I have no experience with this type of thing, but my personal feelings are that (if she likes them) you might want to focus on Science Fiction and Fantasy types of books rather than "Contemporary." Contemporary describes books that take place in our own time and in real places, which she is currently cut off from.

Alternatively, you can send her several different types and then ask her which she liked. Amazon and other retailer's pages usually show you more books like the one you are looking at, which could help you find more of the ones she likes. Or if you aren't comfortable shopping online, a local librarian should be able to suggest similar books.

It might also be a good time to start one or more series that have lots of books in them.

Good Luck and Good Wishes.
