#WhatchaReading ? I'm reading Upside Down by N.R. Walker and am confused, because there is so much kvelling about its asexual rep. And so far, in a support group for asexual and aromantic people, the leader/MMC has only talked about people not wanting to have sex, which as I understand it isn't even true of all ace people and is certainly not true of all aromantic people. Perhaps more nuance will appear later in the book?

@willaful @romancelandia @romancebooks it's definitely a spectrum (of which I'm on)...I really hope it gets better, because I had that book on my radar, but I appreciate at least acknowledgement of the spectrum for ace rep.

I'm almost finished my reread of Fairytale by Maggie Shayne, and just started listening to my ALC of Bookshops and Bonedust by Travis Baldree!

@willaful Reading Vanessa Riley's first Lady Worthing mystery, _Murder in Westminster_; I'm compelled to keep reading, even though the narration sometimes feels a bit stream-of-consciousness (first person, part tense), in what feels like an established universe I've just been dropped into without warning.
