I‘ve got my May #Roll100 ready to go! So far I‘ve been finishing one of my picks each month, which will probably continue to be the case. @PuddleJumper

This is a book that will stick with me for a while. I was introduced to several new-to-me concepts that are interesting to consider:
Terms like chrononormativity and frigidity
That asexuals are often assumed homosexual (if you're not in a hetero relationship, you must be hiding a same-sex one), because lack of desire is not valid. This thinking has been applied posthumously to both Langston Hughes and Octavia E. Butler, among others. ⤵️

TieDyeDude (I've experienced this myself). That left-handers are 2.5 more likely to identify as asexual; this chapter made some interesting correlations between left-handed demonization and LGBT persecution (I'm also left-handed). The ways that a (white) cisheteronormative society is threatened by asexual acknowledgement. It is not a book for beginners, but it is a powerful examination of the struggles of ace individuals through a black woman's lens. 7mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian This is on my TBR! Thanks for the thorough review. I also enjoyed 7mo
TieDyeDude @caseythecanadianlesbrarian I am interested in that and tagged below. I started this book over a year ago, and for various reasons, didn\'t pick it up in earnest until last month, so I set aside other ace reads until I finished. 7mo
CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian @TieDyeDude it's exciting that there are more and more ace nonfiction books out now! 7mo

This book is a great coming of age graphic novel that can be used for middle aged students to show they are not alone

This graphic novel is about a middle grade child exploring new things about their body as they go through puberty. This story is extremely relatable and very easy to read.
