I loved "Uhura's Song" and "My Enemy, My Ally." I was also quite fond of "The First Adventure," "Ishmael," "The Romulan Way," and (of course) "How Much for Just the Planet," which was the one ST novel I held on to when I sold or donated the rest of my (embarrassingly extensive) collection.
I tracked down "Kobayashi Maru" for Molly after we saw the reboot movie, and she liked it a lot. (I remembered it as decent; it turns out that none of the ST characters took that test in quite the conventional way. Scotty McGyvers his way out of the unwinnable situation or something like that, and -- my favorite option -- Sulu refuses to answer the distress call, saying that even if it's a legit call and not a trap, it's not worth potentially starting a war for a slim chance of saving a handful of people. Everyone tells their personal story to the others while on a dead and drifting shuttlecraft, or something like that.)
