MODERATORS
The TNG Technical Manual is practically a necessity.
I have most of the Discovery and Picard tie-ins. They're generally pretty good - the one I wouldn't necessarily recommend is "The Way to the Stars", which is about Tilly when she was sixteen. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it reads like a book for teenage girls, and I am...not that. My favourite of the bunch is probably the Picard prequel "The Last Best Hope", which I really enjoyed.
In terms of older stuff, I have a good chunk of the New Frontier series, but fell away from it over time. The four-part Dominion War series from the 90s is interesting, but I would only recommend the TNG instalments, as the DS9 ones are just novelizations of a few episodes.
I also remember owning and reading "Best Destiny, but I really don't remember it.
The cover of "Dead Endless" is a little deceiving - it's really a Culber story, as it covers what happened to him while he was trapped in the mycelial plane after being murdered by Voq. Obviously, that also means Stamets is featured pretty heavily, but...well, it's not what you would expect. In a good way, I think.
