Anything about language, whether that's visual (I once saw an internet thing where the animals were made out of Arabic script 🤯) or a plot thing (about an English language learner? About... spelling???? 👀) or a nonfiction thing (hello emojis). #mswl

“I’m 81 years old, and I’ve been a zoologist since my 20s. My whole concept of the animal kingdom would crash with this ctenophores-first idea." nyti.ms/2yDBU5VThis is EXACTLY my nonfiction #MSWL
Books about evolution and weird animals? Yes, please

#mswl - I would love to see a trade NF book exploring antarctica and climate change. (This idea is not fully formed, so bear with me...) So like, why protecting antarctica is important, who "owns" antarctica, what is actually physically present (animals, research stations, etc)..
