Polyamory across genres
Hello! I love my non-fiction polyamory books but I want to read more fiction books with polyamory rep in it. I've tried to include a variety of genres although it is leaning towards scifi quite heavily.
I haven't read all the books here and am open to books being suggested or removed.
I've tried to keep it to positive rep. I've edited the list to focus on main characters engaging in polyamorous relationships.
Earning Sci-Fi Chops
This is for the classics, the old and new, the lesser known books, the short stories and the translated speculative fiction. Sci-fi could be argued to be one of the best and most expansive genres out there - it’s just a matter of finding the right book for you.
If there is a series, I will only be putting the first book unless they are unrelated.
