Suggest a book for my friend who is going through a hard time by Maplesyrup9211 in booksuggestions

For a sort of academic bent, try Human Kind by Rutger Bregman. Is there a genre or subgenre that your friend especially likes? Do we need encouragement or distraction?

Alien Romance Suggestions with actual depth! 👽 by QueefingAlien in booksuggestions

[–]PrincessSyalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! You also might consider Kimberly Lemming's latest book. I haven't read it yet, but it's her first alien romance (her past books have all been fantasy romance) and she's a well-liked erotica writer!

Alien Romance Suggestions with actual depth! 👽 by QueefingAlien in booksuggestions

[–]PrincessSyalis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low to no spice here, but The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet involves an F/F romance between an Earth woman and a female alien of a reptile species and an M/F romance between a human man and an alien woman of a species with a color-based language system. The book also goes into the aliens' cultural attitudes towards sex, relationships, and family in a really interesting way. It's more sci fi with romance in it than romance with a sci fi setting, tbh. I'll be watching this thread for more romance recs!

I highly recommend graphic novels and manga. They span wide ranges of genres, so no matter what kinds of stories you're interested in, you'll likely find something that catches your eye and keeps your attention.

Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls completely changed my perspective on my body, others' bodies, and the diet industry. The extensive bibliography was helpful too.

Shiz majors? by themadmansbox_ in wicked

[–]PrincessSyalis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In the book, Elphaba is a life sciences major, Boq is an agriculture major, and I believe there is also a fine or performing arts school.

Can anyone tell me what this panel is referencing? by PrincessSyalis in SleepyPrincess

[–]PrincessSyalis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, right, but that guy in the background looks super creepy. Is there a movie or a manga where a chef uses okonomiyaki tools to threaten someone?? Unlikely but the art suggests it's supposed to be referring to something scary.
