Welcome to Litsy!

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

I read the book 30 years ago but didn‘t remember much. I had never seen the movie. Long hair was not a good look for Antonio Banderas & I couldn‘t really forget Lestat and Louis were Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Beautiful settings. #scarathlon #teammonstermash 11 points

I know it's my team read but it's just not holding my interest at all #scarathlon2022 #teammonstermash

My spooky watches for today:

The #TeamMonsterMash movie Interview With the Vampire, a rewatch and still a ton of fun.
The Hatching, a Finnish unique monster horror, where you question who the real monster is.
#Scarathlon2022

This was a reread for me. But I loved it as much as the first time. #scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious #OutstandingOctober @Andrew65

I‘m honestly surprised I‘ve never read this before! Inspired by the new AMC show, I finally picked it up. So glad that I did

I finished the 2nd #buddyread for #TeamMonsterMash. Even though I read it some 20 years ago, it was fun revisiting the characters. Louis was still whiney, Lestat still cruel at times, Claudia vicious, and Armand just really didn't want the drama. I might continue with The Vampire Lestat, which I never read.

Love Tim Horton's Hot Chocolate/Cocoa! It's a little chilly to read in a park or cemetery today.

Watched the first 3 episodes of the new tv adaptation and while there was a few things I‘m not totally jazzed about, it‘s still pretty good. Sam Reid makes a much better Lestat at least! #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter 31pts

Just watched the second episode. I like the character Lastat. #Scarathlon2022 TV series on TBW List @StayCurious #TeamMonsterMash

I have been so busy, so I‘m terrible with posting. But I‘m still here. Working my way through the scary stack for #scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash @StayCurious I forgot how much I love this book.

Pet Black Cats!! #pets #cats - I might not be a cat lady, but I do love cats. This season seems to be the hardest for black cats and scariest. They are not bad luck, just furry hellcats that need limited love and catnip. Support your local cat ladies and shelters.

I did not have a chance to post a picture about my boxes sent for both of my swaps but I hope make up for with this great pic from our new Louis in the AMC tv series. The series is giving me life(and death). Who can stay mad at this face? My apologies again. I am finally up and around and packages were sent out last week. Everyone should have their packages. #nightmareswap #litsyfallswap #respiratoryinfection #spookyseason #fall #biteme

I started this book long time ago but never finished it. It is a classic, more character driven so different from the movie. I enjoyed it because it is so good how it is described this transformation between what you were and what you have become. A constant struggling between these two beings-inside yourself. Strange/weird relationship between Claudia and Louis🤔So many deaths, are they really dead? Book 2 is waiting for me. 4⭐️

For 7 days, I read this book in the dark of night, when sleep is challenging due to chronic pain, and I miss it now that it's over. I didn't expect to enjoy this so much, but the lush imagery and the wrestling with grief that reflects Anne Rice's own (loss of a daughter Claudia's age) drew me in. I'm glad I read this #BuddyRead for #TeamMonsterMash #Scarathlon2022! @StayCurious #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks #Pointsathon @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

I'm rereading Interview for #Scarathlon2022 #TeamMonsterMash while I watch the new AMC+ version. It's hard to believe the book was published in 1976. I read it in college, and it was almost 20 years old then. I still love the lushness of Rice's prose. I forgot how whiney Louis seems in the book version. Lestat is still the villain I love to hate.
It's fun meeting these characters again.
@StayCurious

I have a lot of love for this book as I read it a lot as a teenager. I enjoyed reading it again as an adult. It's very slow and in some ways not much happens but I was sucked in and loved revisiting the world and characters.

This book was one of the few books I felt I could relate to growing up because love was separate to sex. As an unknowing ace it was a revelation to have characters that loved deeply without the need for sex.
