Welcome to Litsy!

🔥🔥🔥

Finished the second season of IWTV and it was amazing. I also got thrown down a Devil's Minion rabbit hole

A very specific bingo board for IWTV Season 2 if anyone wants to use or if you are reading the books ... though some squares won't work

#HauntedShelf

I want to watch the second series of Interview with the Vampire this October. I found an official season 2 bingo board but I might make my own since that does not have enough sassy Daniel

I'm excited for this.

I got good news from the orthopedic doctor. I‘m halfway to complete mobility again. So I celebrated with some books. The spooky book season has begun 👻👻👻

Rice is wordy, and she loves an ellipsis, which gives you the feeling of reading extended texts from a baby boomer. Full review: https://keepingupwiththepenguins.com/interview-with-the-vampire-anne-rice/

Inspired by @thegirlwiththelibrarybag, an A+ vampire chronicles post from tumblr. This one by user 👤licncourt

I'm excited! Finally carved out some time to binge watch the TV show. I am ready to be destroyed!

🕯 this book is in my house since forever, I think my mom bought it in 1999 or 2000 (the price is still in Lire and not Euros) but I've never read it..

I love that I saw this on tiktok and then again on Instagram… and it probably originated on tumblr 😂

“We are immortal. And what we have before us are the rich feasts that consciousness cannot appreciate and mortal men cannot know without regret. God kills, and so shall we; indiscriminately He takes the richest and the poorest, and so shall we; for no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves, dark angels not confined to the stinking limits of hell but wandering His earth and all its kingdoms.”

Sensual. Spellbinding. Horrifying. Interview With The Vampire follows Louis‘ recounting of his mortal and immortal life. Struggling with the morality of being damned, Louis conveys a look into the human condition only a vampire may see. This book‘s ending left me speechless with righteous fury. 5/5 and one of the most profound works I‘ve read in a while.

Love this vintage copy of the book 🥀

The hold this book had over me in the early 90s. Haha. And then me and my BFF were obsessed with the movie when it came out (we were 13). Classic 😂😂 #scarathlonphotochallenge #vampire #blackcatcrew

#scarathlonphotochallenge #vampire #teamcrypyykeepers

🧛🏻 Finally getting round to this one 🧛🏻

Overall, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this…I have been avoiding this since my teens as it was my sister‘s favorite book when we were in high school, which automatically made the book, and her subsequent half-assed attempt to be a gothy vampire for a year or two, lame! 😂 I see why she enjoyed this at that age, this is much too melodramatic at times. Overall though, there‘s a pretty solid story at its core 3.5/5.

It‘s only Tuesday but it‘s giving end of week vibes, I can‘t wait to get home!

A spooky reread for #scarathlon 🧛‍♂️ something I‘m finding so strange about entering my late twenties is there being adult books I read as a teen that I realise I have almost no memory of now. I think i read this when I was 13 in my first gothic romance no one understands me phase (some would argue I‘m still there…). I realised rereading it that Claudia was literally the only thing I remembered so it felt very fresh. #skeletoncrew

I finished the first season of Interview with the Vampire and I'm not sure how I feel. I loved the updates to the story: the timeline, the costumes, Louis and Lestat's relationship, and the graphics. I'm a little torn about Claudia and how the season ended. However, will I watch the second? Yes.

Now it is time for a favorite! I'm so excited to find out that Interview with the Vampire is streaming on Hulu.

I.am.obsessed!!!!
I don't have AMC so I was very excited to see Interview with the Vampire (along with other shows) added to Max. I just saw the first episode and loved it! My teenage obsession with Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles came back and I could not stop commenting throughout the first episode. Yes, Louis's story is very different from the book, but it goes well with the setting.

This is a quiet, melancholy vampire story and so descriptive! You can close your eyes and just visualize ALL the details. I‘m glad I finally got around to this one and it was delightful on audio. I didn‘t realize it was written in the 70‘s and that it is the first in a series. I‘ll probably pick up the next at some point.

This is my #March 2022 book :) --- I had barely read this in 2022, which is so weird. I mean, if you know me, you would have thought I was “all over this book“

I love The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice, and I don‘t think anything could ever change that. However, reading this book again as an adult has given me a wildly different perspective on the characters. I hadn‘t read this since I was a teenager and I felt I got much more out of it this go around. Rice‘s vampires are truly the saddest vampires I‘ve ever read about. I‘m looking forward to continuing with my reread of the series after October⬇️

I'm a little bit confused. I had expected more. I had to torture myself a bit through the book. The story is very realistic. It's a fine line between an interview, a report and a fictional story, maybe that's why it's so special.

I‘m sorry, but I found this book so boring. I like Simon Vance as a narrator (I forgot what I‘ve listened to him read). But this was a snooze fest for me. Give me a silly Sookie Stackhouse or Vampire Diaries novel any day. I sped this up to 2.2x to get through it.

This is such a beautifully written story. This is the third time I‘ve read this but I didn‘t remember it too well. I love the writing style and how detailed the descriptions are. I really need to read the rest of the series.

It was a good week of #Scarathlon reading! I had fun with the word game too. I'm close to some more squares in my #BookSpinBingo being filled in, especially with the extra inspiration from the #OutstandingOctober #Readathon. The tagged was my favorite book of the week! This week I need to get on my #AuthorAMonth read. 📚 #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash #Pointsathon @StayCurious @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

This just didn't work for me... the writing was overly flowery and nothing happened, I didn't like any of the characters. I'm glad I finally read it because its one that people are always surprised when I say i haven't... but I won't feel compelled to continue the series. #scarathlon #teammonstermash @StayCurious
