Hi there,\\nI heard you were looking for holiday recommendation requests. I would like to ask for readalikes for books like\\xa0Winter\\u2019s Orbit\\xa0by Everina Maxwell or A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland. (I\\u2019ve been really enjoying the \\u201cRed White & Royal Blue\\xa0but make it fantasy/scifi\\u201d trend lately.)\\nThank you,\\nMorgan\\n2. Hi Sharifah and Jenn,\\nI\\u2019m looking for SF/F gifting advice for my dad. He used to be a big fantasy reader when he was younger (some of his favorite authors were Ursula K. Le Guin and Terry Pratchett) but doesn\\u2019t read as much now. The last SF/F he read and loved was the Murderbot series. Do you have any SF/F recommendations that are fast-paced, on the shorter side, and possibly reminiscent of classic fantasy?\\nI love the podcast and particularly love that you recommend excellent new and backlist titles.\\nThank you,\\nEmma\\n\\nThis content contains affiliate links.
