If you loved the sharp wit and tongue-in-cheek humor of Max's escapades (think dinosaur mishaps and snarky banter with Leon) in Just One Damned Thing After Another, you'll be delighted by Thursday Next's literary sleuthing in The Eyre Affair, where the humor is just as quick and the absurdity deliciously British.

If you enjoy the sense of purpose and mission-driven plotlines—like Max's urgent trips to save history and her team—in Just One Damned Thing After Another, you'll find Doomsday Book equally gripping as Kivrin embarks on a perilous time-travel assignment that becomes a race against disaster.

If Max's sometimes reckless, rule-bending approach and moral ambiguity drew you in, you'll love Murderbot in All Systems Red. Like Max, Murderbot is deeply relatable, makes tough decisions, and often chooses the lesser evil while delivering snarky commentary.

If you were charmed by Max and the entire St. Mary's crew, you'll be equally invested in the Wayfarer crew's witty banter, misadventures, and found-family dynamic in The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Each character shines, making the group feel like a real, if slightly dysfunctional, family.

If the time-traveling chaos and the emotional impact of visiting pivotal historical events in Max's story resonated with you, Kindred offers a powerful, immersive journey as Dana is pulled back in time, confronting personal and historical challenges in deeply affecting ways.
