Bi The Way, I Love You: A Charity Anthology of Diverse Bi Stories by Diverse Bi Authors

My review below. (you can also find a more detailed review here which includes specific reviews for the novellas I read!)

Release time!

°°°

This book is builds it's story very different compared to the books I'm used to. This... took some getting used to and made me struggle through the beginning of the book.

This book weaves the past, the present and the future all through each other which moves in a way that's absolutely beautiful. Confusing at first sure I'll admit, but so worth it when you come further into the book.

°°°

The relationship between Anne and Cai-Li was so so intense. The fierce emotions between these two women gave me so so many feels. There was an abundance of love, but this turns into big moments of anger and sad feelings too.

When two women are so intertwined in their life and come to a point they disagree things will get intense and this book absolutely shows that. Some things can't be forgiven, but people have to live on. This book gives these deep truths and turns it in something fierce.

°°°

And while the book really zooms in on the two women and those around them, it has a massive world with tons of lore hidden behind it. The magic in the book is deep and full of history. We learn this through many trips in the past where we get to see both magic and alchemy in it's glory. It was amazing to see such a rich world building in a book like this.

°°°

Concluding this book was a lovely read for anyone who likes deep character struggles with a cherry on top of a great world.

Rating: 4/5

Ignyte Award-winning author C. L. Clark brings fantasy to the fens with Fate's Bane, a tragic sapphic adventure.

Warring clans. Burning hearts. Deadly fate.

The clans of the fens enjoy a tenuous peace, and it is all thanks to Agnir, ward and hostage. For as long as she can remember she has lived among the enemy, learning their ways, growing strong alongside their children. When a burgeoning love for the chieftain’s daughter lures them both to a hidden spring, a magic awakens in them that could bind the clans under one banner at last—or destroy any hope of peace. By working their intentions into leather, they can weave misfortune for their enemies… just like the Fate’s Bane that haunts the legends of the clans.

Ambitions grow in their fathers’ hearts, grudges threaten a return to violence, and greedy enemies wait outside the borders, seeking a foothold to claim the fens for themselves. And though their Makings may save their families, the legend that gave them this power always exacts its price.

Review:

A tragic sapphic romance between two girls from enemy clans raised together as ward and hostage... and how the magic and grudges between their clans could destroy the romance blooming from them. This was a short and fast read with an ending that leaves you bit mixed up. I liked how everything was pacing and how the story has so much given despite the short length but I got a little lost at the end (that's just me). I did enjoy the author's writing style and it really was a great read.

Found this on Pinterest and at least the first three books are bisexual

Why can’t people use wlw or sapphic or queer women not all of them are lesbian

• Lady’s Knight ( Lady’s Knight #1 ) by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

And it was so beautiful and Gwen and Isobelle’s love story is so heartwarming.

It isn't 5-stars, but it has been very fun.

Be Gay Do Crime: Everyday Acts of Queer Resistance and Rebellion

Sometimes it pays to be gay and do crime.

As communities are boldly rising to challenge capitalism, white supremacy, and authoritarianism, Be Gay, Do Crime: Everyday Acts of Queer Resistance and Rebellion is your ultimate guide to LGBTQ+ resilience and rebellion. Packed with daily snapshots of radical queer history, this book celebrates the bold, the brave, and the beautifully defiant moments that have shaped the fight for justice.

Ever wonder why the Stonewall protests became an uprising or what the earliest acts of queer resistance looked like? How about the ways queer communities have organized against oppression across the globe? Be Gay, Do Crime dives into these stories and so many more--from fierce acts of resistance to joyful victories--bringing to life the rich, diverse history of LGBTQ+ liberation.

By situating readers within a larger pattern of struggle, these everyday acts counter the erasure of queer people from history and serve as a reminder that our struggles are part of a broader fight against systemic violence and dehumanization.

But, this isn't just a history book; it's a rallying cry. Flip to any page, soak up some inspiration, and join the legacy of resistance.
