A good look into the Rodere of St.Louis which I enjoyed. I felt like this should have been a novella but I know it needed to be a full novel. Looking forward to the next instalment🤓📚

I have a hard time deciding what to say about the Anita Blake books these days. I still keep reading the newer ones, albeit I've been behind on them a long time, but I think it's because I just don't enjoy them as much as the older ones. I like the action more than the relationship stuff that took over for a while and hold on to the hope for that.

With Halloween upon us, I decided to finally go back and try to catch up where I'd left off on the Anita Blake series. Vampires and were-animals seemed appropriate to the day, after all.

I also kicked off the day by watching some fresh apple cider being pressed (pictured above), buying a gallon of it, and getting some delicious fried cakes to go with it.

Happy Halloween & Blessed Samhain to all! 🎃

I‘ve seen some people refer to this a a novella. It is not, but it is TINY compared to the other Anita Blake‘s. In under 250 pages we got some solid building to the wererat and hyena cultures, some blast from the past friends and foes and a solid amount of action and creative violence.

Much less wasted time, no arguing inconsequential things for endless chapters, minimal wedding talk, I don‘t even think she talked about her boobs. Editing = wow

📖 Current Read is “Rafael” by LKH

🌟 I now realize that the 3 physical books I read in July was all were set in the 1990s which I find to be an odd coincidence as 2 were recent releases (“Survive the Night” & “Southern Book Club..”). “Wild” was my favorite of the month, I would consider it a 5 star read, which I did not expect and had entirely added to my July reads as filler.

I have done nothing but move this book room to room in the past 3 days between scrolling the socials and watching Graceland. This is my accountability post, I‘m going to try to make some headway!

1. Anita Blake Vampire Hunter where I have read 27/28 books (the tagged book is the one I haven‘t read yet)
2. Not intentionally.
3. I like series that have switching protagonists, really shows the authors insight into where the other characters are coming from when done well. But I don‘t read a lot of series that do that. So either.

May 2021 - reread and weirdly super close to the initial reading and didn‘t like it as much as the first but it might also be binge fatigue

May 2021 - reread and almost there and still dislike the plot but like the story more

May 2021 - rereading and occasionally finding it a challenge but actually enjoying the flow
