But when it came time to dress, she once again donned the working clothes of a Second Assistant Librarian. That was what she was, she told herself. She had earned the right to the red waistcoat. No one could take that away, even if she wasnât a proper Clayr.

A few store updates!
new rock pool sticker!
new crab sticker!
some I'd rather be watching my shows/entertainment media stickers I've been giving away with murderbot bookmarks but also you can buy one if you want
rearranged my general book fanart listings a bit - there's two A5 listings now (one for YA and one for adult, still slightly in the process of rearranging))
new scapegracers miniprint, and I also made scapegracers into its own listing
restocked my ofmd oranges bookmark with a variant without the name on the handle
I've also been running out of some stickers so I'll be rearranging those listings a bit soon - but also might wait til I make some new designs

That post of mine is a little old, so here's some more recent ones I've read!
I would most recommend if you're looking for it to be the MC and significant in the book:
Compound Fracture by Andrew Joseph White (out in september) - MC is an aro-questioning queer trans boy
Natural Outlaws and Fractured Sovereignty by S.M. Pierce - 1/2 MCs is an aroallo woman
but also perhaps:
The Tale That Twines by Cedar McCloud - has a greyaro-allo love interest, and aroallo best friend (the MC is demidemi)
The Mask of Mirrors by M.A. Carrick - one of the 3ish main characters is aro bi, mostly word of god but is lightly implied in the trilogy if you're looking for it. good character anyway
and Bloody Spade by Brittany M Willows, The Butterfly Assassin (in book 2) by Finn Longman, The Liarâs Guide to the Night Sky by Brianna R. Shrum, The Last by Hanna Jameson, also have aroallo side characters, where it's discussed a bit.
I also have an aro & ace books database! It has an aroallo tag.
Can someone please tell me where some aroallo rep is? Something where it's actually part of the story and treated like it does in fact matter. Hopefully books, I need some books to read and I need some motivation to read.

These Burning Stars/Chono anon sorry for coming in like 4 months late oops.
To my knowledge the author hasn't anything publicly about Chono being aromantic. I'm basing off the lines in the book + there where other reviewers who picked up on the aro vibes.
Sorry if it looks like I misled you đ°.
Ah all good! I guess I assumed you meant like clearly and explicitly canon & explored in text rather than just vibes, since personally when I talk about aspec characters I usually state it plainly if it's explicitly canon, otherwise say coded/vaguely/vibes(or otherwise communicate how clearly it's in there) - I realise everyone else probably doesn't adhere to those specific standards haha, so I shouldn't assume!
as far as I can remember the only time it's implied is "she has taken so few lovers in her life that she can count them on one hand, and toward each of them she feels a kind of uncomfortable curiosity, as if once the affair is over she can't understand what compelled her to be with them in the first place. .... when she met him in person for the first time, the way she liked him had shifted. ... she never loved him exactly, but with him she had the unprecedented experience of trusting her lover" - just that once scene, which to me personally, reads at most as 'could be aro/aro-spec' - would keep an eye out later in the series if it's expanded upon, but wouldn't state anything objectively definitive about it based on just that. I mean maybe it will be! I will continue the series for sure anyway
