Hey everyone, i am very lucky (eeeh) to participate in Secret Santa at work and it's really urgent cuz they moved the date to 3 weeks earlier than previously thought.
I am very new, and the lady i gotta make a gift for is currently not in office and i talked to her like 2 times. We cannot share with each other who we got so i can't ask anyone 🙁
She asked for an "interesting book to read in the evenings"
She's a judge. She's in her 50s, shes very elegant and eloquent, seemed very clever when i talked to her, she seemed pretty sophisticated but also humorous, I am pretty sure she's a literature major but not sure. I have no idea what such persona could find interesting, I'd probably wanna avoid typically work related books but idk!!
Thank you for reccomendations!!

Watership Down by Richard Adams. A group leaves their home in search of safety. Great book for all types.
Davita’s harp by Chaim Potok
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier
Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt
Or go with something fun like Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid that really leans on the making of the Rumours album by Fleetwood Mac. A lady in her 50’s might enjoy that! Or her latest Atmosphere which will invoke memories of the 1980’s space program – especially the Challenger (but does feature same sex relationships, so might not work for a certain type of person).
You could buy the book, and some cozy reading socks or something like that.
I’d get a book by Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine. (Both names are the same author). They are smart books (crime) but also fun reads that I think would please a sophisticated reader as entertaining evening reading material that she requested.
I’m gonna go with The Hollow Kingdom by Kira jane Buxton because i will bet it is a book she has not already read but will definitely enjoy. It’s quirky, funny, but most of all smart & witty.
