In the LGBTQ acronym, the B is often underrepresented or subsumed under the 50 or G; bisexual books are no different, which is why I wanted to brand this list of must-read bisexual books. (Note: I'm using the discussion bisexual as a broad, inclusive umbrella term that includes pansexual, sexually fluid, and any other word that means romantically and/or sexually attracted to more than i gender).

Tired of trying to notice out if the "LGBT" volume you want to read actually has any bisexual content?? Wanting to see more than non-monosexual experiences reflected in the fiction and non-fiction you read? Check out these bisexual books! They cover a wide variety of genres and formats: YA, memoir, fantasy, scientific discipline fiction, historical fiction, realism, graphic novels, anthologies, classics, and more!

Looking for even more bisexual books? Cheque out these amazing resources that were super helpful while I was compiling this list: The Bi-Bibliography (an astoundingly thorough alphabetize of bisexual books), the Bisexual Book Awards (in its fifth year of giving awards!) and the majestic Bisexual Books Tumblr. For more than bisexual YA, have a wait at the 100 Must-Read LGBTQIA YA Books that I wrote; for more books about bi women, read Danika's 100 Must-Read Lesbian and Bi Women Books. Since they are harder to observe, books by authors of color have an asterisk (*) beside them and books about bisexual boys, men, genderqueer, and/or trans people have a number sign (#). Savor and allow me know if I've left off any of your favorites in the comments!
