Day 13: Man
I of course pick Prince Lestat! Blood Communion by Anne Rice. I actually have two copies of this. I do love Lestat. 🤴🖤👑

I had been disappointed in the last few installments of the vampire chronicles, and I am very happy to say that Blood Communion is back to the good stuff! Lestat‘s personality is here in full force with growth and emotional maturity he‘s gained over the series. It moved at a riveting pace and really gets into the development and meaning of the Court to the vampire world.

Fun story with not only Prince Lestat but other vampires.

Perfect vampire setting.
Ran out of Babymetal live so I'm out for a bit

Finally took a break from the Witcher series (totally not because I need to order the next book from Amazon) and continued to dance with Prince Lestat. Definitely got to see a different side to the Brat, but I enjoyed revisiting my old friends and bringing them all together stylishly!

I was ambitious jumping into this so far down the line in terms of books. The author tries to ‘remind‘ you who is who & what stories have gone before, if you don‘t have that depth to draw on, the characters seem very 2 dimensional & wooden. It was atmospheric, the chateau & countryside were drawn well, but I couldn‘t separate the characters or summon the emotional energy to care about them. Should perhaps go back 16 books and start with book 1!

@BookPage magazine that I pick up from my local library is the adult equivalent of Highlights magazines for children. "I want that one, and that one, and one of those, and that one..." #GetTheSharpie #CircleAllTheThings

Mr K has been taking note of Litsy book swaps and had a go himself! He did good - he choose these two for me and I love them both (he usually asks for a list but this year he went free style!). Even bagged a signed edition! Well done Mr K! #christmaslove

@Karkar thank you again for the book! It arrived today. Isabella approves. #littenkitty #litsylove

Really enjoyed the latest in the Vampire Lestat saga by the Queen, Anne Rice. As always I felt as if I was there amidst the drama. Anyone else love AR?

Though I read the likes of Harry Potter growing up, it was reading Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles in my teens that got me reading as a hobby. So I guess it's time to start the next story (though I'm pretty sure from the blurb that this will be retelling of bits from past books...)

I won a copy of this book the day after I bought it. First one to claim it can have it. US only this time please.

So excited! I started this one last night. I‘m working a lot of overtime this week as security for the local emergency room (hit or miss whether I‘ll have down time to read, but no full moon makes it more likely). This should be a fast read for me.

I first read the Vampire Chronicles about 30 years ago. Couldn‘t let a new one pass without picking it up. I‘m pretty sure that the cheesiness here was in its glory days in the earlier books. Regardless, it‘s here wrapped in a velvet cloak!

Vampire wisdom ⚰️🧛🏻‍♀️🧛🏻‍♂️

Litsy!
I have been away for much too long. My life took a very bad turn. I lost my dear husband in April from cancer and my mom was diagnosed with dementia.

I‘ve wanted to come back and thought Anne Rice would be a great book to come back to. Oh this book is wonderful!!! I feel this is the strongest since she came back to writing Lestat 🧛‍♂️ her books are so immersive and they pull you in. This book does not disappoint. 5 out of 5.

Anne Rice's newest vampire chronicles book is out! I'm seriously craving a reread of this series! ❤ And Moukou obviously agrees! 😁😸

Look what I won! I am a little behind in this series but I‘m hoping I can still enjoy this. 😄

My local library, DeKalb County Public Library and the Georgia Center for the Book put together a fall book preview with representatives from Penguin, Random House, Knopf and HarperCollins. They gave away tote bags and ARCs, too.

I ❤️ my library!!!
