A fun sporty YA that has friendships, drama, humour and heart with lots of scope for brilliant characters - like two rival cheer teams competing for a national title with a stunning tropey romance running in the background (best friends brother etc.)...

My quite specific #MSWL, via film & TV that I love - a thread.

A coming of age story (could be either YA or Adult) that's set in a specific era or place and centred on a particular 'thing' the MC loves or has to overcome - like an 11yo boy in 1980's Durham who, against all odds, wants to be a ballet dancer...

Been thinking I'd love an MG or a YA book with "empathy" at its heart as a theme. Not looking for preachy or lessons, just that as its core heart. #MSWL

Pondering my current #mswl. I’d still love to see some high-concept YA romance (if queer then all the better) that addresses the climate crisis… ecological, possibly international, could be a version of our world, could be fantasy?

#MSWL: a YA novel that vibe-comps to Teenage Dirtbag (the song)

I want an amusement park YA book. Not saying **cough cough** Disney, but if Disney inspired the shenangians, okay. #MSWL

I want a YA that feels different from what we are seeing right now. Mix Genres, play with tropes, be inventive in your structure #MSWL

I rep PB, MG, YA, GN, and select A genres. I keep my MSWL fairly up-to-date. There are a few areas that I'd love to build my list our more robustly in the coming months. #MSWL

Good time as any that I am looking for YA and Adult fiction, with an emphasis on Contemporary, Romance (but not necessarily rom-coms), and Horror! #mswl I want funny, sharp, and dark wit the most :)

A thread of recent faves in next tweet!
