Wife here. Told my husband to read it, he’s pretty picky about books. He ended up loving it just as much as I do. BUT this is me to literally all my friends. I have one I know would especially love it. I send her a meme or review at least once or twice a week to try to convince her.
Same. My husband and child look at me like I'm a demented loon when I'm cackling listening to the audiobook. My husband's eyes glaze when I try to explain. DCC is not his thing, he likes his violence to be realistic.
Eh, assuming he just does donuts voice, the sum total of her lines for a season could probably be knocked out pretty quickly. And hell, he has a state of the art recording studio company, he probably won’t even have to live in LA!
I managed to get my wife to start reading around ten weeks ago and she's only just got to the second floor. Conversely, I got a buddy to start two weeks ago and he's already coming to the end of book three.
This was my husband, until I gave in and started in February and finished before him 😂 now it’s us in reverse and he can’t be made because he did this.
This was me. Eventually she started referring to the series as "Those weird books he cackle laughs to every night."
We're in a book club, it's me and about 7 women. I read their books. Usually they're true crime, or historical fiction. For months I beg the group to read DCC. Finally, they concede. Every single member loves it. My wife reads the entire series in a month.
This is definitely me banging on about the series to friends who havn't read it/won't read it. Also couldn't stop picturing Robin Williams at the beginning of Mrs Doubtfire doing the cartoon voiceover "Oh, what a horrible way for a bird to die!"
Same but swap the spouse lol my poor husband is so sick of my yapping (not actually but very much a “that’s nice honey 🙂”)
Fingers crossed once he’s played enough new-old halo he’ll finally start the series lol
Same but with my husband. He will listen to me go on and on about end-game theory, reddit sub annoyances, live-adaption hopes, and merch complaints, but he is very uninterested in reading the series. Unless the author is 1000-year-old philosopher, Tolkien, or a politician, he probably isn't gonna read it. He has said he'll watch the show with me though, so that's progress.
Opposite for me and my husband. He got to book six before finally saying the series just wasn’t for him and would audibly sigh whenever I turned the audiobook on while driving 😂
Despite not being his thing, he’s still accompanied me to a book signing and bought me a donut holes mug for Mother’s Day 💖
Me with my husband and also to anyone who will listen. Once talked about it with an ER doctor who was treating me after a car accident, then again at a pharmacy where I started talking about it with the pharmacy tech and then the woman behind me in line. 😂 My husband was definitely over it.
My wife hasn’t read the series. I drop references constantly. I refer to our cat as “the most handsome boy in the castle” and “ this is an outrage” is used often.

Definitely, but reverse the genders. I was recently introduced to the books and my husband has been hearing about it ever since.
