A-Spec August!

A-Spec August!

I love a good readathon - especially one that means that I read more widely and discover new books. And that’s exactly what I wanted to do off the back of reading Loveless by Alice Oseman last month. There doesn’t seem to be much ace/aro/demi rep out there, so as soon as I saw A-Spec August was happening, I knew I had to take part!

A-Spec August is run by Imi and Ellie at beyond a bookshelf, and all the details about the readathon can be found here.

So what with my not knowing a huge amount of ace books beyond Loveless and Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann, which I recently won in a giveaway, I made straight for Imi and Ellie’s masterlist of a-spec book (which you can see here) to help me decide how best to fit my reading to the prompts on the bingo board!

An a-spec book from your TBR:

The only other a-spec book I currently have on my TBR is Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann, which stars a biromantic asexual protagonist. I know literally nothing else about this book, so I’m excited to go in knowing nothing!

An a-spec contemporary, historical, and/or romance:

I’m doubling up with my Summer BookHiBearNation readathon tbr for this one, and reading Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman. I started this earlier this year but didn’t manage to finish it, so I’m determined to do so this time!

An a-spec sci-fi or fantasy:

I actually want to read a sci-fi, The Sound of Stars, and a fantasy, Queen of Coin and Whispers, for this one! I’ve heard really positive things about both, so I’m hoping that they’re both wonderful reads!

An a-spec book you’re predicting to be five stars:

Vengeful by VE Schwab! I need to finish reading Vengeful, which is of course the sequel to Vicious which has ace rep. So I’m counting the sequel too! I absolutely adore this duology so far, and can’t wait to get back in to it.

A re-read of an a-spec fave:

I mean, I keep picking up Loveless and re-reading all my favourite parts, so I may as well count it towards this prompt! It’s such a brilliant book.

So that’s my TBR for A-Spec August!

Have you read any of these books, or are planning on taking part in A-Spec August too?
