to seeing (alas).#mswl I'm still looking for my Donner Party retelling! I think would YA would be kick-ass, but adult Donner Party retellings are also 💯.

#MSWL for YA:
~ a FAUST retelling
~ a plot that brings to mind Ibsen's AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE
~ Grumpy antiheroes who can't seem to be evil (despite how they try) / humor is a plus!

I would love a modern YA Samson and Delilah, any genre. I'd also love an M/M historical, modern, or fantasy retelling of David and Jonathan #MSWL
