l0rdtr3k: Which series do you recommend?
That's a hard question to answer. It all depends on your tastes and preferences. I prefer the Imperial Guard novels more, but many prefer the Space Marine novels over the Imperial Guard novels. What kind of 40K books are you looking for?

Some of the Imperial Guard novels are quite good for people new to the lore. What have you read so far?

Haven't read any books due to being almost impossible to find in Brazil.
All I know is from TVTropes,Vaults of Terra and the 40K wiki.

The Ciaphas Cain novels are quite good for those new to the series. Other books that are easy for those new to the lore is Rebel Winter, Commissar, Fifteen Hours, Relentless and Ice Guard. They are all Imperial Guard novels, but they are not too deep in lore, so it's easier to follow and they make good military Sci-Fi novels. There are probably others, and maybe others that are better, but these are the ones I can remember off the top of my mind. Just keep in mind that the writing is nothing incredible, so don't expect a masterpiece when you read them, just a nice and easy read.
Gotta take my money and go thrifting. Maybe I'll get lucky and find one book(gotta be REALLY lucky).
But I can rely on you and some other sources for lore. And since I love military sci-fi(Starship Troopers is one of my faves) I guess I'll enjoy the Imperial Guard novels afterall,I love the Guard mostly thanks for Winter Assault and Final Liberation.

I like Starship Troopers as well. The book was a lot better than the movie, IMO. It did feel like it wasn't finished, or that there was supposed to be a squeal, but that never materialised. But it was still a good read.

I do know the movie. And she was a cool mummy as well, so you also have that in common. :-)

I like the movie. The effects are awesome and I feel it captured the mood of the novel.
But I need more military sci fi,it's my favourite genre in books. What else can I read?

I wasn't keen on the movie. It changed the story too much and made it a soppy romance film with tacky plot elements. I don't like it when they make a movie adaptation of a book and then just ruin things by changing the plot too much. Just like they did with the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. The Lord of the Rings movies were okay, but a lot was missing or changes, and the Hobbit, from what I have heard, is just a mess compared to the book.

If you are looking for book recommendations, have you ever tried Good Reads? If you register and tell it what books you like, it will generate recommendations for you, as well as showing user reviews and stuff like that. There are also lots of lists that users make with different categories, such as military Sci-Fi. It's a site owned by Amazon, and so it also link to Amazon as well, where you can get a free sample on most ebooks (which you can read on a Kindle, a Kindle app on iOS or Android, or you can read it through your browser), which gives you a feel for the quality of the novel.

So are you saying you're not a cool mummy? I can't believe that. I think most mums are cool to their kids, especially when they are younger. Then they reach their teens and rebel, but once they become adults they see just how cool mums are. At least that's what I think about my mum, she's awesome. :-)

I wish my kids grow up happy and healthy, and that they'll still love me and visit me when they're adults... :"p
Your mom is lucky ; she has an awesome daughter !! :-)
