7 Works with Aromantic Representation for Aromantic Awareness Week!

Today, February 18th, marks the beginning of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! To celebrate, we asked our contributors to recommend to us books with aro characters. This was a doubly challenging ask, because we also did a rec list for Aromantic Awareness Week last year, and we didn’t want any repeats this year!

• Archivist Wasp (Archivist Wasp Saga) by Nicole Kornher-Stace
• An Accident of Stars (Manifold Worlds series) by Foz Meadows
• Not Your Backup (Sidekick Squad series) by C.B. Lee
• Hockey Bois by A.L. Heard
• Sheepfarmer’s Daughter (The Deed of Paksenarrion series) by Elizabeth Moon
• Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
• The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos series) by Samantha Shannon

Recommendations contributed by Shadaras (@shadaras on Tumblr), Nina Waters (@unforth on Tumblr), Polls (@not-gwaenchanha on Tumblr), and Shea Sullivan.
