Rosiee Thor: Being Aro: A Collection of Aromantic Stories about Love

Tue, June 2 from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm PDT

Kick off Pride Month at The Literary Bookstore and Cafe! We are excited to welcome Rosiee Thor to celebrate their book Being Aro: A Collection of Aromantic Stories about Love.


About the book:

Explore expansive aromantic love and connection in stories across genres

These twelve stories showcase aromantic people breaking generational curses, finding acceptance, and protecting the vulnerable while highlighting the infinite ways people find connection and love without romance.

A high school matchmaker learns a lesson about love. A rebellious spaceship pilot defies his culture’s compulsory coupling. A boy magically transforms banned romance novels into living dragons. A teen immune to romance, and the zombie virus, fights to survive the apocalypse. Being Aro is full of stories throughout real and imagined worlds that cross genres and disrupt the status quo.
