That's a good point; I don't like all of those books either, but they are neither formulaic, nor genre, nor part of a series; they are all basically literary fiction. (With some classics thrown in, possibly due to the difficulty of consistently finding books that she was willing to endorse. Which is a good thing; I'll pay a lot more attention to a list of "good books" chosen as they are discovered than to a list containing the best book in a particular month, regardless of the absolute quality of the book.
