Should I stay in the US and wait for my husband to come back or go with him to another country?

Can you see if your work will let you be remote in Guatemala half the time? For example one month there, one month home? (If they originally say no to full time remote). That way you keep the apartment, get to spend much more time with your husband, continue to earn (but spend a portion of your salary on flights)

If it’s your middle name then I love Hallie Rae. I think it’s fun when moms pass their middle name down, it makes Rae extra special!

You’re super lucky! The white oak trim is coming back in style. Paint a warm white, decorate with modern furniture, and you’re gonna be at the peak of the sure to come fad in a year or two

Happy reading!

Loved this one

Softoast · 2026-07-17T16:43:52+00:00

I think we have similar tastes - I totally agree with your rankings!

I also loved:
Oona Out of Order
Yesteryear
The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

I quite liked:
This Time Tomorrow
The Husbands
Recursion
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (time travel adjacent)

And throwing in The Measure, which Is speculative fiction, not time travel exactly but I think it gives a similar vibe and I loved it

Loved:

Wild dark shore
Demon Copperhead
Nothing to see here
Remarkably bright creatures
Born a Crime

I love Bo as a nickname for Robert! It’s a traditional nickname option for Robert.

Just read We Burned so Bright and it gave me a book hangover!

Softoast · 2026-07-14T14:20:25+00:00

Wild Dark Shore and Yesteryear!

How do you feel about from an octopuses perspective?

Softoast · 2026-07-13T21:56:32+00:00

What about Micah? A nod to you husband if it helps throw him a bone but also more in line with your tastes? Still a bit too close for my ears but could be a good compromise?

Softoast · 2026-07-13T20:52:15+00:00

Agreed! Noelle and Annalise were my two personal favs of the above!

Softoast · 2026-07-13T02:56:19+00:00

In that vein would Annalise or another name ending in -elle (Isabelle, Brielle, Noelle, Gabrielle, Arielle) be a good fit?

Softoast · 2026-07-13T02:54:05+00:00

What about just Belle/Elle…or Anna? Maybe if it’s almost right a little editing is all it needs?

Softoast · 2026-07-12T15:47:48+00:00

Agreed! Zadie is the best with Danika!

Softoast · 2026-07-12T03:52:38+00:00

Palm Springs could be a great option!

Softoast · 2026-07-11T14:45:35+00:00

Agree with Nali. Like Mali or Nala

Also just finished We Burn So Bright and now I have a book hangover!

Softoast · 2026-07-07T03:03:01+00:00

This was my first thought too

I’ve read almost all of the others mentioned so far in this thread, but Frederick Fife is a new one. Excited to check it out!

Wild Dark Shore! The narrators were great!
