I am back! Please don't think I have NOT been reading since my last post; quite to the contrary. I have been reading books in a few series, though; and repeating books I've already read. I reread the Sookie Stackhouse series up to the release of the newest edition (Dead in the Family) and enjoyed my escape into that dark and yet hilarious world. I also have continued the Louise Rennison series (YA novels written as the diary of a British teenaged girl). It's summer reading time, after all...light and enjoyable reads.
However, I am now back into my read-and-blog vein and I'm jumping in with one of the most known contemporary American authors. Anne Rice has been captivating readers for years, first with her vampire-themed works and more recently with her fictional accounts of the life of Christ.
So how did I pick this novel? Well, my husband was bemoaning the fact that I was reading "crap" with vampires and wizards. Finally he said, "at least read some good vampire writing...read Anne Rice!" So when I was at the library returning a YA novel, I saw this book on the new release shelf and immediately grabbed it. I didn't even read the inside cover. It didn't matter. I was going to show him!! Anne Rice, here I come.
So I'm pages in and I can see what an excellent writer she is. I think I'm going to enjoy this. Happy Reading!
