Being on the Ace spectrum (demisexuals FTW!) this week is near and dear to my 🖤🤍💜🩶 So here’s my list of books to fill your TBR shelf for Asexual Awareness Week. There’s stories from a wide range of genres from Fantasy to Supernatural Horror to college sports to Memoir comics.
I’ve also tried to included stories from the full Ace spectrum, so there’s bound to be something for everyone. And if you have recommendations of novels, novellas, comics, or manga please drop them in the comments below. (Yes, you can recommend your own books too.)
NOTE
The sexuality of the character(s) was either indicated by the author, publisher, or readers. If any of these are inaccurate please feel free to comment below.
