W3A3 - The Readers' Services Conversation
--Conversation 1 - The first customer seems to enjoy the appeal factor of "character," where the reader is able to connect with the feelings and emotions of a person(s) in the story.  A book that takes place in another region or country would also appeal to her.  She seems to like a light read with a little humor, and a book from Oprah's book list will most likely be a sure hit.  I would recommend "Committed" also written by Elizabeth Gilbert.  This book is a continuation of Gilbert's story in "Eat, Pray, Love" and touches on the same topics of travel, love, reflection, etc.

--Conversation 2 - This customer wants a vampire book, but nothing with sappy romantic teen relationships, and nothing link the Twilight Saga books.  I turned to Novelist to find good recommendations for her.  If she wants a teen book, I would recommend Buffy the Vampire Slayer books because they have the vampire focus without the romantic relationships.  For an adult book, I would start with "Hit List" by Laurell K. Hamilton.  This book stars a U.S. marshal and a vampire hunter who find out that hit men are in the area and they are the targets - nothing like the Vampire Saga story lines.

--Conversation 3 - The third customer appears to be looking for a fast-paced, exotic, historical nonfiction mystery/suspense book ;).  I think this customer would really like the book "The Lost City of Z" by David Grann.  This nonfiction story takes place in the Amazon, and is about one man's quest to find a British explorer who vanished in 1925.  It's dramatic, fast-paced, and full of "thrilling dangers."
