I'm looking to buy new queen size sheets and enjoy a soft, smooth feel on a budget less than $150. What should I go for? I see a lot of brands on amazon like Bedsure that are best sellers are these the ones to go for? What should I look out for in terms of materials and what should I avoid?

I also usually just use the fitted sheet on the raw mattress, but learned you're supposed to have a protector. Are you supposed to use a protector and is it beneficial or does it take away from the memory foam mattress? Anyone have any good budget protector recommendations.

Any novel or we novel recommendations for beginners. I enjoy SciFi and Fantasy and have mainly read manga and manhwa with some traditional SciFi novels (reading red rising, finished project hail Mary). I've read a lot of manhwa from a wind range of genres like magic and murim, I'm just looking for what people would think would be a good point for me to start reading more novels or web novels. I have no direction on what I want to start with. Any recommendations, sorry if the post is sparse with info.

Is there anything to look out for when getting one or is a general basic no brand, power delivery cable going to be fine. Should I look out for data transfer speeds (thunderbolt or something), cable length, usb version, etc? Or again would a general no name amazon or aliexpress cable work or should I spend more for a reputable ugreen, anker, or any other recommendations?
