I had planned a different book for this prompt, but when I got a "skip-the-line" 7-day loan of Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir I really wanted to fit it in to this prompt. I couldn't find anything it really worked for out of this NATO list, but after finishing, I've managed to shoe horn it in using the work KILO. The main character is an American scientist and brings up multiple times how he thinks in both Imperial and Metric units.
1. What are you reading for this category?The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing by Sonia Faleiro
2. What codeword did you choose?
India
I read The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel as the title contains the required codeword, Hotel. Another tale that I would recommend is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl.
I read Vengeful by V.E. Schwab. The codeword is Victor, who is one of the main characters. I'd definitely recommend reading this, and the first in the series - Vicious.
