Are there books that surprised you by embracing a subject you are passionate about?

Aquillia's love of history and her Ph.D. in the political history of the fourth-century Roman Empire meet in Guy Gavriel Kay's Sarantine Mosaic duology. "It is perhaps unlikely that a fantasy can be such a successful exploration of a distinct historical period, but in this endeavor, Kay has been utterly successful."

I love cooking and feeding people and that does show up in a lot of books. The most surprising has been in Jessie Mihalik's sci-fi romance Hunt the Stars. There's space lasagna, space curry, and an alien charcuterie board. Tavi uses food and group meal times to build camaraderie between her crew and the formerly enemy squan they must work with. The second book in the series, Eclipse the Moon, out in July, also uses food to show caretaking. It made me so happy.
