pickAnne Rice built an entire universe of fear and gothic romance in her career and this epic of a book highlights everything she did well. I loved Part 2 of this novel with its historical narratives and point of view changes. Unfortunately, the story does not end on the final page, as a sequel promises to tell more. So be wary, dear reader, and only dive in if you plan to wander down the path of terror (I‘ll be waiting until next October to proceed).
Oh, to hear Anne‘s voice again. Link to listen: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/nprs-book-of-the-day/id1587369865?i=100073...

I read this as a teenager and loved it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the rest of the trilogy.
I recommend The Witching Hour by Anne Rice as a possible October read. It‘s been around awhile, and has a TV series, but the book is different. I‘m a lifelong horror fan, but this book unsettled me more than any other horror book I‘ve read. So if you are looking for actual creeps and chills this spooky season, you might give it a try!

pickThe 3rd book of this series, and I only read it because the tv series is starting this fall. I'm not a fan of Anne Rice. This book was 906 pages with a waiting list, so I read it fast. I had 1 hour left on my hold and just finished it. #Read2025 @DieAReader

so-soThis 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!
