panI don‘t know why the narrator was so breathy and whispery on audible. Have no idea what the story was because it was so infuriating to listen to

pickI love this book. It was my most reread during middle school and rereading it now, 17 years on, hasn't changed it all that much. I'll hopefully be meeting Juliet at a convention soon, so the revisit was comforting. I've not yet read any of her other work so aiming to read some more before then.
pickSimon and Giles (still not a couple) attend a literary conference where an imposter turns up claiming to be the person behind one of Simon's pen names. When the imposter is murdered, Simon and Giles investigate.
Fun, but I'm continuing mainly because I want to know when Simon and Giles will get together and when Simon will tell Giles the truth about himself.
A US vampire moves to a small English village. Because medication reduces his “condition“ to a mild allergy to garlic and eliminates the need to drink blood he can fit in with his new surroundings. Then the local postmistress is murdered and he is drawn into the investigation.
It had its moments, but not as good as the author's books set in the American South. Perhaps you need to be part of a culture yourself for this kind of humour to work.
pickAnybody else read children‘s books when needing a pallet cleanser. I picked up a couple children‘s books last year as a way to catch up on my reading goal, but I realize that it help with my reading slumps as well. It‘s also been a challenge as I look specifically for books with a Gothic theme and some of the ones I found have been so fun. Boris and Bella was definitely my favorite out of the three, but they were all good.
pickI enjoyed this book, however, it's one of those, I felt had so much more to offer (vampire/horror-wise) and it focused more on the love story aspect of it. Which I am not against, but had expected more mystery intensity than it gave. I did love that it was set where I grew up - and I think I am averaging up.
Finished reading it while resting in a a huge tub by the ocean this weekend :) #BookSpin @TheAromaofBooks
panI read this series as a teenager and remembered that this was my least favorite. Holds true. Lestat is impossible. His lack of impulse control is ridiculous and not at all charming. The rape scene of his first foray into sex as a human again was awful. And then he basically did the vampire version of that at the end by making David Talbot a vampire without consent. His remorse after each was laughable. Completely led by his emotions.
Shoutout to the friends who know you so well that they have to send you a link as soon as they see it.
