🌈 Hey, Reading Rainbows happy Saturday! It’s our final post for Aromantic Awareness Week! To wrap up with a bang, we have 24 books featuring aromantic MCs or nonfiction books with a focus on aromanticism. These are all new recommendations from our earlier reels and our post from last year. If you missed our reels, we’ll repost them in our stories!
What’s your favorite aro book? Drop us the title and author in the comments! Authors please feel free to self-promote your aro books in the comments!
Aromanticism is not a one size fits all. These characters live full and varied lives from all backgrounds. Aro characters can exist in every genre, even romance! While there’s still a way to go to break down amatonormativity, reading aro books is just one step!
Books listed above their respective graphics.
ID: A post of seven slides. All slides have a background made up of the aromantic flag which has five stripes: dark green, light green, white, gray and black. Overlaid is an opaque white square in the middle with a thin white outline surrounding the square. The first slide reads “24 Aromantic Books for Aromantic Awareness Week”. The 24 is in aro flag colors while the text below follows the aro flag color scheme. Slides 2-8 have four book covers in two rows of two each. End ID.
