For my kids 18th, we take them to a city with friends and let them explore. Yesterday, spent the day in NYC with my daughter while my son roamed with his boys.

Happy inaugural #mswl day to all who are #writing and #querying! I’m a literary agent looking for adult fiction and nonfiction. You’ll find my full #mswl profile here, www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/la..., and below is a snapshot of what I'd love to represent this year.

5th Book of the Year: This is Strategy by Seth Godin
So, I must confess, I'm a Godin-ite. I've read every book he's written. This one felt like a summary of his ideas in a lot of ways. It reads like a daily devotional. I'd recommend reading it slow, a few passages a day.

4th Book of the year: Solar Lottery by Philip K Dick
It was amazing. It's a huge epic with all the PKD futurist weird bits. I love how PKD does world building. He doesn't explain anything until he absolutely has to and then only in context of a scene. And even though its sci-fi, its all dialogue.

Neural experiment. Secret island.
Billionaire Ashlynn wanted empathy, not murder. Now her brain’s hijacked. Only Dr. Fields—the man she’s falling for—can help. But is he savior or villain?
Love/terror clash as every thought turns deadly.

Those that know me, know that Dr. King is my personal hero and I wrestle deeply with his teachings. I hope you will grapple with him as well this week. Most of us have heard "I Have a Dream." Here are some of my favorites in this thread (?) Jet Stream (?) Chemtrail (?) (not sure what to call it).

3rd Book of 2025: Joyful Recollections of Trauma by @paulscheer.com
Great engaging memoir. Do the audio book because there are extras from the podcast. Both funny and heart warming. A great picture of a person who survived and came out the other end of trauma evolved and smiling. Super recommend.

2nd Book of 2025: Rejection by @tonytula.com
This book is a collection of short stories from different POVs. Sexual content is a hard R (and not the fun kind). It's the best ending of a book I've read in a long time and the POV voices are amazing. I really recommend this one for every writer.

1st Book of 2025: Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar
Loved the writing. Beautifully built book. The transition between POVs was great. Didn't love the main character. He was tough to read.
