Welcome to Litsy!

5⭐️ Forgot to post on this the other day but of course it‘s a five star from me. The introduction into the vampire chronicles is everything along with meeting Lestat for the first time. Just a classic.

I originally read the Vampire Chronicles as a teenager and fell in love. With the recent passing of Anne Rice I decided to revisit the vampires of my youth. I love the book as much now as I did the first time. Reading it felt a bit like visiting old friends.

Hi everyone! I haven't been on this app in a very long time but I'm back! So, hello everybody!

Ann Rice was an author who impacted my life in more ways then one. Her creative and macabre style of writing gave me the desire and fight I needed to overcome dyslexia so that I could read her books. I‘m sure you are all aware she past on the 11th of last month. So I plan to reread the Vampire Chronicle this year for her memory if anyone would like to join me. Will be reading book 7 & 8 in July to get all 13 done by December.

Still just as good as it was the first time

I‘m so sad about the death of Anne Rice. One of my favorite authors since middle school and reading Interview with the Vampire and a whole lot after that. I have a whole shelf dedicated to her books! What a loss to the literary world 😢❤️

Has anyone else seen this?!

Im in shock! 😢

She was and is one of my favorite authors!

I‘m so unbelievably sad that she passed away last night. I‘ve been a long time fan for years. Rest In Peace Ms Rice. You will be missed

Saddened by the news of Anne Rice‘s death. INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE is one of the few books I‘ve read multiple times. I recently reread it again for the first time in many years and was still awed by what she created. I think you can rightfully argue that every modern vampire work written since it‘s release owes a debt to Anne Rice. Her vampires even influenced those in my “Gidion Keep, Vampire Hunter” novels. #RIPAnneRice

I‘ve scrolled through my entire day‘s newsfeed. So many tributes to Ann Rice. So fitting and beautiful. I love this space. I join the vampires, the Littens, and the readers worldwide who today raise a toast to this gift of a woman. (My pic from my post of this book in oct 2020)

😪

As a teen, the first author I became a fan of was Stephen King. And then came Anne Rice. I still have the hardcover editions of some of her books (I loaned out Interview to someone and never got it back which is why it‘s missing!). I also still have the handwritten family tree I created to help me keep track of all those Mayfair witches!
Thank you for all those wonderful stories!
RIP Anne Rice. 😢📚

Sad to hear of her passing. Love her books.

12-12-21: R.I.P. 😢

RIP Anne Rice😢

These are my favorite Anne Rice books. I never continued the Lestat series and was surprised to hear there are 13 books in the series. Ironically I just donated the Rice books I still owned to my local library sale. They sat on my shelf for years but I‘d be looking at them now if I still had them.

“Give me a man or woman who has read a thousand books and you give me an interesting companion. Give me a man or woman who has read perhaps three and you give me a very dangerous enemy indeed.” —Anne Rice, who has passed away. #RIP, Anne. Thank you for the great gift of your work.

RIP, Anne Rice 😢

Good Morning Littens... I just woke up about a half hour ago to the sad news of Anne Rice's passing. I'm not sure how many people know, but I am a vampire lover. Those were the first kind of books I dove into. Sadly I haven't read any of Rice's book (yet... #PLC has IWTV slated for March through April), but I loved the movies. Queen of the damned is one of my favorites and the soundtrack is amazing. More in comments. ⬇️

I was very sad to hear about the passing of Anne Rice this morning, I have read a lot of her books and loved them, she knew how to make the world of vampires Interesting. RIP Anne Rice

A little heartbroken this morning 💔 Actors and authors aren't generally people we have known but we get to know them through their work and Anne was loved in my home. Ok, I didn't adore the Sleeping Beauty series but no one does vampires like the Queen! Such a sad day for the book community 😪

Sad news. I read Interview with the Vampire in high school and became obsessed with everything Anne Rice. The Mayfair Witches got me through my freshman year of college. My condolences.

RIP Anne Rice. Absolutely devastating news.

It is sad to say we have lost another brilliant author. Her work will continue and she won't be forgotten as a lovely woman 📚❤📖

This breaks my heart. I don't think I could have gotten through high school without Anne's novels 😿

This was not a bad book by any means but I confess I‘m a little disappointed. It‘s so...bleak — for lack of a better word. It‘s long with no chapter breaks which made it a bit of a slog at times. The best way I know of putting it is that it‘s beautifully written but somewhat boring. I will say that I am excited to watch the movie again. I haven‘t seen it since I was a kid. 3⭐️

I usually dislike reading a famous book after having seen the famous movie. But I figured 20 or so years between gave me enough space. LOL. In fact, I was able to envision my own characters and not think of Brad Pitt the entire time.

Why are vampires so sensual? The book was so passionate; love, hatred… you name it. I‘m definitely glad I decided to read it. Although it was dense, my imagination had a blast.

#teamhendrix #scarathlon2021

Up next for #scarathlon2021 Interview with the Vampire. About time I read this one lol! #teamhendrix #yesthatsachristmasmug #andyesiuseitallyear

Audiobooking in front of the fire... until I fell asleep 😅 oops! Now I have to back up and figure out where I lost consciousness lol

“I see …” said the vampire thoughtfully, and slowly he walked across the room towards the window.

#firstlinefridays

One last cottage long weekend. Bringing in the autumn season with this gothic classic. I haven't read it in about 20 years!

#BookCoverChallenge
Day 40.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.

This card from the Fyodor Pavlov tarot came to mind when reading about the Théâtre des Vampires. ?

Pay no mind to Twinkle Toes chomping grass in the background. I will have vomit to clean up later. #ahtheglamorouslife

⬆️Amazing. ⛈ drove our book club into a (LOUD) brewery to have a fragmented conversation about this moody, sensual book.🖤d it as a teen (of course) but this time 🖤d the lush descriptions that ~ bored me then. That is what sets it apart: Yes, there‘s intrigue & drama & 🩸, but it is a gorgeous piece of writing, too. A must read for horror fans even if you think you know what it is/have seen the 🎥. Lots of ideas to sink your teeth into. 🧛🏻‍♂️

I LOVE the saga! Anne Rice is one of my favorite authors. This book is very precious to me. It‘s an old copy. Bummed that the dust jacket is a little damaged, but grateful I have it. I bought it on 2013, here in California. I‘ll never forget it. When I saw it, I screamed. 😂
