  • Fantasy/Scifi Recommendations for Husband

    My husband and I are the classic "gamer boy, reader girl" pairing, but he's started reading a chapter or two with me before bed. Mr. Birch about to finish his current read and doesn't know what to pick up next. (I read mysteries and romances, so I'm no help whatsoever... as you'll see from the lists below.) What would you recommend? He plays action and massive multiplay online RPGs too. Thank you so much!

    Books he's read and enjoyed (last three suggested by me, yay!): Dune by Frank Herbert Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card The Expanse series by James S.A. Corey Harry Potter series by You Know Who Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

    Books he disliked and/or DNFed (all three suggested by me, ouch!): The Murderbot Diaries series by Martha Wells Ready Player One by Ernest Cline Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman

    P.S. It's late here in Europe, so I won't be able to respond to comments until tomorrow morning.

    “‘What size is he?’ Your mother was always better with sizes, always took you school clothes shopping.”

    See, this is why I hate reading books written by men LMFAOOOOO because what do you mean “better with sizes?!” Knowing your child’s clothing size is not a SKILL, it is a basic fact that a parent should know. Women can’t be “better” as sizes!!! It’s NOT A SKILL!!! 😭 Rather, women tend to be the primary caretaker who bring the child shopping, try on clothes to figure out sizes, launder the clothes, and then fold the clothes, and these are all times in which a parent learns their kid’s size.

    Men are so annoying, “better with sizes” like get out of here loser
