'Underneath'
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."
I tell people that it’s a series of books that combine SF and humor.
This should be sufficient, I would think. If they haven't already discovered it by now (whenever "now" is in their presumably adult lives), it's probably just not their beautiful cake*.
*Which is another example of the point. I don't remember what that reference is from, but I still get the reference.
I'm not sure I ever knew where "my beautiful cake" came from, (A song, I think?) I just absorbed it from the Internet.
I think it's actually from shrift. Re: fanfic

That sounds right. I *think* it may have been a riff/mashup of Once In A Lifetime (this is not my beautiful house/wife/etc) + Portal (the cake is a lie)?
My kid had to explain "the cake is a lie" to me.
Between Christmas and work and attempted coups, my reading has been nonexistent for weeks, but I'm still living The Monsters of Templeton. Undecided on my next read, although maybe the Immortalists? I'm like 76th in line at the library for The Once and Future Witches.
I'm reading a longish series in Kindle Unlimited that I don't care very much about - I want to find out what happens next enough to keep reading but I have no emotional investment in any of the characters - and that might be the best thing for me right now
The Once and Future Witches is so good.
I read this children's book at work this morning and started SOBBING out loud at the desk.

Years ago, I got a Hitchhikers Guide computer game. It came with a "don't panic" button and danger-sensitive glasses (solid black cardboard).
I just started The Secrets We Kept, for my book group. It’s pretty good so far. It’s about women spies during the Cold War.
