I'll be away from home for four weeks and would like to pick a great book to read together with my wife, who will be home with our daughter during that period. She and I will both be working and relatively busy and in different timezones, so something we could finish reading on average 15mins a day would be awesome. We generally enjoy reading but haven't been reading the same book for a while, so it would be fun to be able to discuss chapters and go through the story at roughly the same pace.
We're not super picky about genres and we're open to try something out of our comfort zone. However, she doesn't enjoy (very) high fantasy and (very) hard scifi, and "girl leaves the big city and starts a bakery/library/cupcake shop" books are a bit too much for me. The last time we did something like this we picked the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, which turned out great. We also enjoyed Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin a lot recently.
Many thanks!!

What a lovely idea! If you haven’t read the Murderbot series by Martha Wells yet, they’re very approachable but also raise some interesting ideas which would be great to discuss. The first book (*All Systems Red*) is a novella so you should definitely finish it, and if the end comes too soon you can always start the next book. They’re very popular for good reason
