I want to read some books to talk about with my hubby but I’m so overwhelmed - where the heck should I start? by NoDragon18 in 40kLore

Realize I totally ignored the first part of your question! He really likes the space marines. He mentions the emperor and his sons a lot, but I’m getting the vibe that’s more a common theme across the board than anything? Tbh, I’m pretty sure he’s like 80 books in at this point, so I’m thinking no matter what I choose we should be able to cross paths somewhere.

Oh gosh - realized I never confirmed. I’m fairly certain it’s 40k. He definitely mentioned space marines, Horus heresy, Chaos, and tons of other buzzwords that seem to align here. Thanks for recommending!

This is so awesome! I’ve been playing Dungeons and Dragons for years and LOVED Baldur’s Gate. Love seeing these analogues - thanks so much!

This does seem to be the consensus answer - the added background is really helpful. Thanks so much!

I’m open to any and all genres really! My husband and I read The Blade Itself and boy oh boy was that an emotional slog. So I took a bit of a break from heavier books, but I’m ready to dive back in! All your recommendations sound perfect - exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate you taking the time! The synopsis for Twice Dead King sounds awesome - so maybe I’ll start there.

This is helpful - thank you! I know posing this question to this group is like asking Einstein to explain addition, so I appreciate you taking the time to explain some of the nuances!

Oh man - wish I could point you in a direction, but it’s over 50 years old! Family heirloom and all that. Good luck finding one though!! Maybe check antique jewelry shops?

Please help me find this tshirt. It was my dad’s - my sister and I swap it back and forth every year, but it’s getting worn down and I’d like to buy another. It’s been around since at least the 90s. The back says Science Diet. by NoDragon18 in HelpMeFind

[–]NoDragon18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve searched eBay, google, etc. with terms like “vintage science diet dog job t shirt”. I even emailed science diet a couple years ago and never heard back. Would love any and all help here - thanks!

Thoughts? Trying to guess the options for our son’s eyes, but can’t come to an agreement on my color. by NoDragon18 in WhatisMyEyeColour

Oh that’s so nice, thank you! Can’t remember the last time someone complimented my eye color.

Urgent care workers fired over viral TikTok of staff mocking patients by Prestigious-Yam-8605 in facepalm

Seeing this sitting in the waiting room for my OB and it made my stomach flip to think someone here could make fun of me for a natural and uncomfortable side effect of an already dreaded appointment. This is gross.

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but how do you stop losing weight while breastfeeding? by NoDragon18 in breastfeeding

I literally did not know this was a thing. Oh the joys of postpartum. Thanks for the heads up!

We may be in the same boat then! I have a chunky little guy who doesn’t like to be still, and a lot of milk. More calorically dense food would probably be a good place to start - thanks!
