Inside an Anthology: Being Ace ed. by Madeline Dyer

Today on the site I’m delighted to kick off Asexual Awareness Week with a peek inside the new anthology Being Ace, ed. by Madeline Dyer! The collection released earlier this month from Page Street, and we’re about to dig into the contributions. But first! A little more about the anthology: Discover the infinite realms of asexual love across sci-fi, fantasy, and contemporary stories From a…

Being Ace: An Anthology of Queer, Trans, Femme, and Disabled Stories of Asexual Love and Connection edited by Madeline Dyer

goodreads

From a wheelchair user racing to save her kidnapped girlfriend and a little mermaid who loves her sisters more than suitors, to a slayer whose virgin blood keeps attracting monsters, the stories of this anthology are anything but conventional. Whether adventuring through space, outsmarting a vengeful water spirit, or surviving haunted cemeteries, no two aces are the same in these 14 unique works that highlight asexual romance, aromantic love, and identities across the asexual spectrum.

Mod opinion: I haven't read this anthology yet, but I'm very excited for when I get around to it.

books that looked interesting on my last bookstore visit

[tllgrrl]

I sometimes treat myself to something fun for my birthday. This year my car got some long overdue maintenance work, and I will be replacing tires next week. So this year, this yarn is my Fun gift to myself. (This, and a black t-shirt with the “Now I am become Death…” quote done in pink Barbie font.)

This is hand dyed 100% Merino wool yarn from a small batch dyer, and the minute I saw this colorway—inspired by, of course, BARBIE, and called “Ken-ergy”—it made me laugh.

I have two skeins, my plan is for another Framework Bralette, and it will be the brightest thing in my whole wardrobe. Eh-ver. This will be perfect to wear the time of year when it’s cold and sundown is at 4pm and I’m wearing all black everything…except this.

Just thought I’d share some bright on this cloudy rainy Monday here in the Desert.

That quote, BTW, is the inside of the label, and it’s true. As I’m knitting, each stitch ends up next to another color and they absolutely sing.

what u reading now, or read lately, anything good to rec? also, some of your fave books in general?

i'm currently reading / just finished reading:

plain bad heroines by emily m. danforth (i believe she wrote "the miseducation of cameron post" too, which i haven't read yet. but this one is really good so far, i love the writing style, the sapphics, and the gothic imagery)

looking glass sound by catriona ward (i love her novels! "the last house on needless street" is one of my all-time favorites. this is her newest novel and it's a wild ride)

eileen by ottessa moshfegh (going to read this before i watch the film)

circe by madeline miller (i read this about a year ago after reading "the song of achilles" and as a fan of greek mythology, i adore madeline miller's works so much. she's a phenomenal author and storyteller)

family of liars by e. lockhart ("we were liars" was one of my favorite YA books as a teen, so i had to pick this one up! i'd highly recommend both)

all time favorites (besides the ones mentioned above):

beloved by toni morrison (one of the best novels of all time for a reason!!!)

and then there were none by agatha christie (my favorite whodunnit/murder mystery novel ever. i'd also recommend the BBC 2015 miniseries, it was a really good adaptation)

the long walk by stephen king (king wrote this under his pseudonym richard bachman; it was one of the first books he ever wrote. i read this in high school and have not been able to stop thinking about it since. highly recommend, especially since an adaptation is in the works! misery & pet sematary are my other two favorite king novels)

a storm of swords by george r. r. martin (his best book and the best asoiaf book and one of the best books of all time!!! would be amazing if he'd finish the damn series already though. or at least give us winds of winter. im begging. fire & blood is another all time fave but it's not for everyone; it's more like a history book. i love it though)

the book thief by marcus zusak (read this when i was eighth grade and was sobbing my eyes out in math class because i was reading it instead of paying attention)

the unbecoming of mara dyer by michelle hodkin (the entire series is fairly good. the og trilogy are my favorites, especially the second one. i started the series when i was in seventh grade and she still hasn't published the last book. i'm convinced she's trying to rival GRRM at this point. like girl. write that book!!!)
