This is one of my favorite series and I'm always looking for more like it too :D The one thing I read that I think comes the closest is the comic Always Human by Ari North. It's set on Earth and there are no aliens but it's a slice of life sci-fi with that same positive vision of a future where things are generally pretty good. It centers around a f/f relationship but spends just that much time on the main characters' own personal issues, their relationships with friends and family and just finding their way in life in general. I've read it earlier this year and really enjoyed it. It can be read on webtoon and I think there's at least one print volume too.

Hail Mary by Andy Weir was pretty good if you're feeling the need for like slice of life but also plot.

Every book I read by Becky Chambers becomes a new favorite 💜. I’ve never found anything else exactly like her vibes. I did really enjoy Ryka Aoki’s Light From Uncommon Stars. I recently picked up Under Fortune Stars by Ren Hutchings and The First Sister by Linden Lewis in a search for similar vibes. Hoping for a new favorite :-).

[@cefwyn7878]

I have this but still haven't read it. Sigh... I found the lighting much better - it's easier to focus on your face rather than the purple background. Dark can be cosy but the colours are too monochrome to be cosy. The current lighting leaches all warmth from your complexion. However, so much easier on the eye now. For me at least.

I ADORE this series. I credit the third book for helping me process and deal with my father’s deal n a healthy way.

[@hellomelloyello]

I read the third book shortly after loosing my mom and whew! it sent me into a tailspin but also really helped me put it in perspective.

Of all the Wayfairers books, Closed and Common Orbit is my favorite, I think. I do really love Long Way to a Small Angry Planet, but there's something about this plot that feels more closely put together or more tidy? It's just a super satisfying read.

[@anneriekebeckmann1839]

I love this series. And honestly it was your review that made me pick up "The long road to a small angry planet" quite some time ago. Thank you!!! . And I recently finished "The galaxy and the ground within" which is the fourth one - which you still have to look forward to. Trust me it's another 5 star read. I will definitely read more by Becky Chambers.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

Aw yay! I’m so glad you loved it!

[@charitykelly6396]

Sounds great!

[@AbiofPellinor]

I really need to delve more into Becky Chambers!

[@hellomelloyello]

Ok but tell me you loved how fascinating Aeluon gender/sexuality/reproduction habits are! I am still so obsessed.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

yessss that and their communication?? obsessed.

[@lorifunorie1056]

Becky Chambers cures my anxiety for a little while when reading her books. Any of her books.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

Agreed!

[@annesbookishcorner]

I adore the Wayfarers series so much! It’s my favourite series of all time and I’ve yet to encounter any sci-fi that gives me the same feeling. Have you read A Psalm for the Wild-Built already? It’s just as magnificent, I think! 😍

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

I have! Definitely another 5 star read for me.

[@tropicaltuna]

Too dark!

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

I have since switched the lighting up again and I think it'll be better lol
