Both these books were best sellers the year I was born. Gift from the Sea was my mom‘s copy- this edition published the year I was born. I have read both.

OriginalCyn620 I haven‘t read the book or seen the movie but my mom is a big fan of both! 5y

Crazeedi Read book when it was published and saw the movie, both classics 5y

mrp27 @OriginalCyn620 I'm sure your mom has to,d you the same thing, but you must watch the movie! Such a classic. 5y

I wouldn‘t mind reading this. I have her journals also. Such a sad and devastating life and death of a woman so young and talented. 💔💔

Crazeedi Oh it was a very good book, I read it years ago, before I swore off horror books. 5y

veritysalter I actually enjoyed it, it went into a lot more depth about good and evil and was less “shocking” than the film. 5y

Interview with the Vampire (Turtleback School & Library, A) | Anne Rice

#AuldLangReads Day 24: #PopularTheYearYouWereBorn. This is a fun fact for me, I had zero idea. While I enjoyed the vampire chronicles, it was the Mayfair Witches series I loved more.
