I’m sure your marriage is based on more than your ability to not fall.

Even if he was born in 1512, and you were born in 1985, it’s still an age gap romance.

Cover of Far Sector by N.K. Jemisin Jmall Campbell and Deron Bennett

Cover of Far Sector by N.K. Jemisin Jmall Campbell and Deron Bennett

Between seriously cool sci fi world building, beautiful art, a painfully relevant message and one of the most interesting casts of characters, Far Sector might just be the best DC graphic novel I've ever read. #comicsky #FarSector

You don’t have to save your 5 stars for a rainy day.

If you love a book, give it all the love in that review, talk about it, shout about it to the sky.

10/10

I have no doubt he will be suggesting books to me in a couple months.

😌 it might have taken a little over 2 years, but it was worth it.

9/?

We went to the library and got library cards.

Obviously, I made him get Libby.

He looked so excited πŸ˜† when he saw so many books in the series.

My master plan worked, after this I’ll suggest a few more Litrpg to him.

8/?

It finally came last week, I introduced him to He Who Fights with Monsters.

My brother loved it as I knew he would, after all, I spent the last 2 years building this foundation.

7/?

All I needed was to wait a bit more, the moment where he had time at his disposal but didn’t want to listen to world news.

The wait was worth it as I built a story about the different books I was reading that he would like.

6/? But this was perfect. The desire for books was there, I just needed to wait.

It took six months of research and reading to find several series that would cater to his new desire for fantasy.

5/? In a matter of months, my brother was no longer asking for recommendations, he was giving his own.

Obviously I was proud, but now I was already a year and a half into this plan.

I needed him to move to audiobooks, but he is a workaholic and didn’t have the time.

4/? The next part of my plan had to be carefully carried out.

I needed him to become interested in fantasy and scifi.

Mechs weren’t gonna do it, but Murim absolutely did.

South Korea to the rescue.

3/? A few months later, my brother told me all he had caught up on all his mangas.

I suggested reading manhwa and manhuas.

This was my plan, to show him different genres and create a demand for more creative stories.

2/? Several years ago, my brother complained about his anime taking forever to get to the good parts.

This was the spark that ignited my grand plan.

I suggested reading the manga.
