I started reading last year, mostly productivity stuff, but now I’m really looking to jump into fiction to unwind after a long week of uni, studying, and work. I need something to help me relax during the weekends without feeling like I’m working.

I’d love some recommendations for books that are short enough to finish in a day but still hit hard and are totally worth it. No specific genre preferences right now. I’m open to whatever. Looking forward to seeing what you guys suggest. Thank you very much in advance.

    The Expanse TV show is superb. I’m halfway through the books now, and in some ways the TV show is much better, in other ways the books are better.

    There’s enough subtlety and complexity that I’ve watched the entire series twice, and I wouldn’t be averse to watching it again.

      The books will likely please you for one reason alone. The Laconia story line that the show didn’t make it to.

      Also anybody that loves The Expanse should check out the Bobiverse.
