The Boy Maeve spotted at The Hobart Book Shop!
I've never visited Hobart without popping into The Hobart Bookshop at least once (and usually leaving with at least one book) and so while I'm not there to see it in person, it's quite the buzz to hear that The Boy Maeve is currently sitting in a rather prominent position in their YA section!

Radical Intimacy (Sophie K. Rosa) – Rosa delivers a strong critique of how the heterosexual, monogamous nuclear family unit was built to serve the needs of capitalist economics and woefully fails the individual and society at large in the midst of rising poverty and systemic discrimination.
Instead we're invited to look alternative perspectives on intimacy and community as well as challenging the primacy of monogamous romantic bonds drawing on queer, feminist and anti-colonial perspectives, especially those from the aro/ace & QPR community. Rosa covers aspects the hollowness of the wellness industry, state-sanctioned (and erased) relationships in housing, taxes and death, and the demotion of friendship bonds relative to marriage.
The book sparked a lot of thoughts for me as it progressed through a broad array of alternative perspectives on bonds to others. This especially hit close to home with my own experiences with QPR, polyamory and intensity in how I naturally relate to everyone in my circle. It's well worth a read if you feel nuclear bonds as isolating and the capitalist dominion over social spheres disempowering.
> "For queers, trans people and other marginalised groups such as sex workers and rough sleepers, mutual, collective mothering in a broader support network has always been the norm. Amongst these communities, kinship networks are chosen and porous – or, as the writer Armistead Maupin has put it, ‘logical’ family. While this type of kinship may include communal living, it may also be diffuse, between people who share spaces and moments dedicated to care, connection and community. This could take infinite shapes: shared creative pursuits, childcare cooperatives, support groups, sex parties, festivals, co-authoring, political organising. As the comedian and historian Jules Joanne Gleeson argues: ‘for queers, the prospect of putting an end to the domination of private households can come to seem less extreme and more hopeful’ because it would mean ‘an end to the farce of most queers being raised by heterosexuals’."

Z is for ZERO SUM GAME by S. L. Huang
Closing in with a sf thriller from 2014 with a (word of god) gray ace MC, ZERO SUM GAME. This one also focuses on a m/f friendship, so FIREBREAK fans, look into it!

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

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!

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
