I wonder if she had had more time to ruminate if the book wouldn't have been better.

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."
OK, so msbelle back in... November? December? helped me go through a lot of books and decide if I really needed them. I had too many books (and nowadays have many of them as ebooks).
But now I have piles and piles (literally--they've been on the floor of the guest room since then) that I don't know what to do with. I suspect they're not really worth much, even though there's lots of them--none of them are especially rare or anything. They're just a lot of scifi, fantasy, and a few thriller/romances. Mostly paperback, a few hardback. So...what do I do with them? I hesitate to donate them to Goodwill or wherever, just because I feel like there's got to be a better solution. As a kid/teenager I would've KILLED to get a huge number of books like this, but I don't think I know any locally who would want them? (And these days they can get them electronically, right?)
Call and ask schools or libraries if they need them?
Or a senior center? Or a prison? Anywhere people spend a lot of unscheduled time, really....
Better than Goodwill be a Friends of the Library book sale. Much better chance of them finding a good home.
"Re: Jesse's suggestion. Google "books for prisoners"
Half-price books?
Hmm, looks like there is a "Books to Prisoners" group in Seattle, but they want you to donate $35 per box of books because they ship them to prisoners and say that costs $70 a box. Um, ok. Found an article on another local group, but not sure if they take books, so I emailed them. I figure for me it would be seriously cruel and unusual punishment to lock me up without books, so...yeah.
Yeah, that $35 fee is kinda wtf.
The only problem with half-price books is the likelihood of leaving with as many books as you arrive with.
Books to Prisoners Olympia does not charge to accept donations BTW, so the Seattle chapter is being "special".
