Refusing Compulsory Sexuality: A Black Asexual Lens on Our Sex Obsessed Culture by Sherronda. J. Brown and contributions by Hess Love and Grace B. Freedom.
Everything you know about sex and asexuality is (probably) wrong. The notion that everyone wants sex is false. It’s intertwined with our ideas about capitalism, race, gender, and queerness. It impacts the most marginalised among us. For asexuals, it means that A-Spec identity is often defined by a queerness that is not queer enough. Sherronda offers new perspectives on asexuality. She looks at how anti-Blackness, white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity, and capitalism enact harm against asexual people, contextualising acephobia within a racial framework in the first book of its kind
Content Warnings: acephobia, acrophobia, misogyny, racism, rape, biphobia, hate crimes
What Did I Think?
I honestly think this is just essential reading. It covered absolutely everything about asexuality from so many different angles and left no stone unturned. I think everyone learning about queer history, whether you’re a member of the queer community or not, should read this. It’s written in such an academically accessible way, as well. It wasn’t too complex or challenging for me to read, nor was it condescending. I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

Fiiinally finished this book that I started in January (I haven't been doing so well with nonfiction lately). In "Thinking, Fast and Slow", Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman shares his decades of research into behavioural psychology, including heuristics/cognitive biases and happiness. It's written quite accessibly with a light tone, but you'll need to be able to process several analytical concepts, which is why I only read small segments at a time. I loved the content, though, and it enhanced my ability to cope with obstacles in my life. #reading #literature #books #NonFiction #ThinkingFastAndSlow #DanielKahneman #PsychologyBook #NobelPrizeWinner #BehaviouralPsychology #BehaviouralEconomics #bookworm #52BookChallenge #Bookof52 #ReadingChallenge #BookChallenge #52BookChallenge2021 #BookChallenge2021 #ReadingChallenge2021 #bookstagram #BookLover #BookLoan https://www.instagram.com/p/CTuR-iKokex/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nora has been a lot of girls. The daughter of a con artist who targets criminal men, Nora finally managed to pull the ultimate con: escape. For five years Nora has managed to dust off her skills due to her current problems; her ex walked in on her and her current girlfriend; the morning after, they all have to meet at the bank to drop off the fundraiser money, a nightmare that goes from awkward to deadly, because; right after they enter the bank, two guys start robbing it. The robbers have no idea who they’re really holding hostage.
Content Warnings: child abuse, domestic abuse, emotional abuse, sexual assault, gun violence, pedophilia, abortion
What Did I Think?
I loved the writing style, it was really fun and action packed. I read this pretty quickly, it was just so gripping and page turning. I know it had some flaws like I know that’s not really how banks work and how Nora spoke a lot about how she’s bad but a lot of the time the trauma got there before she could really show any of that, but I didn’t even mind them too much. I also really like the way trauma was represented throughout the book, it made me feel like the author has personal experience with parental trauma. I recommend it and I’m also so excited to see this become a movie with Millie Bobby Brown!
