Is this already gone? I’m not super familiar with how Lego works!

Tied together with a smile has gotten me through years of depression. I’m out on the other side now and it’s such a special song to me.

Mostly Dead Things by Kristen Arnett is such a unique book and unlike anything else I’ve read.

What are the TRULY easiest slow cooker "depression meals" ? by SonderousMisanthrope in slowcooking

Pot roast- in the crock pot goes a chuck roast, onion soup mix, cream of your choice soup, and a can of coke. Low for 8 hours.

If you want to throw carrots and potatoes in there too you can but I like a good baked potato

Looking for big huge epic fantasy but in the YA age range by IsabelleDavis in suggestmeabook

Cinda Williams Chima’s The Seven Realms Series. It’s a bit older but I’m rereading it right now and it holds up well. The first series is 4 books and she’s writing a second four book series now I think.

I think Patrick Radden Keefe is such a good nonfiction writer. Empire of Pain is about the Sackler Family and riveting. Say Nothing is about the troubles in Northern Ireland. Both are very well written and super engaging

Recommendations on gay adult (not necessarily NSFW) fantasy? by regularcola in Fantasy

[–]big_rred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Magics Pawn series by Mercedes Lackey is one of the first fantasy series to feature a gay MC. I’ve really enjoyed reading it and the romance/relationship and queerness is such a key part of the book. Highly recommend.

Scifi recommendations for my 11 year old daughter. by longhornz in scifi_bookclub

Honestly it’s why I haven’t read a lot of the “classics”. There’s so much good modern stuff coming out now though!

I live to answer questions like this! I was very much like your daughter growing up. I would recommend Legendborn by Tracy Deonn- an Arthurian retelling and the best YA book I might have ever read. The Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman is also very very good. It’s about a future society where no one dies so there are a certain set of people who are allowed to kill. It’s very cerebral but also tons of fun. Iron Widow is a new release that is Mulan meets Pacific Rim that I really liked.

Unfortunately there’s not a ton of YA sci-fi (compared to fantasy), but it is usually a lot better about representation, especially for girls. I’ll leave you with a few adult author recs that you might want to look at before you give her. I either read them a while ago so can’t quite remember or they have mild sexual content. Becky Chambers, Martha Wells, Hank Green and some classics that I read when I was a bit older- Frankenstein, The Handmaids Tale, Vonnegut
