It is ACE Visibility Week! Here are some books at Boxwood that celebrate ACE identities!

Elatsoe - Darcie Little Badger
Elatsoe lives in this slightly stranger America. She can raise the ghosts of dead animals, a skill passed down through generations of her Lipan Apache family. Her beloved cousin has just been murdered in a town that wants no prying eyes. But she is going to do more than pry. She will rely on her wits, skills, and friends to tear off the mask and protect her family.

Loveless - Alice Oseman
Georgia has never been in love, never even had a crush – but as a fanfic-obsessed romantic she’s sure she’ll find her person one day. But when her romance plan wreaks havoc, she starts to question why love seems so easy for other people but not for her. With new terms thrown at her – asexual, aromantic – Georgia is more uncertain about her feelings than ever.

Being Ace - Madeline Dyer
The stories of this anthology are anything but conventional. Whether adventuring through space, outsmarting a vengeful water spirit, or surviving haunted cemeteries, no two aces are the same in these 14 unique works that highlight asexual romance, aromantic love, and identities across the asexual spectrum.

Amazing Ace, Awesome Aro - Victoria Barron
Separate the myths and stereotypes, and discover some of the wonderful intricacies that shape each spectrum, including: forms of love and attraction, common identities, microlabels, flags, and the entertaining community-led culture.

The Dragon of Ynys - Minerva Cerridwen
Every time something goes missing from the village, Sir Violet, the local knight, makes his way to the dragon’s cave and negotiates the item’s return. But when the dragon hoards a person, that’s a step too far. Sir Violet storms off to the mountainside to es**rt the baker home, only to find a more complex mystery— a
quest that leads him far beyond the cave.

Ace and Aro Journeys - Ace Advocacy Project
What does it mean to be ace or aro? How should I approach the challenges that come with being ace or aro? How can I best support the ace and aro people in my life? Join the The Ace and Aro Advocacy Project (TAAAP) for a deep dive into the process of
discovering and e

Today marks a landmark decision for justice!! 🙌🏼 On June 15, 2020, the Supreme Court ruled on the Bostock v. Clayton County case in favor of Gerald Bostock, who was fired from his position in Georgia after his employer learned he joined a gay softball league. This decision cemented protections under Title IX that LGBTQ+ workers cannot be fired for their sexuality or gendered identity because “The Court ruled that it is impossible to discriminate against a person for being gay or transgender without inherently discriminating against them based on their sex”
