nerdy fedi!

can I have some book recommendations???

I went on a biiiig warhammer 40k lore kick end of last year and read like so many of the books and really enjoyed the grimdark sci-fi aspect of those, but I like most spacey sci-fi stuff - more of this pleeeease

@theresnotime for things that I haven't seen in the answers yet (although +1 on anything Becky Chambers and a half-built garden, although definitely not grim dark) - The Expanse (Corey), The Collapsing Empire (Scalzi), Lady Astronaut (Kowal), Planetfall (Newman), Old Man's War (Scalzi as well), possibly Noumenon (Lostetter, but I haven't read the third one yet)
