    Do you have any suggestions for books my wife might like? She came out as bisexual a little under a year ago and is an avid reader. I think often she likes thrillers and horror. But any highly recommended books that you like that she could look into? Thanks in advance.

      Here are a few books I can think of:

      • Dead Letters from Paradise by Ann McMan, which is set in the south of the USA in the 1950s and is a cozy mystery with lesbian characters.
      • Burn Down, Rise Up by Vincent Tirado is young adult lesbian horror
      • The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean is weird because it’s so lightly horrific that I can’t really categorize it as horror, but also it has people who eat other people, so I guess it counts
      • Nothing Sung and Nothing Spoken by Nita Tyndall follows bisexual & lesbian teenage girls in 1940s Berlin
      • The Restless Dark by Erica Waters is a thriller based on the world of true crime podcast, I really enjoyed it

      Hope she enjoys one of them at least :)

      (And thanks for being supportive - I remember being scared out of my mind, a very long time ago, when I came out as bisexual to my boyfriend at the time. I love seeing people supporting their partners and getting them reading recs!)
