This week's topic was too fun to pass up!
Basically, the prompt asks us to create a "Love List" for our books or works-in-progress. What exactly is a Love List? Well, it's a simple collection of words and phrases that sparked the creation of a story. (The one and only Stephanie Perkins explains it all in this blog post.)
So here's my own Love List for my YA alternate history, ANOMALY...
A lonely girl
A humble, handsome boy
Shenandoah hills
Secret superpowers
Secret allies?
Revolution
A bead of blood
Brick-and-marble cities
Soldiers, scrambling
Gunfire
The capital, burning
A treetop kiss
Pale eyes, opening
And to steal an idea from Tracey Neithercott and Erin Bowman, I've also included a few images that hopefully capture what ANOMALY is about.

How about you? Do you have a Love List for your novel? If so, what's on it?
Do spill!
