Books

Ooh, thanks for the recommendations! I haven't read any of those yet.

I love scifi but have always struggled as some, especially some of the classic scifi authors, seem to write women pretty strangely. Just takes me out of it. My favorite scifi book recently has been Moonbound (not romance, just a great book IMO).

My current scifi/romance read is The Veridian Priestess. A little explicit, but it gives dune/chronicles of riddick vibes with a heavy space religion plot. For me it's also a local author which is always cool. I also have heard really good things about "Of Monsters and Mainframes". But yea, kinda sucks how some people view it. As a guy I've gotten a few sideyes from other men, but I've also had the occasional guy who also likes it. Bit of a mixed bag.

Honestly I have more of a complex over not reading 'proper literature', but I decided a while back that it's better to read for fun than to not read at all.

Edit: While we're talking about shitty books, behold the worst book I've ever read 3/4's of: He Who Fights With Monsters.

Had a friend swear up and down it was incredible, ended up sending him a mini dissertation on how unbelievably bad it was. Didn't realize it started as a Wattpad story when I read it. 😬
