I just ordered this book. It is supposed to have an asexual main character.

Thank you!!! 😊

RuSirius3

Have you read any of the books from the website you mentioned? Thanks! 😊

dariazeoli Sorry, I haven't. When I first realized I was ace and did some research, a lack of asexual representation in the arts was something I found. That list is longer than it used to be, but still has many "assumed asexual" characters. I didn't want to give a pat, "Sherlock is Ace!" answer, either! You've made me want to look into this more, so I'll let you know if I find more characters. 7y
Notafraidofwords @dariazeoli if you find something, I would love to know!! 7y

My daughter just came out as an asexual. Anyone know of any strong asexual characters in literature?

RuSirius3 Than you! 7y
RuSirius3 Oops! I mean thank you!😊 7y
annkuch13 This one is supposed to have really good asexual rep, though I haven't gotten to it yet. Also, Jughead in the Archie comics is canonically asexual. 7y
LadySarah The protagonist of Seanan McGuire's Every Heart a Doorway is asexual! She's also a really smart, really strong character. And, as a bonus, that book is just generally a great fantasy novella. 7y

I really enjoyed this book. Although it is a scary look into what now seems a plausible future. I only wish she would have expanded on what happened at the end of the book. I give it four ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Laney1733 I read them out of order. I read and loved Drawing of the Three so then I went back and read The Gunslinger for background/context before moving on with the series. 7y

I would give this book ⭐️⭐️⭐️out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I found it to be a little boring in the middle of the book. Overall, a fun not too deep read.

Only about 125 pages from finishing this great read! It has been a slow read for me. I am smack in the middle of two six hour infusions for my autoimmune disease. I have been MIA from Litsy for a long while due to lack of energy and other various side effects of my infusion. However, I am really enjoying this book! It's almost too real even though it's fiction!📚❤️

Meh.... I liked this book enough to read it in it's entirety, but not enough to read it every chance I got. The plot seemed like every other YA sci-fi book. There really were not any twists. Very predictable read.

I really liked this book. It is an easy read, less than 200 pages. It is a beautiful and sad story about a man who just wants to be alone. I give it five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'s.

American Gods | Neil Gaiman
post image
Mehso-so

I just finished reading American Gods. I feel conflicted 😐. I liked the beginning and ending of this book. The middle of the book was definitely not my favorite. I'm not even sure why I didn't like the middle. I think maybe just too many characters. Anyway, I will give it three out of five ⭐️'s. If you like reading about various belief systems with a lot of fantasy thrown in, this is the book for you.

TheBookDream Your description makes me want to read it, but I've never made it past the opening before. Weird stuff. 7y
DarcysMom I am thinking about reading it as an audio book. Neil Gaiman reads it, and I like listening to him. 7y
