Welcome to Litsy!

reread it this year, easy read, standard work about asexuality
4.5/5

My morning activities today: lazy reading, coffee, and maybe some crochet, my newest hobby. My reading has slowed down a lot as the year progressed, but I‘m refusing to see that as a bad thing. It‘s been deeper and more meaningful in many ways. Still, it‘s a mystery to me that I tend to read less when I start having more time off of work for the holidays. This morning‘s mood is an anomaly.

It took me a really long time to finish this, partially because I took a long break. It‘s pretty dense, and several chapters covered some emotionally turbulent topics I wasn‘t prepared to feel right then. Overall an excellent read and many interesting insights. I related to a lot of what was said and filled my copy with sticky tabs marking that and other content. A few times I felt this went off course or reached odd conclusions. #LGBTQIA

10/10 a great read when learning about the spectrum of sexuality and gender. 💕

I‘ve read a lot of books on ace identity at this point and I think this is my favorite one. It‘s so affirming and talks about so many different topics that are relevant to the ace community. Definitely if you are also ace like me it should be on your reading list, but actually everyone should read it.

This is the funniest book I‘ve read since The Guncle. An all asexual online friend group meets in Las Vegas to find incriminating evidence of a casino owner. I mean, that‘s a great concept. The writing was a little difficult- I just didn‘t jive with it- but the jokes, characters, and plot were awesome. I wanted a little more heist, given it was the subtitle to this book, but it definitely delivered on everything else. 5⭐️

This book is great because it‘s not just about the asexual community. It‘s about sex, and the hold it has on a lot of what we base successful relationships on. It‘s a discussion on other healthier ways to create and keep relationships. Because if sex is the be all end all, it‘s not just Aces that can be found lacking or ‘odd‘. It puts an unrealistic standard on everyone. If you‘re Ace, read this book. If you‘re not, read this book.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
