Some of these sound interesting too.

In my home galaxy, one of my favorites was about a Chiss who's sent undercover by his people to foil the plans of a Syndic who plans to sell weapons and spice during his stay in another section of the galaxy.

They're amazing. Especially the one about the Kennedy assassination. It was like a--a breaking point in my country's history. There was Before and there was After, but there wasn't any in-between.

Hmm. I can't identify it right off of the top of my head, but give me a minute....[about ten minutes pass]--ah! I've found something similar, at least? Chiss and Syndic aren't your usual points of reference back home? I can't pronounce the authors' names, but they're here.

Really? I'm assuming this Kennedy person was very important for his assassination to be such a big deal.

[He's picturing someone like the Emperor or Jedi Grandmaster, or the Supreme Chancellor. Their assassinations would be a big deal in his world.]

The Chiss are blue-skinned, red-eyed aliens from the Unknown Region. Many people find them creepy but I've never had a problem with them, and the Syndics are like their politicians. I think. But that's besides the point.

Yeahhhhh. He was the oldest brother out of a family of politically minded brothers. Jack Kennedy was the first and only to make it to the top, but he had his head blown off even before my mom was a kid."

[it apparently was a big deal for the Earths that she's heard of. most seem to have them, but where the diffraction point is? halla. she's heard rumors about them, but has never seen in person. neither has anyone else from any Earth she's found]

Then I definitely have something in store for you. [she turns one of the books over in her hand] I'll admit, I didn't see this coming but. I'm glad it did.
