@ClH2OArs @lgbtqbookstodon ooh this sounds great! Thank you for the whole #AspecToZ recs!!

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!

Y is for THE DRAGON OF YNYS by Minerva Cerridwen

Shh, it's "Ynys" is totally the key word here. This one is a cozy fantasy where an aroace knight goes on a quest with his dragon friend!

Last #AspecToZ thread! We'll be doing both Y and Z together, since I only have one for each :D

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!

ASpecToZ is a series of recs for books with aro and/or ace characters ordered with the letters of the alphabet. Hit the tag for more!

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.

Back for more #AspecToZ, a little series where I recommend books with ace and/or aro characters based on letters of the alphabet ~

We're totally wrapping this up during #Pride, which is pretty cool.

Today's letter is U, and I have one book!

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!

#AsexualBooks #AromanticBooks #fantasy #QueerBooks #QueerBookstodon #AspecToZ

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!

All right, here we go again with a beautiful #ASpecToZ thread, complete with four book recommendations!
