Recent bisexual and poly reads

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks - 
A lovely, seasonal romance told over one night in a Halloween/Autumn theme park. Really sweet and heartwarming. The female main character is bi/pan!

The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson - A sci-fi world where poly relationships are the norm, this is the story of one girl who is taken away from her mum and dads and trained on a different world. Really interesting worldbuilding, but I struggled to keep track of the plot in audio format.

Wain: LGBT reimaginings of Scottish folktales by Rachel Plummer - Poems of folklore woven through with queer characters of all types, this is the kind of subtle magic that I love. 

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers* - A near-future look at a manned mission to research primitive alien life outside the solar system. The crew wear patches that alter their genes to adapt to each planet - making their skin glitter on low-light moons, giving them more muscle strength on high gravity planets, etc. The alien lifeforms are fascinating and distinctly non-Earthian. I loved the crew too - some amazing diversity of race and sexuality for only 4 characters in a poly relationship. The ending really struck a chord with me too - it made me think a lot about what the true purpose of space travel might be, and what we hope to get out of it as a race.
