Welcome to Litsy!

Bi will obviously be of most interest to bisexual readers, but it has plenty to offer a general audience too. I would especially recommend it to straight allies and loved ones of people who have recently come out as bi, as a solid resource for informing your understanding and conversations 💖💜💙 Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/bi-julia-shaw/

Overall a positive book full of information.

I did, however, have a few issues with it that have left me feeling disproportionately annoyed.

As usual, I've written down my thoughts in a ranty essay in my phone notes that I'll never post anywhere because expressing strong opinions on the internet never usually leads anywhere positive 😅

My first read for #pridemonth

I like the terming of “monosexuality” for either hetero or homosexual, as in being attracted to only one gender, and “bisexuality” referring to being attracted to multiple genders.

The audiobook is narrated by the author and is easy to follow. I always appreciate a chance to learn more about history, visibility, and cultural shifts in the LGBTQIA+ world. I thought this was great.

I love #bookspin drawing day! Both of these are Libro.fm purchases recently. I can‘t wait to get started! Perfect for #NonfictionNovember.

This is such an important book. Bi-erasure is all too real, isolating, and invalidating, and until reading this book I hadn't realised the gaping space that it had filled. Queerness in all its forms should be celebrated, and this book gives an honest focus but with plenty of positivity. Even a self-proclaimed well-informed bi like myself still had plenty to learn from this book.

New arrivals today 💃💃💃💃

Fear not... I've also ordered a 4-tier book trolley 😋

@The_Penniless_Author got me curious about Tove Ditlevsen so that's a #blameitonRandy purchase 🤣🤣🤣

Otherwise I have two more Emily St John Mandels and a history of bisexuality 😊🌈
