I have the tagged as my audiobook this week. Need to finish up Well of Loneliness, then will tackle Little Rot and Just By Looking at Him. Will start the chunky Hollinghurst with no hope to finish by EOM.

I cannot believe we are on the last full week of #Pride month!

BarbaraBB Good luck with the Hollinghurst. He‘s always a hit or miss for me. 2d

ChaoticMissAdventures @BarbaraBB this will be my first. He is very intimidating. I am going to do half physical and half audio and see how far I get! 2d

After Sappho | Selby Wynn Schwartz

Just got back from a local street pride rally- mostly positive honks & waves from cars- a few denigrating shouts. Stopped in to pick up a hold at the library & they had a bug display of books, pins, flags for Pride month. #pride #indivisible

TheBookHippie Love it!!!! Love is so much easier. It always amazes me -the hate mongers… 4d

IriDas Glad to hear your library is doing stuff for pride. Ours did nothing this year. :( makes me a bit more focused on my Master‘s though (MLIS). I never thought being a librarian would put a person on the frontline of anything. 4d

kspenmoll @TheBookHippie Hate is soul destroying. Love is easier & leaves one full of light & joy. (edited) 3d

kspenmoll @IriDas We have a marvelous library, which is why how little T is treating libraries and librarians disgusts & enrages me so. Fortunately our town/state is all about libraries. 3d

TheBookHippie @kspenmoll ♥️ 3d

IriDas So glad your town is sticking to it. Traditionally, there was never an issue in ours. Just this year. I‘m so tired of the cowardice of people bowing to Conservatives and their phobias. 3d

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

Friday #Pride book recs!

Ace and Intersex books are not very common. Here are three each I recommend.

Ace = A-sexual this is such a scale! Angela Chen's nonfiction book Ace helped me so much to understand that range. I really recommend it.

**I originally added a book that after more research (I read it years ago before I knew better) appears to be harmful. This is an updated graphic.

ChaoticMissAdventures Curious about an asexual romance? It felt like 2 separate ideas that could never meet but this adorable romance changed my mind. Good for people who like love triangles, fake dating tropes, and character who just respect each other.

The Romantic Agenda

ChaoticMissAdventures If you have not read River Solomon what are you waiting for?? This one is fantastic. Aster is Ace, they are also a mechanic on a space ship. The universe that Solomon has created is large, detailed, and creative, and the characters are interesting to follow.

An Unkindness of Ghosts

ChaoticMissAdventures Sci-Fi/Fantasy Queen Le Guin this is about a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants spend most of their time without a gender. Called a groundbreaking book for both sci-fi and for intersex stories. Well worth everyone's time.

Left Hand of Darkness

ChaoticMissAdventures This is a classic for intersex novels. It has been a long time since I have read it, but the vibe and the heart of the story and the family vividly have stuck with me. Please be aware this is an older book so may contain some outdated ideas or language. Still worth the read.

Middlesex (Revised)

ChaoticMissAdventures I struggled to find intersex books I have read. so I am adding one that I plan to read this month. This one has great ratings on GR and I am excited to get into it. I have read a few articles about the author and they sound lovely.

TieDyeDude Thanks for sharing! My wife and I are both ace, and I love discovering books with ace characters. I tend to avoid romance novels because they don't speak to my experience, but I might consider Kann's book 😉 (edited) 2w

ChaoticMissAdventures @TieDyeDude I am not a big romance person either, I am trying another by Kann this month, there are not a ton of Ace books out there! 2w

willaful @TieDyeDude A surprising number of romance authors and readers are ace! But of course there are many different types of ace experience. Have you read any John Wiswell? 2w

Kitta Ooh thanks. I was looking for some recommendations related to this! 1w
