It's been years since I've read Anne Rice but that's about to change. My first ever Goodreads win came in and I'm super excited to get back to the mesmerizing worlds that she created 🧛♂️🖤🧛♀️

Ann Rice is one of my favorite authors, I love everything she write. 🤩❤❤❤❤❤ #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
This was one of those books I expected to like but sadly I just couldn‘t get into it. So after restarting a chapter a few times I decided to bail.
This one was alright. I didn't read The Mummy (the one before it) but the book did a good job of reiterating what happened bringing me up to speed.

I haven't had much luck today so hopefully this one won't disappoint. 🤞
This book was so reminiscent of the early Vampire Chronicles with their struggling natures. There were passages that made me gasp, laugh, and cry out. Each time I picked it back up I felt like I was falling again into Rice‘s reality and out of my own. The way the story is lined out allows for so many more books to follow, and I deeply hope they write more!

I love that I only just read the original The Mummy a couple years ago, and then she makes a second! Such fortuitous timing. Anyway, it had a great pace. I loved the new characters and the plot continuation. I was especially relieved that I liked it considering I was not a fan of the latest Vampire Chronicle, Prince Lestat. Again, Anne (and now her son!) Rice delves interestingly into concepts of immortality even without the vampire element.
What do you think about that description of love? In some ways, I think it‘s spot on. Then again, it may be love, but is that kind of love a healthy one? One can easily feel that way about someone who‘s not right for you...
I 💙💙💙 The Mummy. It was one of favorites of Anne Rice. I still have my original bookmark.
I had no idea there was a sequel until I saw this at the library book sale last month. So excited!
#TBRtemptation post 2! Sequel to "The Mummy". Ramses the Great, former Egyptian pharaoh, is re-awakened by the elixir of life in Edwardian England. He re-awakens Cleopatra, the two defy one another in a battle of wills. But another force is present, even older than them. She ruled a global empire, and she knows all about the elixir. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook ?
I will always buy Anne Rice no matter what. She‘s one of my go to authors.
More of a #MiniBookHaul, really, but considering we just went to Costco to pick up shelves, this felt like a pretty good score! The top two are my picks and the bottom two are my husband's.
These were my other B&N purchases today.
I love the suggestions at the bottom of the receipt. Why yes I bet I would like Lumberjanes 6 since I‘m buying Lumberjanes 7.
Super excited about this Christmas gift for my mom. I read The Mummy in high school because my mom loved it and I was getting into Anne Rice at the time. It was one of my favorites of hers, and I had no idea this new story was being published. I can‘t wait to borrow it from my mom when she‘s done 😏 #booksforchristmas
I'm looking forward to start reading this ARC from #firssttoread . I haven't read the first book in the series so I'm hoping it will not affect my enjoyment of it. #TotalEclipseoftheARC
