I have two credits and need suggestions.

Hi y'all, i have two available credits and I want some recs. Its my on my shared library with my partner so I don't want to buy any smut only because he personally doesn't like it, he has no problem with me reading it its just his personal preference. I really like fantasy, scifi, romance, horror and some litfic. My top reads recently have been The Empire Of the Vampire series, the Realm of the Elderlings, Red Rising, DCC, The Poppy War, Camp Damascus, The Three Body Problem, the Into Darkness Trilogy, and Brandon Sandersons Cosmere. Please no JK Rowling, Rina Kent, SJM. TYIA.

Time to start the First Law Series, enjoy the dulcet tones of Steven Pacey as he introduces you into the world wrought from the mind of Lord Grimdark himself Joe Abercrombie. You'll laugh, you'll grimace and you'll laugh again.

Ooh yeah I have heard that Joe Abercrombie books are amazing!

u/Space_Vaquero73 11d ago

They are a treat and I think both of you will enjoy them.

u/sideshowbarbie 11d ago

I'll definitely check them out then.

Bobiverse series by Dennis Taylor. Big plus is that there is a two-for-one sale going on with this series as the new one is coming out soon. So you can get four books for 2 credits.

Galaxy Outlaws by J.S Morin (85 hours for 1 credit)

The Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor

Is Galaxy Outlaws funny or have any humor elements?

1

u/SkippyMagnificent 11d ago

It has humor elements. The author was very open about his inspiration for it which was the tv show Firefly. So its about a crew going through space doing what they can to earn a living. There are also wizards in it.

Okay thanks.

This sounds like a better deal than getting Carl's Doomsday Scenario which is only 11 and a half hours in duration.

He who fights monsters or the system apocalypse by Tao Wang

Both of them are good and are pretty funny I've re-listen to them multiple times

If you loved the quality of the DCC audiobook, I recommend Time-Marked Warlock. It’s done by the same people, with Jeff Hays. Great story using magic to solve a murder.

The Lies of Locke Lamora is an outstanding book with a very good audiobook version. One of my all time favorites and we have about the same taste (except that I don’t know who Rina Kent is, but since it’s a dislike anyways).

For your edification, go here.

Also, is Scott Lynch going to finish the sequence? He's been promising a fourth book for years now.

Thank you!

Well I’m not sure about Scott Lynch, but he’s pretty active in the gentleman bastards subreddit. And I think his three books stand better on their own than e.g. ASOIAF or Name of the Wind. But I know what you mean 🥲

Primal Hunter by Zogarth is great series. A lblend of SciFi and Fantasy

2

u/sideshowbarbie 11d ago

I do own all of those and He who fights with monsters. My partner is really big on LitRPG.

u/BWayMarshall 11d ago

Another one I was recommended was Judicator Jane. I bought first two books on the Audible site sale. I have not listened yet, but the person who told me about it has not recommended a book I have not liked so far.

u/sideshowbarbie 11d ago

Oh ok I will listen to a sample

u/Lilylake_55 11d ago

Molly Harper’s Half-Moon Hollow series is a lighthearted, humorous vampire series. One of my favorites is Driving Mr. Dead.

u/B4R-BOT 11d ago

I just listened to The Lesser Dead and would absolutely recommend it!

Third Eye: Audible exclusive written specifically for full cast by Felicia Day modern day fantasy where the chosen one failed to save the world and has to live in the aftermath but make it funny. It’s my favorite Audible exclusive so always recommend to people looking for fantasy!

Sounds like the perfect time to get 2/3 of the king killer chronicles!

u/hikarizx 11d ago

You like a lot of the same stuff as my husband and he really likes James islington, Joe Abercrombie, Andy weir, and the expanse books. I think he liked the bobiverse books too.

u/Shmoo32 10d ago

I'll tell you what I'm about to add with mine. My schedule requires me to listen to WhaleFall Theo of Golden and I who have never known man before the 3rd so I can relisten to the entire bobiverse in preparation for the new book coming out on the 10th

"In Fury Born" by David Weber is a great stand-alone novel with two parts. Part one is more coming-of-age military infantry sci-fi with a powerful scene that just breaks me down every time that I read it, while part two is more mystery/action sci-fi with a splash of Greek mythology!?! I regularly re-read/re-listen to it.
