Hey hey, AC, if you're more into urban fantasy with self-deprecating humor, I'd go for Mike's Keeper and Kyu. A LOT of fun.

If you want something darker, the first Doomsday's Book is standalone and gets pretty brutal.

Weeeeellll, Netanayu is still an asshole, and the T-monster is still vibing Stalin.
On the other hand, there are flowers in my garden, my dog loves me, and there's kids out there positioning themselves to improve history once they're on watch.
So I'd say, there's some light here, sure.

Two more battle scenes to write. Just two. Then my Working Draft is ready for its heavy edit. Can I knock this bad boy back under 120,000 words? Time will tell...

I tried so hard to get into this book. Just couldn't. Undeniably brilliant in its way, though.

Maybe I'll embody the "Homer Simpson backing into the hedge" gif here and just give the two volumes I have to a charity shop...

I think this one stands out because I normally can't abide a book series that goes longer than one book :D

Haven't tried the Expanse, though I should. The show was excellent. I have the first two GoT tomes on my shelf but I won't read them unless he completes the book series.

One of the few scifi series (longer than a trilogy) that kept me going till the end. A little draggy in books 4 and 5, but book 6 (not pictured) makes up for it.

Got a favorite series of your own?

I need to get back to this book. Got distracted at around 20%. It's very likeable.
