Day 3 of Aromantic Awareness Week brings us to the section of go-to recommendations that I don’t (yet) have print copies of, so it’s time for a lovely slideshow!
Let me share with you yet more amazing aro representation in books and maybe you’ll find a book to love yourself as well!

It’s Day 2 of Aromantic Awareness Week and today I’ll be talking about some of my favourite aromantic characters in fiction! Today’s video covers the books that I have print editions of, so I can wave around shiny books and generally geek out as I discuss why I love these books so much and why I think you should check them out!

It’s Aro Awareness Week 2020! I’m kicking off the week in style with a general discussion about aromantic characters in fiction and what to expect of this week of special AroAwarenessWeek videos tackling some of the books with aro representation!
But not in this video! Oh, no. In this video I really am just rambling about the state of representation in general, what some of the pitfalls are and what to expect of the next six days.
Come join me and maybe you’ll find some of your new favourite representation!

Summary: Emilie des Marais is more at home holding scalpels than embroidery needles and is desperate to escape her noble roots to serve her country as a physician. But society dictates a noble lady cannot perform such gruesome work.
Annette Boucher, overlooked and overworked by her family, wants more from life than her humble beginnings and is desperate to be trained in magic. So when a strange noble girl offers Annette the chance of a lifetime, she accepts.
Emilie and Annette swap lives—Annette attends finishing school as a noble lady to be trained in the ways of divination, while Emilie enrolls to be a physician’s assistant, using her natural magical talent to save lives.
But when their nation instigates a frivolous war, Emilie and Annette must work together to help the rebellion end a war that is based on lies.
Disclaimer: I received an e-ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
CW: Violence, murder, gore, medical neglect, abuse, classism, family deaths, drowning
Lastly for this year’s Asexual Awareness Week special edition of Lynn Rambles About Books And Uses Slides, I’d like to delve into the self-promo for a moment and talk about my books in a bit more depth because, being an acespec author, it tends to crop up in my books too.
So, hi! Let me introduce you to some of my books! 😀

Yep, I’m still at it with the slide presentations. This is the last instalment in the mini-series. I’ll be delving into more generalised recommendations for representation. Basically, I’m taking a genre, a trope or a character archetype, etc that multiple people have asked for and grouped together 3-4 books that include both that and acespec representation. This is a special Asexual Awareness Week mini-series and focuses largely on trying to highlight some of the many books that are out there, but you may not have heard of them before.
Included in this video are:
Pirates and Captains and Such Things
Historical Fiction
Upcoming 2020 Releases
This is part 3 because otherwise this would be a very long video.

Welcome back to another instalment of my Asexual Awareness Week mini-series on fictional ace representation. Today I’m taking a quick break from recommending you specific book titles to stop and ask “But where do you FIND them, Lynn?”
The cheeky answer is that I looked until things started to turn up and then they just kind of… never stopped coming, but that doesn’t actually offer you anything concrete. So here are just some of the places and ways you can find asexual characters in literature.
And there’s plenty of other lists out there too, but these are the ones that have been most useful to me and should offer you a well-rounded way of finding the books that’ll work for you.

Welcome back! I hope you all weren’t particularly attached to my masked face because it is time for the ebook all-slides portion of the program! Today for Asexual Awareness Week, I’m continuing my discussion of aces in literature and fiction by mentioning some more of my go-to recommendations to people.
I’ll tell you what I loved about them, what they’re about, all that goodness. If you’re looking for asexual characters in fiction, these are a great place to start and it’s basically another video of me geeking out about other people’s books with no regard for genre or theme or anything.
