Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m still trucking along in my #YearOfRice and I have some thoughts on this one:

- The movie has NOTHING on this book, and very little in common with it. 🤔

- LOVE the female characters added to the story! Maharet, Jesse, Pandora... yay!

- Anne Rice and her writing are no joke. 🙌🏻

- I love me some Louis, but Lestat is the man: ‘I can‘t help being a gorgeous fiend. It‘s just the card I drew.‘

On to the next!

Ok, so now I like Lestat a whole lot more than I did at the end of Interview with the Vampire. Some observations:

• Anne Rice is pretty freaking good.

• This story is ambitious, sprawling around a lot of the world and huge spans of time.

• These vampires have some interesting histories and legends.

• Tom Cruise really had no business playing Lestat. Seriously, wtf was up with that casting? 🙄

On to the next!

#YearOfRice

I read this in the 90s as an impressionable teenager because I was obsessed with Brad Pitt and wanted to read the book before the movie.

I reread it as part of my #YearOfRice, and I still love it. Of course, mentally picturing Brad as Louis for a few hours was bound to be nice.😍

I love Simon Vance as a narrator, but he seemed an odd choice for this. Maybe Brad could narrate?

Obviously, my Brad Pitt obsession is still going strong.😂

February wrap-up... my reading was really down this month. Seems like falling on ice and injuring my hip and leg would give me more reading time, but nope!

14 books finished:

9 by black female authors #readblackwomen
4 #1001books
5 challenge books
5 #mountTBR books

I only finished one Anne Rice book this month, so I am now two books behind schedule on my #YearOfRice.

Favorites are pictured... The Fifth Season was my overall favorite. ❤️
