Recommendations

I posted this at btvs_ats_q_a but I thought I would find out what my wonderful friends thought as well.

Is there a BtVS or AtS book anyone would recommend? Either Academic, Episode Reviews or one of the Fiction ones?

An Academic one I would recommend, for covering a range of subjects would be "Fighting the Forces", the others are a bit specific, but I guess if you do have a certain interest, maybe "Spirituality" there will be one for you.

For Episode Reviews, I liked "The Complete Slayer" and "Hollywood Vampire", these can be picked up quite cheap at e-bay now. Just have to be careful with "Hollywood Vampire" as there are a few versions. The best ones are seasons 1-4 then Season 5 has a book all to itself.

The latest fiction books that came out such as "Go Ask Malice" and "Blackout" have been the best I have read. Not everyone gets the characters right, and sometimes try and do too many of them. While a little OOC in fanfic is acceptable, and needed for the story, that is not the case in a book that I have paid for.

So any other recommendations?

You can have my copy of Reading the Vampire Slayer if you want. I don't imagine I'll read it again. It's good, I found it really interesting

Oh I have this think about reference books, I just cannot give them away! That would be great, I will send you something for it, even if only to cove postage!

Do you have my address or should I e-mail you with it?

I think I have it from the WriterCon stuff but e mail it again just to be on the safe side. Not sure when I'll be able to get to the post office though. Early next week probably
