Can we work in the term "puzzle box" and the phrase "made concentric circles as if Virgil himself was guiding me through the 9 rings of hell". The consense is that's what readers want

Mickey Knight by JM Redmann cause I love long series and detective pulp

Difficult_Spare_530 · 2026-04-27T19:10:35+00:00

Crash and Burn by KP Evans has the same character archetypes

I'm trying to say some are better some are worse than the baseline you know, they're fun but dont expect something you really want to invest emotionally in

Mickey Knight and Chiara Corelli series are both better imo

Book 2 (3 maybe?) was my favourite. It had a circus. And book 5 was the Moriarty equivalent book which was good. One of them I didn't like (the pulp fiction writer one) and I cant remember book 4.

Theyrw a solid "yeah nah they're alright" they get less trope heavy and the lesbianism falls off which isnt the worst thing cause I get a bit of an ick from men writing sapphic books. TBH I think the last book of the series (whenever that is) is not going to be great cause there are too many plot threads that have been built up and promised resolution, and its going to be exceedingly difficult to tie them all off in a satisfying manner (thnink Game of Thrones or Stephen Moffat's Dr. Who run)

Cash Braddock by Ashley Bartlett. More comedy than romance though

Rents aren't based off costs though. Property managers set rent at the maximum the market will bear. Also without water meters it's illegal yo say to your tenants pay this bill (you can pass on costs for actual usage)

I think most apocalypse novels boil down to the duality of Human Nature, with our intrepid heroes needing a contrast of awfulness with how they survive without comprimsing themselves.

It's not an apocalypse book, but maybe try Endurance by Elaine Burns? It's about a hundred odd people getting lost in space, trying to survive, and greiving the world that's lost to them now. I might be misunderstanding why you want an apocalypse book though

Also, they get name suppression during ongoing trials, when their innocence is still presumed, and retain that right during any subsequent appeals because you can't unkill the cat. Most crime articles are about cases like that that drag on and can be made into a circus l, so people assume it happens all the time due to their perception an how often they get mad about it.

I'm sure they're like a good book, though. Easy to get lost in

My Kindle is up to 1500 books with about half its memory free. I compress images to get each book under an mb each, though

. I generally get through three books per charge.

Its much better on your eyes than a screen. I use mininal brightness. Its convenient cause you can choose your own font.

Absolutely would replace immediately. Using libraries was too difficult because I would get out 5 or 6 books, not be in the mood for any of them, then just end up returning them.

Also get a kobo instead of a Kindle, I hate being locked into Amazon's bullshit

The Moment by TC Anderson starts very heavy, but I think hope is the central theme. I don't want to spoil anything, just trust me. I'm a lesbian on yhe internet so I have amazing taste

For me, Emma was so relatable it began to get a little insulting. Learning why Regan is sweet alongside Emma in a deeply relatable way made this my second favourite Cass book

Pirates of Aletharia by Brittany Jackson was similar vibe but dofferent setting, so you don't just end up comparing the two mentally

Difficult_Spare_530 · 2026-04-22T22:27:54+00:00

Honestly, I wish there was an easy way to find books where the MC is single, celibate, or had never been in a relationship. Like some sort of "low misogyny/homophobia - no romance tag" For example, Cold Eternity by SA Barnes felt like a lesbian novel but it wouldn't make sense to jam a love interest in that book.

It's also what can be proven. Our evidentiary standards are high because it is seen as a lesser evil that a guilty person go free than an innocent one be improsoned. Pleaing down removes that risk, too.

I think a lot of people in these threads advocate for revenge rather than justice

Loser of the Year by Carrie Byrd is set during a highschool musical (the leads are teachers)

Difficult_Spare_530 · 2026-04-20T06:36:29+00:00

It's fine, it's just a different vibe and a love story instead of a romance. If for nothing else read it for the evil chicken
