The Mummy | 
pickIt's 4 AM and I can't sleep a wink so I'm up with one of my most favorite tales. ----- "The small hours. Ramses stood in the hallway of Julie's palatial house, observing the intricately carved hands of the grandfather clock move into place. At last the big hand bisected the Roman numeral twelve, and the small hand bisected the Roman numeral four, and the clock began its deep melodious chime." #RamsesTheDamned
Got in a few chapters of Bk4 of my #Scarathlon2020 #Screamathon2020 #CYOReadathon #Pageathon #Sbooktober #TrickOrTreatathon & #RockyHorrorathon before finishing off Day3 with this cheesy horror movie with Tom Cruise & Russell Crowe. Which adds another 6pts to #TeamSlaughter🙌💀🔪
Waiting for my middle kiddo to get off from work. It's eleventy billion degrees out, but at least my book is awesome. It's a reread, but it's been a couple decades or so (is there any other phrase that makes one feel so much like a dinosaur?), so it reads like a new one.
pickI will always love Anne Rice. I was right about this pulling me out of my reading slump. Her writing is beautiful, lushly descriptive, and hypnotizing. I rolled my eyes a little at how quickly the characters fell in love, but it makes for a hell of a story. I strongly encourage others to read this book- and then quickly pick up the sequel she wrote with her son.
I‘ve gotten into a reading slump so I decided to go back to the first author I fell in love with in college. Her writing never fails to stir my soul. I‘m not participating in Readathons this weekend- just catching a few minutes here and there. This weekend is about family time. Hiking pictures will be coming this afternoon.

We had a door-decorating contest at school for Red Ribbon Week (being drug-free), and this is what my 8th graders did. Wish us luck! Voting is next week, and we could win a pizza party!

My mom sent me this today and I just had to share it. I love Halloween memes.

Final #Bookhaul post! This stack is from another favourite used #bookstore in Edmonton: from Alhambra Books. Good selection of general fiction, poetry, drama, sci-fi/fantasy etc. & I'd say around half or more of the store is non-fiction. They also had info about independent & used bookstores in Edmonton area. I hope to check out some new-to-me stores next time we're in town! Tagged book is one I hope to reread this year so I can read the sequel.

The Mummy by Anne Rice
•
First published in the year I was born, this feels like the lesser known masterpiece from the Vampire Queen compared to her Vampire Chronicles. This is also my first Anne Rice book bec I tend to avoid scary and dark book. But it‘s about time to change the genres up and what better way to start than this bestseller. #horror
I know this is a pretty cheesy movie, but I love that the main female character(even though she‘s portrayed as a fragile “lady”) is a bibliophile. The best line in the movie is when she stands up, drunk & says “I‘m proud of what I am”
“And what are you?”
“ I...am a librarian!”
pickAs I've said before this book is DRAMATIC and about half way through I asked myself, 'Why am I reading this?'. But I kept at because there was nipple tweaking and Cleo (when she showed up) was an enjoyable little hellion. Julie cries all the time, Cleopatra likes breaking necks. To me, if I want to read the sequel, it's a good sign. More nipple tweaking in 2018!
I am about 30 pages from the end and boy is this book melodramatic...so here is a picture of KT.
There are many #fablesandfolklore about mummies, but I wish Anne Rice would write a sequel to this one. And I think Ramses with and without his "wrapping" qualifies for #twofacedtuesday #themummy #uncannyoctober #spookyoctober #monstermadness2017 #multitasking
My signed copy arrived from The Ripped Bodice. So excited to reread.
This doesn't seem an appropriate ad for a family TV program.
so excited that the sequel will FINALLY be here this November!! 😁🎉🤜🤛
#AllHallowsRead #GiveAScaryBook Happy Halloween 🎃found an extra copy of this so will be donating it to the local library sale. may reread. i remember obsessing over it (i'd never read a horror/romance!) and searching everywhere i could think of for the sequel. it still doesn't exist, although it was apparently promised :(
As far as #supernaturalbeings go, I've always had a soft spot for mummies. #Booktober
pickAnne Rice is the mistress of writing about immortality. That's a central theme of this story as well as in her vampire chronicles. Reading this book is like watching an action/suspense/romance film. So descriptive, but not overly descriptive, and so thought-provoking. Thank you, Anne Rice, for another thoroughly engaging and emotional story. (Yes, I know it was published in 1989, but I just discovered it!)
You're being a philosopher again. And I'm not all that decent and honorable. I'm merely well-bred, which I hope is a tolerable substitute.
