Congratulations on finishing ADWD, AKA the best novel of the five novels so far (totally not controversial). But wait, there's so much more out there!
A few months ago, I, along with lots of people who pointed lots more stuff out to me than I knew, created a ASOIAF Resource post where you can find all there is to know about ASOIAF.
Some highlights for you:
You finished the 5 ASOIAF books. Great! But there's more ASOIAF-universe material out there. Have you read Dunk & Egg, The Princess and the Queen or the Rogue Prince? And do you know about The World of Ice and Fire: GRRM's History of Planetos? Furthermore, it's a universally accepted fact that your re-read will be much, much better than your first read. Here's some links!

Have at it!
It includes all of the Dunk and Egg stories, but there are a couple more about the Targaryens that were published in anthologies. The Rogue Prince is included in Rogues, and The Princess and the Queen is included in Dangerous Women.
Check out the Rogues anthology. Short stories (quicker to digest than full novels) with a variety of different types of rogues. A Year and a Day in Old Theradane by Scott Lynch is a personal favorite, and a good showcase of his style since you haven't yet read Locke Lamora. Tough Times All Over by Joe Abercrombie is really fun as well.
edit: names
Just in case someone is unaware, the Dance of Dragons is detailed in Rogues
Hi! Congratulations and welcome to the Watch!
You might be wondering right now about what to do next while waiting for the 6th book to come out, so here are some suggestions.
GRRM already published some sample chapters from TWOW over the years. Here's some information about them and links to most chapters.
There are additional novellas that take place in this world. The Dunk & Egg stories take place about 100 years before the main series and are about a hedge knight and his companion. The Princess and the Queen and The Rogue Prince are historical retellings of the Dance of the Dragons event. They're somewhat drier reads than D&E because they're from the POV of a Maester chronicling these events but I really liked them personally.
My favorites, on the other hand, are the amazing analyses and essays being written about these characters and their stories:
There are many, many more of these if you liked them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Have fun!
It's a short story in the Rogues anthology.
There's a short story about Bast in the "Rogues" anthology edited/released by George RR Martin. I think it's called "The Lightning Tree" but it's written more like KKC is. Slow Regard is a totally different writing style, but also great.
Based on her liking the Auel books, I'd bet she'd dig the trilogy: Namaah's Kiss, Namaah's Curse, Namaah's Blessing by Jacqueline Carey. They're all pretty thick and interesing in world-building, female-centered fantasy type.
Has she read the Dunk & Egg stories (a.k.a. The Hedge Knight series) and other prequel stories to ASOIAF? That would be a nice treat for a big fan of the series, if she doesn't have them all yet. It's tricky, because the stories are currently broken up and scattered across a few books, haven't been compiled into one (yet). And, bonus, she'd get a bunch of other stories by other great sci-fi/fantasy writers in those, that may make her discover and fall in love with another series.
Legends I
Legends II
Warriors
...and not directly the 3 main Dunk and Egg stories, but other ASOIAF prequels in these:
Dangerous Women
Rogues
Beware: with the "Legends" ones, if you get PBs instead of the HC edition, the first "Legends I" was broken into three books for PB release, Legends 1, Legends 2, etc., which can get confusing considering they later put out a "Legends II". So, if you get the mass market PBs on those, you could wind up with a shorter version that doesn't include the right stories ASOIAF fan is looking for.
Here's a link to the book since I had no idea what OP was talking about at first.
They are such short novellas (I think the Rogue Prince is like 30 pages?) that I just took them from my school's inter-library loan system. You probably know this already, but for anyone else, The Rogue Prince is printed in Rogues and the Princess and the Queen is published in Dangerous Women.
Both are good, but only if you're a die-hard asoiaf fan. The P&Q especially gets confusing despite its very short length.
Short story about Bast in Newarre. It's part of the Rogues Anthology. So you not only get an awesome look at what Bast does in his spare time when he's not at the Inn, but you also get a lot of other really great short stories from other authors as well. :)
Rogues https://www.amazon.com/dp/0345537262/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_nKKCzbJGVVY08
Well, not so much a fan, but recently discovered him. I picked up this:
http://www.amazon.com/Rogues-George-R-R-Martin/dp/0345537262
which includes a short story by him, and having lived in the Longview/Marshall area from 2002 through 2010, I had to get more of his books. Didn't even know Bubba Hotep was by him also, which I watched because Bruce Campbell, and then liked for the same reasons, hey, something local!
I like this. Make sure you're aware of the short story "Tawny Petticoats" in the Rogues anthology though. It's about a loan shark and security auditor in post-apocalyptic New Orleans... With zombies.
It's in Rogues, an anthology.
Umm...Hold up. I know this...
Ah yes, here we go. Dangerous Women and Rogues .
Was about to post the following, then I decided to see if anyone had already mentioned them. Posting for the links in case they help out:
I'm going through my second read now, and after this I plan to gather all miscellaneous stories. First, the Dunk and Egg stories in Legends I Volume 2, Legends II, and Warriors. Then the Princess and the Queen from Dangerous Women, and Everybody Loves a Rogue from Rogues. I'm hoping this will last me until World of Ice and Fire in October (I'll read the entire anthologies, not just the ASOIAF material). I also have other things to read in the meantime, Peter Watts has a new one coming out, and I want to check out some of the other stuff mentioned here, like the Abercrombie books, Rothfuss, and Sanderson.
I believe the two I can think of off the top of my head take place within the Four Corners world. One is in the excellent anthology Unfettered and the other is in Martin's anthology Rogues.
You can find them in the FAQ.
Dunk & Egg:
Histories of Westeros:
Its called The Lightening Tree and its published in the Rogues anthology. http://www.amazon.com/Rogues-George-R-Martin/dp/0345537262
There is also a side story published in Rogues about Bast, but I haven't read it yet.
It's in the Rogues anthology along with new stories by GRRM, Joe Abercrombie, Neil Gaiman, Scott Lynch and many more.
You're welcome, it's juust too bad that it's such a short book. I would also love to read the short story about Bast that's in Rouges, But I can't spend that much on a book in which I only want to read 50 or so pages.
