Looking for book suggestions on Kindle Unlimited primarily.  I am into everything from LitRPG, light/heavy fantasy or sci-fi, Wuxia, Thrillers, Jack Reacher types, Repairman Jack, Dresden Files etc.  Quick snip of my Kindle Library below.

 

Ignore the Untangled book, but if you have teenage daughters... MUST READ.  Cuz damn.

 

Preferably complete series though, as I am now waiting on authors who seem to want to never end their series 😞

Red Rising series by Pierce Brown, SciFi solar system fighting and politics, everytime I read some of the books I want to place space engineers and anything warhammer related lol

Brandon Sanderson, amazing author of all sorts of fantasy books with amazing world building (Stormlight Archive series alone has 5 books in them with 1000+ pages each of awesome in them)

 Wheel of Time series (14 books) though they got to be a bit long at times, great medieval fantasy series

For Sci-Fi, I have a few:

  • Alastair Reynolds: Revelation Space and the following books. First one is a bit rough imo (iirc it was also his first major novel), but they get better with each book. I liked Terminal World and House of Suns as well. He also has some YA novels that are actually not that bad.
  • Peter Hamilton's Commonwealth Sage and adjacent book
  • Dan Simmons Hyperion/Endymion and Ilium/Olympos
  • James Corey The Expanse series, if you are more interested in hard SF
  • Vernor Vinge: A Fire upon the Deep and A Deepness in the Sky 
  • Andy Weir 'The Martian', even if you've seen the movie, the book is still worth it with more details and its own sense of humor layered on top.

Otherwise a few more classics you might be interested in:

  • Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy. Not really canon anymore, but excellent stories from the Star Wards extended universe or whatever it is called now
  • Tom Clancy's The Hunt for Red October and other early Jack Ryan books are pretty good, actually. 
  • William Gibson: Neuromancer

Something totally different but might open up new areas of interest for you:

  • "Command and Control" by Eric Schlosser. A book that alternates between the history of nuclear weapon systems (and their safety) and a minute by minute account of the Damascus Titan missile explosion. This book sent me down a rabbit hole of understanding more about the early cold war and nuclear technology, I'd consider it a gateway drug to non-fiction books and history of the era.
  • "Neptune's Inferno" by James D. Hornfischer. Pretty much my gateway drug to naval history. It interweaves the history of the events and background/consequences with a lot of first person POV accounts of the events based on interviews with survivors, eyewitnesses and the latest in declassified/found documents. 
  • "Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark. A really humorous first hand account on the crazy stuff and experiments that happened in the 50s and 60s. Famous quotes such as
    • "It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively."
    • "Now it is clear that anyone working with rocket fuels is outstandingly mad. I don’t mean garden-variety crazy or a merely raving lunatic. I mean a record-shattering exponent of far-out insanity".
    • “a molecule with one reducing (fuel) end and one oxidizing end, separated by a pair of firmly crossed fingers, is an invitation to disaster.”
