I'm really enjoying the book Aro Eros Arrows by Michón Neal

[Holmbo]

They write about different concepts relating to aromanticism and asexuality. I like the language and I'm learning about new terms (some suggested by the author, some established)

Here's the back blurb
" If aromantic people primarily desire friendship or nonromantic partnerships over romance, then how can they practice any recognized form of non-monogamy? And polyamory the practice of having multiple intimate, loving relationships is just for romantic people, right? The truth is, being aromantic or asexual usually means there's an emphasis on friendship, which is inherently non-monogamous. Being aromantic means loving a bit differently, but in ways that matter just as much. Knowledge about these experiences and identities can help with clarifying relationship needs, bringing up new possibilities and better choices for relationship format ion, and for turning friendship into something more than a simple throwaway stand in for some potential romantic partner. Communities built on friendship rather than competition (and let s face it, competitiveness is usually encouraged when it comes to romance) would be more cohesive, less prone to the power dynamics that lead to systemic abuse, and can actually cultivate true agency. There are plenty of books out there already for straight, white, romantic folks. This is the book Black queer aros never got."

Have someone else read it? Or maybe is interested in reading it along with me? We could start a book club

This book has been on my reading list, I just haven't had the chance to get to it! Have you finished reading it already? I'm pretty swamped at the moment, but would be cool to talk about it once I get around to it ?
