Reply to comment by WhenRobLoweRobsLowes in Is it a good idea to gift "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold to someone? by WolfD_red
Glad I ask here first. Do you have any idea which book I can give her instead?

Sorry, books are often very personal choices, so random suggestions aren't helpful.
Only thing I would say is give her a book that you personally loved with a note that says just that: "This may not be your speed, but I loved this book and hope you will too."

It's okay but I am new on reading books, I finished 3 books, two, we both read with our friend group. He's Into Her and One of us is lying then 1984 by George Orwell which I doubt she would like. I am currently reading Dune by Frank Herbert.

Maybe fo a "voucher" for a book buddy experience, she picks the book you'll buy the books and read it at the same time

What books have you read that you enjoyed?

I am new on reading books compared to her. The books that I enjoyed are 1984 by George Orwell, One of us is lying and he's into her which both, we read and discussed with our circle of friends. I am really struggling to give her anything as I know our friend group would give her colleen hoover's book and I don't want to give her a duplicate.

Sounds like you're into sci-fi. Is that something that might also interest her? Maybe a sci-fi novel written by a woman...? You can never go wrong with Ursula K Le Guin, imo

I would ask this on r/suggestmeabook also explaining something about her interests
