I vote for Men at Arms, as I adore the Watch. I myself haven't even read the first Watch book because I can never find it in the library.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Yeah, pretty much. She was a huge influence on a lot of people, even if a lot of us aged out (and society progressed rather faster than even she expected).

Because books.
My mom is now reading The Hunger Games. She finished the first book, and actually made my dad come out in the rain last night to get Catching Fire. Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Has anyone read Dante Valentine? I've gotten a recommendation from it, but it's from someone on whom I differ on The Vampire Diaries (she thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, I think it's fun disposable entertainment), so I'm not sure where this might fall.

The author's been kicking around the romance world for a while. Which is fine, but I'm not sure the writing is necessarily going to be your thing. That said, I've not read her, so take that with a grain of salt. You'd probably think the series was pretty similar to Vampire Diaries, in entertainment value.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think Deena recommended that author to me at one point, but I haven't read them myself.

I high-five your mom.
Oh! Hey! Guess what I bought for my Kindle yesterday, Amy, and then was REALLY GLAD I HAD when I got stuck in the world's longest pedicure wait (mmm, prunetoes). Yes, I now have Cold Kiss in book AND electronic format.

Aw! Yay!
Not the prunetoes, though.
