A bookish ad that reads more like a self-help or travel agency ad. It has the cover for Awakenings on it, which includes a desert city and three friends overlooking the road to it. The ad copy reads: Have you failed repeatedly at society’s expectations? Your forgetfulness and wandering thoughts have left you adrift in a city obsessed with single-minded excellence, but the solution is simple. Leave! Hop onto a magical Wagon, travel this beautiful world haunted by dangerous shards, and focus on solving strangers’ problems instead of yours. The world is full of wonders, and who knows… their love might fix you!

You, too, could live a beautiful adventure and find deep friendships to feel at home with! Just hop onto Rumi's Wandering Wagon of Wonderful Wares and into the Chronicles of Nerezia.

Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex What exactly is sexual attraction and what is it like to go through life not experiencing it? What does asexuality reveal about gender roles, about romance and consent, and the pressures of society? T...

Hey #Ace friends, we were assigned a chapter from this book (Ace by Angela Chen) for class today, and it reads like a really thoughtful and interesting discussion of asexuality. Thought I'd share.

Sometimes, he marveled that Lysander had fallen in love with him, that he wanted to marry him. He remembered himself not all that long ago in a carriage ready to meet an uncertain fate with a man who would’ve treated him nothing like Lysander did. And then he let those memories go, put them aside in favor of a much better present. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

I couldn’t find anything with the #FridayKiss theme “destiny” so I went with “fate” instead—hope it’s close enough.

Picture of kindle with “kiss me maybe” on the screen. A teal ball of yarn and a purple ball of yarn, with a crochet hook and the beginning of a granny square

Started a new arc, thanks netgalley.

It has an ACE lesbian main character !!

So exciting 😍

As soon as they were through the door, Lysander’s hands clasped Sascha’s shoulders. Sascha’s breath caught in his throat at the press of those large hands. At the heat of Lysander’s body along back. Lysander squeezed slightly, then ran his palms down Sascha’s arms, trailing warmth in his wake. As Lysander’s fingers tangled briefly with his own, Sascha let out a long shuddering breath. Lysander’s chuckle was soft, closer to a rumble of sensation than a sound but Sascha heard it, felt it. Lysander brushed Sascha’s hair aside and pressed a soft kiss to his neck, just above his collar, just behind the glittering fall of jewels at his ear. Jewels Sascha still couldn’t believe Lysander had given him. “Lysander,” he whispered. To Love the Dragon King

He drew Sascha up and kissed him. “I’m proud of you and so grateful. You’re very brave.” “I’m not.” Sascha shook his head before Lysander could argue. He threaded a hand into Lysander’s hair. “Kiss me again, and make me forget about everything for a while. Everything but you.” “I can do that.” To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

This week’s #FridayKiss theme is brave, and I’m sharing something from To Love the Dragon King.

My second book brings back our broken hero and tosses him together with a demisexual heroine who is pushing back against societal and familial expectations. It also expands the cast of characters, many of which are queer and/or disabled.

#chaoticfantasy #diversereads #asexualbooks #booksky

It was odd to think about with...everything else, but despite the worry and the fear and the uncertainty that nagged at him, he was happy where he was, with Lysander. He liked being around him, and he thought Lysander liked being near him in turn, perhaps took some comfort in Sascha’s presence. More and more, they drifted toward each other. Sascha was glad to have his own bedchamber, but the idea of a private space was becoming more important than the reality of using it. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

Something from To Love the Dragon King for this week’s #FridayKiss theme of space

Odd how much he liked the idea of a future with Sascha in it. He didn’t know Sascha. But he wanted to. He was intrigued by the man, and Sascha’s grace and compassion, his strength and bravery, only deepened Lysander’s fascination. And, yes, he wanted Sascha in his bed, soon and often. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

This week’s #FridayKiss theme is future, and I found this in To Love the Dragon King.

Sascha transferred his attention to the view outside the window again. He wouldn’t have been able to tell something so important was happening from the tranquil, everyday scene below. It created such an odd dissonance in him. Outside their little bubble, the world continued apace as if everything was normal. But today wasn’t normal. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

For a lot of yesterday, I didn’t realize it was Friday, so my #FridayKiss was never shared. Oops. Here it is, a little late.

Jewels Sascha still couldn’t believe Lysander had given him. “Lysander,” he whispered. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

This week’s #FridayKiss theme is glitter, and since these dragon shifters like their gems and jewelry and sparkly things, I had a bit to choose from in To Love the Dragon King.

Sascha had long since gotten over any jealousy or disappointment he’d had at not inheriting the dragon Talent himself, but every time he saw Romilly’s scales, he couldn’t help thinking his likely would’ve been a similar color to the rich blue that perfectly matched Romilly’s eyes, and he felt just a bit of longing for what he’d never have. To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

I completely forgot to post my #FridayKiss yesterday, but I thought I’d share it anyway. Since magical powers are called Talents in Ivria, I had a lot to choose from for the theme “talented.”

The king lounged in the throne-like chair, his muscular physique filling out the jacket and pants he wore in oddly distracting ways. The clothing wasn’t made for court, but it wasn’t made for fighting either, the cut and decoration simple but the fabrics high quality and the shade of blue rich and saturated. His hair was thick and dark, cut well above his shoulders, and his skin was a rich, dark tawny gold. Chiseled features and a closely trimmed beard made up a compelling face, and intense mahogany eyes, he saw when he straightened from his bow, studied Sascha.

Triumph coursed through Lysander, but he forced himself not to swoop Sascha up and carry him off to start fulfilling his fantasies. He wouldn’t, not now, not yet. He did prowl closer as Sascha watched him, eyes still wide. Lysander only stopped when he was so close Sascha had to tilt his head up to meet Lysander’s eyes. Lysander liked that he did—he didn’t want someone who wouldn’t look into his eyes, not as a lover, not in his bed. He wanted to just take, but he wouldn’t. “May I kiss you?” Sascha blinked his large eyes, his lips parting again in surprise. But his voice was sure was he spoke. “Yes.” To Love the Dragon King Antonia Aquilante

Something from To Love the Dragon King for this week’s #FridayKiss with the theme “lover.”
