My bookspin list for September. Looking forward to seeing which random book is chosen... Still way behind on catching up this year but at least I get to read the books I've been putting off for so long.

bailedI understand how important this book is. I just couldn't get into it. I believe myself an ally, and I thought this book had a lot to teach me, but I got about 25% in and thought, maybe it was written for someone else. I feel like its another “not for me“ or “not the right time“ type of books. #DNF #BookSpin @TheAromaOfBooks

pickThis was such a wonderful and heart-warming asexual/aromatic coming of age story. The characters and relationships were really well done and interesting. There was exploration of what being in a relationship meant, what love meant, and that platonic relationships can be just as valid as romantic and sexual ones.
The art style was great and I really enjoyed reading it.
Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC of the book
