The week has slipped away entirely too fast; in an effort to catch up with the rest of the pack, we'll do two days at once this round.

It is, of course, actually Day 3 by now -- that post will go up shortly, but this one is late. Ah, well, it happens sometimes.
Day 2 - A series more people should be reading/talking about
This choice was harder to make than I originally anticipated. The trouble is that while I've read a number of intriguing books recently, many of them already have a sizeable degree of buzz attached to them, and so arguably don't fit the category. And when I looked backward to consider older or more obscure titles, the titles I looked toward first arguably belong in categories we'll get to farther along in the meme.
And then I thought of two books that have just come back into print, and I had my answer: The Night of the Solstice and Heart of Valor by L. J. Smith, who's mostly known at present for having written the books from which the Vampire Diaries television series was adapted.
( The present volumes are of a different kind. )

alg has adapted the 30-day TV watchers' meme that's been bouncing around LiveJournal for those of us who are book-addicted -- and whereas I resisted the temptation to wade into the TV meme (I'm not quite that avid a watcher), the corresponding literary version is just too tempting for me not to play.alg's kickoff post, where you can expect to find many other folks' answers (and links to their launchpoint posts) in the comments. alg has adapted the 30-day TV watchers' meme that's been bouncing around LiveJournal for those of us who are book-addicted -- and whereas I resisted the temptation to wade into the TV meme (I'm not quite that avid a watcher), the corresponding literary version is just too tempting for me not to play.alg's kickoff post, where you can expect to find many other folks' answers (and links to their launchpoint posts) in the comments. twilight2000:daleivanedanamhouse_dravenmtgatsisterfish

filkertom, and this is definitely more amusing than the average meme. Certain members of the gallery will be amused at the apt description of the Potion of Walla Walla.... filkertom, and this is definitely more amusing than the average meme.
