The last five days of my life were mostly drama and fear, but things are looking up. I still need cheering up, nonetheless, so my #MSWL for now is: YA friendship stories, YA romance, YA rom coms, YA boarding school books, YA hijinks, YA "All American" show TV like soap opera.

i have SO many incredible queries in my inbox and i'm reading from my couch so keep 'em coming! some of my #MSWL : heartwarming YA w/ mixed-race families, gorgeous essay collections on queerness/sex/sexuality, and adult fic w/ a protagonist of color figuring out their early 20s

Real talk - I would be into something in my inbox for kids or teens that, if not actively advocating for prison abolition, seriously treats it as an option and a pathway. Fiction or nonfiction. MG or YA. #mswl

#MSWL YA or MG with an magical atmospheric setting that almost is like a character

#MSWL for a Anne and Gilbert level chemistry romance in YA with all kinds of friends and shenanigans:

#MSWL I am actively looking for YA or MG horror novels that are campy and full of tropes.

Listening to @yourewrongabout and my new #MSWL is a 1960s YA about teen girls forming a babysitters' union

A few misc #MSWL items

-MG that's spooky and lovely
-YA LatinX RomCom
-Adult thriller with a BIG hook
-Adult space horror

SAME! #MSWL

Swoon worthy YA rom coms a la THE GRAVITY OF US or WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI #mswl

where is my YA indiana jones re-telling that has our mc taking cultural artifacts back from museums and returning them to their countries of origin? minus nazis, plus more kissing #mswl

I ❤️ BROADCHURCH. How did I miss this when it first came out?? It's so good! A YA mystery with that level of ensemble and such brilliant handling of suspects (I truly never know who it is until the 🤯🤯🤯 ending) would be fantastic. Bonus for tight-knit community 💣. #MSWL

✨exactly✨ what my dream down-and-out YA heroine would do before her grand climactic moment #mswl

This is actually like the top of my #MSWL; I love retellings and would love to see more that include characters from marginalized backgrounds (and that holds true from PB through YA for me) #askDVPit

Okay! One more to close out the night, and this one is YA horror. This one I love because it's definitely 1, Welcome to Night Vale vibes, which is completely #MSWL for me. And 2, it makes me LAUGH. My sense of humour is... a little shy... but this book nails it.

Yes A MILLION TIMES YES #mswl

p l e a s e! Fun, saucy, self-referential mystery with pointed social commentary🙏🏼 #mswl

So, following up on my last tweet, an #mswl for bratty, sarcastic, nitpicky, competitive siblings who love the heck out of one another. #ya

I too would like this. #MSWL
