Happy Bi-Visibility Day, everyone! Whether you are bisexual or biromantic, allo or aspec, you are loved and you belong inside our cute little bi club.
Bi Visibility Day happens each your on September 23rd ever since 1999 and was created to raise bi awareness and challenge bisexual & biromantic erasure. 2020 will be the 22nd year that we have celebrated bisexual life on 23 September and I hope it will be celebrated for many years to come.
Before moving on to the rest of the post, I want to engage a little further on the topic of biphobia and bi-erasure. Three weeks ago I made a video on my Youtube channel about that topic, including 40+ things you shouldn’t say to bi folks, 40+ things you might have never seen as biphobic before. If you have a moment, please take a look at this video and give it a like. Thank you!
40+ things you SHOULD NOT SAY to a bisexual 💗💜💙 | Discussing biphobia and bi-erasure
Now moving on to why I wanted to write this post: Bi folks are often misunderstood, stereotyped and even fetishized. To help people understand it more, but also to share the bi experience, I want to recommend books with characters who identify as bi as they have the same right to exist in stories and be celebrated by booklovers as any other queer identity. Besides, seeing yourself in books is super important and some of you might just be looking for some good bi-books, but it’s also really good to read about identities not your own. So for #BiVisibilityDay, I want to share 20 books with biromantic and/or bisexual protagonists for you to add to your TBR. The following books are books I have read (and loved) myself, and books I really look forward to reading sometime. I have linked the Goodreads links to both the titles and the covers, so it’s easy to navigate. I really hope you find atleast one book that speaks to you, as that means I succeeded at my task of recommending you a good bi-book.

You will support me as for every sale made through my link, I will receive a small commission and it doesn’t cost the buyer anything extra.

Books that look like the bi-flag somehow
(The Devouring Gray #1)
by Christine Lynn Herman
This book is great everyone is pretty much bi, until confirmed otherwise. And these disaster Bis don’t all end up in same sex couples, which we stan!

(Feverwake #1)
by Victoria Lee
If you are looking for a bisexual mess, you are looking for Noam Álvaro. No doubt there.
[my review]
by Alechia Dow
I really love this book as it explores bisexuality aswell as being demisexual and what it means to be both in a really tender way.

Cute bi folks in contemporary
by Rianne Robben
A contemporary book from my own country that released TODAY with bisexual rep, a sapphic romance and dyslexia rep!
by Claire Kann
In this book the MC discovers she is bi-romantic asexual! We love the asexual rep, as Bi Visibility Day is not just for bisexuals.
by Zan Romanoff
The MC is dealing with a lot of internalised queer- and biphobia from standing in the spotlight until she meets a really cute girl who helps her with that.
[my review]
by Jen Wilde
This contemporary is all about geeky stuff and fandoms. Oh, and it’s queer! There is also #OwnVoices autism rep in this book, so even more reason to pick it up!
by Alice Oseman
I have fallen in love with Alice Oseman’s books, so I have no doubt this book is incredible aswell. One MC, Frances, is bisexual and the other one, Aled, is demisexual. Yes, this post is about Bi-rep, but let’s love the aspec rep too.
(Heartstopper #1)
by Alice Oseman
We gotta love cute guys who think they are straight figuring out they’re bi, because they fall in love with another cute guy.
by Mason Deaver
This book shows that everyone can be bisexual, even non-binary folks. BIG BONUS: the love interest is also Bi!
Bisexuals radiating chaos in adult fantasy
(Shades of Magic #1)
by V.E. Schwab
Rhy is just the shameless flirt that just likes you as long as you are cute. You’ll love him.

(The Chronicles of Nova Morgan #1)
by Kelly-Marie Pollock
This book is about a fierce bisexual vampire in Victorian London. She is hotheaded, but she is also very lovable.
[my review]
(Seekers #1)
by Josie Jaffrey
Ever heard of a disaster bi vampire detective? That’s Jack Valentine, and she is one of my favourite disaster Bis.

Disaster bis in YA SFF
(The Gilded Wolves #1)
by Roshani Chokshi
This book has been recommended to me so often by now and it also has an autistic MC, but apparently it has a bi MC aswell? I am running out of excuses to not read it,
(The Kyoshi Novels #1)
by F.C. Yee
My favourite Avatar ever is bi and her girlfriend is adorable. That’s what I am gonna say about this book.
by Claire Legrand
Ofcourse this queer YA horror has a bi MC, because if it hadn’t I would have started a riot (I’m joking). The other characters are also super queer and one of the MC’s is asexual!
(Six of Crows Trilogy #1)
by Leigh Bardugo
Among the six main characters, two of them are bi! I really love how even though their sexuality overlaps, their relationships and love-interests are super different.
[my review]
(The Shadow Game #1)
by Amanda Foody
All I need to say about Levi Glaiyser is that he is cute, he is chaos and he is bisexual. This is one of my favourite book series and he is one of my favourite characters in it.
[my review]
(Reign of the Fallen #1)
by Sarah Glenn Marsh
The main character of this series is a super powerful and fierce necromancer. She stands her ground and uses her Death-wielding magic to protect her found family. Also, did I mention her girlfriend is adorable?
[my review]
by M.K. England
In no universe ever (hah, space joke) could a book called The Disasters not be fronted by a true disaster bisexual. And yes, he is just as disastrous in trying to save humanity as in his love life.

Hello, I’d like at least twenty more books that look like bi flags, please, because that is FANTASTIC cover design. There are so many amazing books on this list that I also love – Radio Silence, I Wish You All the Best, A Darker Shade of Magic, Sawkill Girls – and so many that I’m excited to read, like Queens of Geek and The Rise of Kyoshi. Thank you for putting together this list of fantastic recommendations! 💖💜💙
