My first read for #LBQTHistoryMonth2025 is the tagged. I LOVE it but didn't realise it was part of a series. If I wanted to read the other Green Creek books, would it matter that I've read #3
first?
I love this graphic from @QueerChameleon 🏳️‍🌈 Says it all really.

Zuhkeeyah The storyline makes more sense in order but the way book #3 is setup it‘s almost a standalone. It‘s a great series! 2w

I don't read much manga, but I have read a few queer slice-of-life series that I've enjoyed. Chika discovered the term asexual for herself after a few unfortunate encounters in her first week at university. What follows are a series of wonderfully frank conversations between new friends.

Update on #lgbtqbookbingo2024 #lgbtq @Kenyazero

Planning on reading Giovanni‘s Room for published before 2000 and need to find a aro/ace book!

Anyone have any suggestions?

#asexual #aromantic

Kenyazero A few I can think of for ace are: In the Lives of Puppets by TJ Klune; Genderqueer by Maia Kobabe; Baker Thief by Claudie Arseneault; Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger. 5mo

TieDyeDude Non-fiction or fiction ace book? Loveless by Alice Oseman or Let's Talk About Love by Claire Kahn are good YA options. Amanda DeWitt has a couple novels with ace characters, too, but I haven't read them yet. 5mo

Kitta @Kenyazero Elastoe was all over my feed for a while and I‘ve been meaning to read it! I‘ll look into the others too thanks so much! 5mo

Kitta @TieDyeDude I‘m thinking fiction but also willing to read non-fiction. Not into YA or romance which is making this a bit more difficult. I don‘t mind a romantic plot but find most romance novels to be too much and a bit cringey. Amanda DeWitt‘s Aces Wild sounds interesting though! Have you read

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals about Desire, Identity, and the Meaning of Sex

Kitta Ace (tagged above) has been on my radar for a while, considering that too. @TieDyeDude 5mo

TieDyeDude I haven\'t read Ace, but my wife did and liked it. I don\'t like romance either, but since ace-centered stories are more about figuring out how to navigate a relationship where sex may or may not be involved, they seem more complex and more interesting. Let\'s Talk about Love is a little more generic, but Loveless was a nice twist on the college experience. I haven\'t read Aces Wild yet, but I am hoping it is good, I want to read it soon. 5mo

Kenyazero @Kitta I‘ve read Ace! I‘ve heard a lot of good things about it. It presents many interesting ideas, and introduces and explores topics thoroughly. I didn‘t like it as much for a variety of reasons but still felt like I learned a lot and connected with a lot. 5mo

Kitta @TieDyeDude thank you so much, that clarifies a lot for me! I think I find sex scenes in romance books a bit contrived and cringey so I‘d probably enjoy an ace romance if the focus is on the relationship more. Thanks for the recommendations! 5mo

Kitta @Kenyazero ooo thanks, I‘ll keep that in mind if I decide to go with Ace! I feel like I have a lot of options now. The litsy community is great! 😊 5mo
