Welcome to Litsy!

Started re-reading Interview with the Vampire last night. Sometimes a re-read is the reset my brain needs to get out of a slump. I haven‘t read this in 20-ish years so I‘m curious how it‘s gonna hold up. Especially now that the TV series (a masterpiece) exists and improves on (while simultaneously respecting) the book. Who knows, maybe book Louis won‘t annoy me as much this time.😉 #CurrentlyReading

Finished!! I cannot recommend listening to this book enough. It was fantastic, just the right amount of horror and all the toxic romanticism I was told to expect.

Lunch (egg and cheese ona cheddar chive biscuit and a gingerbread latte) and starting part II of this novel before running errands 📖

This novel about 18th century castrato is an amazing piece of literary fiction. She did a crazy amount of research on this one, there's nothing like it out there.

As wonderful as they are and as much as I loved her vampire novels,this is absolutely my favorite of her writing.The characters are layered and very well thought out.

I read this classic decades ago and it was just so perfect I wish I could read it again for the first time.

This was a reread, and sadly not as good as I remembered it (first read when I was about 15 so a lonnnng time ago!) Really not a fan of the pedophilia that was completely romanticised. Did get me a line in #bookspinbingo though for Jan!

And #bookspin list for Feb!

First off much respect to Anne Rice. While most of us think we could write a book, she wrote not only one but several. She gave up Catholicism in support of her son who was gay. One of her books, Cry to Heaven, gave me a huge inkling I might be gay. However, I read Interview back in 9th grade and thought it was boring. I‘m rereading it again for a bookclub next week and man those feelings came back. Her writing is a heaping helping 👇🏼

Decided to start a reread of the chronicles. Then decided it is to be a chronological readthrough of Rice's work. I dunno, I'm just here for the atmosphere.

Forever obsessed with these two idiots though. This is probably my fifth time reading this one. It's interesting though because I haven't picked it up in years and I noticed that I was placing plotpoints from the film into my memories of the novel when they just aren't there.

I‘ve been reading old Anne Rice books lately.She was amazing,and this book didn‘t disappoint.It was intense! What made her think of these stories?It started slow, and required a lot of attention.By the end of the book I wondered if some of what was written about really happened.There are many things that the public are not told about.When I first started reading this novel, I never thought I‘d be giving it a 5 star rating,but here I am.5 stars.
