Katherine Howe has written several, and they are all great!

Brunonia Barry has written some with Salem as the backdrop. She lives there and knows every inch, so her descriptions are accurate and intriguing!

I would ask her. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than receiving a book from someone that I don’t want and know I won’t read.

Just tuck a gift receipt in there so she can return if she wants to.

Yes, gift receipt, and tell her you absolutely won’t be offended if she exchanges them if she doesn’t like them or has already read them!

I agree with Brooke. When someone gets me a GC I truly enjoy hunting with this “found” money.

There is also this book, but I haven’t read it so I don’t know if it’s any good.

Thank y’all for the suggestions.
I’m printing out the titles of your suggestions and asking which books she’d like for her birthday. Then I can choose a selection from her list and the books she receives will still be a surprise for her birthday.

That is perfect! She’ll enjoy that better than something you randomly choose and will appreciate the thoughtfulness that you looked for books on her favorite topic.
