Finished my 7th novella's draft, so how about I celebrate by.. bringing back #ASpecToZ ?
We're almost done!! No way I'm not closing out before the end of #PrideMonth. And today's letter is, *drumroll*, the X !
We have two entries :)

Claudie has also been doing a series of posts called #ASpecToZ that has a whole bunch of solid, additional recs to consider as well. 😄

Back to #ASpecToZ ! The letter for today is W, and I have two short and extremely good recommendations!

Time for an early morning #ASpecToZ, this time with the letter V!
Just one book again, and this time it's my debut ✨

U is for THE UNBALANCING by R. B. Lemberg
A bittersweet, beautiful adult fantasy for today! Lemberg and the Birdverse are autoreads for me by now--between the sweeping worldbuilding and the incredible queer neurodivergent characters, I always find something to love and reflect on.

T is for TWO DARK MOONS by Avi Silver
If the human living with a pack of giant, deadly lizards bites you and claims you as their partner, is that marriage of convenience? Asking for this book. :P Incredible YA fantasy with an allo aro MC, and a relationship explored and negatiated across cultural and aspec-ness differences. Book 2 is already out and just as good, too.

T is for THE THREAD THAT BINDS by Cedar McCloud
Luminous and cozy fantasy in a magical library, following three apprentices and their mentors. Includes so much craft goodness and tackles abusive relationship with a gentle touch. This series has my whole heart!!

T is for TESTING GROUND by E.H. Timms
Adult fantasy novella in which a disabled aroace war mage and hero returns to training camp under a secret identity. Increcible disability rep and complicated queer friendships!

Bringing back #AspecToZ on this pride eve, now with the letter T!!
This is a series where I recommend books with aro and/or ace characters, usually that I've read, going by the alphabet letters :D
I have three books today, so let's get cracking!

S is for THE SOUND OF STARS by Alechia Dow
Back to YA sci-fi and Alechia Dow's wonderful work with this alien invasion story starring a Black biromantic demisexual MC with a secret library. Also: alien/human roadtrip, lots of music and book nerdery, and an instance of two demisexual relating to each other through their aceness that was super well done.

S is for STAKE SAUCE by RoAnna Sylver
Disability + Queerness + Vampires? Yes please. In addition to the delightful "paranoid & traumatized vampire hunter finds out his noisy upstair neighbour is a pink, fuzzy vampire", STAKE SAUCE explores how 3 friends deal with trauma and grief and it has one of my favourite exploration of grayromanticism, esp. quoiromanticism.

S is for SECONDHAND ORIGIN STORIES by Lee Brontide
Free book? Free book! And it is an *incredible* one. SOS (nice anagram) is a YA about the children of famous superheroes, it's got an incredible queer (& often disabled) cast, and it's full of family secrets. HIGHLY recommend!

R is for REFUSING COMPULSORY SEXUALITY by Sherronda J. Brown
"A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex-Obsessed Culture". This is the only non-fiction on my list. I consider this a must read. It's cutting, it's well-documented, it taught me so much and changed the way I related to my aroaceness completely. Cannot recommend enough.

P is for (The) POPPY WAR by R. F. Kuang
I'll admit, I've not read this one yet!! I even own a physical copy. Anyway, THE POPPY WAR is a dark military fantasy w/ an aroace character and no romance, based on the 2nd sino-japanese war. I'm told to expect a lot of hard hitting feelings and gripping moments.

P is for (A) PROMISE BROKEN by S. L. Dove Cooper
One of the first indie fantasy novels I read, follows a 4 yr old dealing with grief and the thoroughly unprepared aroace uncle who must now care for her. The worldbuilding is gorgeous (and queer!), and this is the sort of slow, rich book you savour one page at a time.

P is for POISONED PRIMSORE by Dahlia Donovan
This is the first of a delightful cozy mystery series, Mott's Cold Case Mysteries, with an ace autistic MC who finds an unfortunate body in her newly-acquired cottage's garden. Nice to have an older MC for once!

Time for some new book recs! Can't just let #AspecToZ die out completely, COVID or no. ;)
Today's letter is P, and I have three books lined up!

O is for OUR BLOODY PEARL by D. N. Bryn
Get your fill of ace pirates and sirens in this fast-paced and sweet steampunk-ish fantasy, where a disabled siren learns to use a mechanical tail and regain a modicum of trust in (some) humans.

O is for THE OBSIDIAN TOWER by Melissa Caruso
The start of new epic fantasy series by a favourite author, with an biromantic ace MC and some juicy tropes: close-castle mystery, ancient family secrets, and a travelling troupe of spies! Pretty sure the third one's out now :D
-
Back with more #AspecToZ and the letter O today! Two books again, and boy did I *love* these two.

I is for Isandor
Listen, I get to bend the rules a bit all right. Especially for my main series <3
Isandor is a fantasy series of local politics and platonic love (messy friendships and mentors, family of blood and choice) all forming and breaking as residents try to defend the city and people they love from a ruthless empire and its allies within.

I is for (THE) ICE PRINCESS'S FAIR ILLUSION by Dove Cooper
An unique entry on this list, ILLUSION is a verse retelling of King Thrushbeard with two aspec sapphics in a queerplatonic. Touches on many aspects of asexuality and aromanticism--labels, attraction, boundaries and pressures, QPRs. ILLUSION is a beautiful deep dive through joys and sorrows both.

B is for THE BRUISING OF QILWA by Naseem Jamnia
Fantasy novella set in a Persian-inspired queernormative world, THE BRUISING OF QILWA follows Firuz, a nonbinary aroace healer and blood magic user, as they unravel the mystery of a new diseases. Lush and intense, this incredible story packs *so many* layers of queerness, political strife, community and family. One of my 2022 favourites.
