Book tastes

She likes story, characters, and good writing. She likes all fiction genres. Surprise her :)
Her favorite books are Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix, and The House In the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune.

Don't get this!

The miscommunication trope
Badly written books, books that are too smut-focused

katemcangus: checked and ordered (Dec 8, 2023, 5:09pm)

katemcangus: We had to make adjustments because all of the books chosen were used and we don’t order used books for SantaThing. First we had to eliminate " To The Stars; (4 in 1) Between Planets, The Rolling Stones, Starman Jones, The Star Beast" by Robert A. Heinlein because it was only available used. Your Santa said about the book: "I loved all of these, and LibraryThing recommend Starman Jones for those who liked Project Hail Mary."

When we adjusted the prices the total was higher than you paid in and we had to remove another book: The Probability Broach by L. Neil Smith, about which your Santa said: "My favorite mysters/sci-fi/adventure. Don't google it before hand, every webpage I've seen gives away major protions of the plot. The rest in the series are worth skipping." We will add a replacement within budget. (Dec 8, 2023, 5:07pm)
