Dude, start The Expanse, trust me. 🖤

You can take a break between each book, they wrap up nicely, and it's easy to pick it back in again in the next one. 🥰

I got you 🖤

But in another thread ofc, because my brain is absolutely friend 🫠🤣

I probably can recommend some more, but fried brain goes brrrr 🤣
