As a remixed mash-up of Doja Cat’s “Need to Know” and Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater” blared, some wildly inappropriate lines from a sex scene in Ali Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis flashed onscreen and I immediately kept scrolling immediately ordered a copy to my Kindle. There I was, scrolling aimlessly through TikTok, getting 30 second snippets of a disturbing true crime case here, questionable Gen Z style hauls there, and then I saw it: my first ~smutty~ book recommendation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This catalog page is provided by The Online Books Page, and the literature by Project Gutenberg.

![]() ![]() ![]() We bounce between a school bus of kids armed with paper clip missiles and spitballs, to the heroines and heroes of Kosrou's family's past, who ate pastries that made them weep, and touched carpets woven with precious gems. To them he is a dark-skinned, hairy-armed boy with a big butt whose lunch smells funny who makes things up and talks about poop too much.īut Khosrou's stories, stretching back years, and decades, and centuries, are beautiful, and terrifying, from the moment he, his mother, and sister fled Iran in the middle of the night, stretching all the way back to family tales set in the jasmine-scented city of Isfahan, the palaces of semi-ancient kings, and even the land of stories. At the front of a middle school classroom in Oklahoma, a boy named Khosrou (whom everyone calls "Daniel") stands, trying to tell a story. ![]() ![]() The love interest, Flavia, is a Brazilian-Irish bisexual teenager who is just incredible, and is written so well. It’s a beautifully written book, and has such fantastic representation. I will never stop talking about The Henna Wars because it is just so amazing. Some Girls Do has two main characters, one of whom is a closeted bisexual girl named Ruby who spends her time fixing up her old car, who’s life is unexpectedly turned upside down when out and proud Morgan moves into her grade, after being forced to transfer from her catholic school for being gay. Hani’s parents are so supportive which is just amazing (and painfully rare) to read about in books, and it is overall just an incredible novel, with amazing rep. Hani, one of two main characters in Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating is an adorable Bengali-Muslim bisexual girl, and I love her so, so much. Hani and Ishu’s Guide to Fake Dating, by Adiba Jaigirdar ![]() To celebrate that, I’ve made a post of eleven books with amazing bi rep!! I have fantasy, contemporary, and more, and I’m so excited to share these eleven books that all mean the world to me. Hello, and happy Tuesday! As you may or may not have known, we are coming close to the end of bi visibility week, with bisexual visibility day on Thursday the 23rd. ![]() ![]() ![]() I took a break here to write the scripts for – quite coincidentally – the BBC adaptation of Tess of the D'Urbervilles. I wrote the first half quite happily and quickly, right up until the day in 1995 when Emma and Dexter end their friendship in a Soho restaurant. This one would be about the 20 years after – how do we change as we approach middle-age, how do we remain the same?īut how does a novelist sum up 20 years? How is the material selected and contained? That passage from Tess provided a clue, and the novel became 20 snapshots of a seemingly ordinary day, the significance of which would lie, sly and unseen, throughout the novel. My first novel had been about a 19-year-old, stumbling through university. ![]() I had recently turned 40, was about to become a father for the second time, and it felt vaguely inappropriate to write about young love in that same tone of voice. While I remain fond of my first two books, I didn't want to write another romantic comedy with an affable, accident-prone, self-deprecating male lead. ![]() In 2007, I found myself casting around for an idea for my third novel. ![]() For a while, I think I may even have taken to quoting it at parties. To my 17-year-old self, this seemed a thrillingly morbid idea, the notion of an anti-birthday lurking sly and unseen in the calendar. ![]() |
