Bisexual - attracted to same and other genders
I want to see some really awesome representation. Please feel free to add to this list, but I'd like if the books you want to add fill at least two of the following criteria:
*The character in question is definitely bisexual. Either by uttering the word themselves in the book or by exhibiting/mentioning attractions to more than one gender. (ideally the label would be mentioned in some way)
*The character is not a walking stereotype of bisexuality, shown as promiscuous, predatory, unfaithful or any of the other harmful traits usually associated with bisexuality. (if however, the character has these traits but is written about respectfully and is fleshed out beyond them, then please submit the book. The same also applies if the character with these traits is but /one/ of the many bisexual characters in the book.)
*There is no biphobia in the book, or if the biphobia is at least addressed and/or shown as a negative thing.
Also, these lists have a habit of becoming really white/cis/male so I ask of you to really think about what books you're submitting here. :) I'd love to read something a little more diverse and I'm sure most readers out there would like the same.

I haven't read either of those books - I'm trusting other readers to do right by the guidelines and add appropriate books. :)
