“Snow days are a special kind of magic.”
- KISS HER ONCE FOR ME by Alison Cochrun
The protagonist of KISS HER ONCE FOR ME is Ellie Oliver, an animator out of a job whose star-crossed encounter with Jack Kim-Prescott results in an unexpected webcomic hit titled “Snow Day.” When Alison Cochrun, author of THE CHARM OFFENSIVE, reached out to me to ask me to sit in Ellie’s seat and put images to Alison’s opening pages, she didn’t have to ask twice! The book is hilarious and tender, and I can’t wait for everyone else to fall in love with it this holiday season. 💕
You can get a printed copy of this comic by preordering KISS HER ONCE FOR ME from East City BookShop and filling out Alison’s Pre-order campaign form. (You’ll also get the PDF bonus holiday chapter of THE CHARM OFFENSIVE!) KHOFM will be released in the USA on November 1st!

Happy International Asexuality Day! 🖤🩶🤍💜
Much like last year, here's a recommendation list of aspec books I've read and a few on my tbr. I've also added some aspec authors, too. It's obviously not an exhaustive list, but it'll get you started.
I'm spending this rainy day celebrating (i.e. reading) instead of educating. I've got some posts already on my page with my experience being ace. I'm tired of constantly educating and defending my sexuality to people. Google is a good starting point. Search out ace bookstagrammers and content creators. We aren't a monolith and all of our experiences are different.
I hope you enjoy the recs! Have you read any of these or have any favorites I should put on my radar?

Jack: We are two queer women, and we're going to use this drive back to the cabin to do what queer women do.
Ellie: And...what's that?
Jack: We're going to talk about our feelings.
Ellie: Do we have to?
Jack: Yes. It seems like we've had some kind of miscommunication about what happened last year. Miscommunications are for the straights. We are going to talk this out.

the most unrealistic part of The Charm Offensive is when charlie said he read star trek fanfiction and in the next sentence he said he realised he hadnt read any stories about men falling in love
