Recipient is not the account.
Gift is for: Jacob (12 yo son)
Book tastes
Jacob really likes fantasy and some sci-fi. He is open to branching out from those for the right books. Some books and authors he has liked include: Dune, Brandon Sanderson (the Cosmere), the Dresden Files, The name of the Wind.
He would especially like it if you could find some good non-fiction in the vain of "The disappearing spoon" and "the poisoner's handbook"
Don't get this!
Anything already in my library. Brandon Sanderson (he has read every book he as written already). Anything with Romance as a primary part of the plot
Other notes
You can see a lot of what he likes in the "jacob's room" collection under my account

He might also like Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" or Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere." (Nov 26, 2023, 1:29am)
He seemed to like astronomy, The Last Stargazers by Emily Levesque is nonfiction about her experiences as an astrophysicist, and it’s written in a way that’s understandable but not overly simplified.
I saw he read What If? The sequel, What If 2, has my name in it. (Nov 25, 2023, 1:29pm)
