One very difficult thing to do, for anyone of any marginalised orientation or gender identity, is coming out. Whether or not to do it, how to do it, when, where, and to whom? There's a lot to consider and it's no easy task. Since coming out as asexual is a little bit different to other … Continue reading AAW: Advice on Coming Out
Creativity is one of the best ways you can express yourself, so today's AAW post is all about appreciating the work of asexual and aspec artists! Some of the art here comes from friends of mine, and some is from the wider ace community. It is Inktober after all, so what better time to share … Continue reading AAW: Ace Art Appreciation
In my first AAW post this week, I mentioned that there are lots of different kinds of attraction, and gave you a very brief overview of two of them: sexual and romantic. Today I'm going to go into more detail, about these two types and many others. For a lot of people, some or all … Continue reading AAW: Asexuality & Attraction
Asexual representation in media has a long way to go, so I thought I would use this Ace Week post to showcase some books that feature asexual characters, plots, and themes (since this is also a book blog, after all). As a Young Adult writer and fan, I am pleased to say that most of … Continue reading AAW: Asexual Books

Today marks the start of Asexual Awareness Week 2019, also known as AAW or Ace Week. As some of you may know, I came out as ace earlier this year, so I'm going to actually put some effort into AAW this year! 'Asexual' is a label I have identified with on and off for about … Continue reading AAW: Asexual Awareness Week
The queen of UK YA has done it again. Holly Bourne's new book, The Places I've Cried in Public, is her most powerful story yet. It follows Amelie as she retraces the steps of her relationship with Reese, specifically all the places he made her cry. This is a brilliant and heartbreaking book about abuse, … Continue reading Review: The Places I’ve Cried in Public
Anyone who knows me knows I love a good zombie flick - or a bad one. Which is odd really, considering I can't handle most other kinds of horror. In any case, my interest in the undead has recently reanimated and I've been sampling a lot of the zombie media that Netflix has to offer. … Continue reading Netflix Zombie Reviews
I haven't been terribly active in the blogosphere for the last couple of months because I've been busy working on my book (and watching copious amounts of Netflix).
