OH wow Kristi and Lourdes, I went to add 'Interview With The Vampire' to my TBR (very soon) list, and discovered to my surprise that I have read and rated it two stars! Seems I liked Louis, but hated Lestat! I think I will re-read it.... but right now must admit that I am liking the vampire-Bill in , lol!

Kristi wrote: "Anne Rice's vampires spoiled me for any other. When I first read them as a teen, it made me want to be a vampire. They're dark in places and very sensual. Not like graphic sex but I remember feelin..."

LOL,Kristi, now I'm really curious! :D

Hi Lourdes, this is my first vampire story besides Dracula, which I only rated 3-stars.I already like the character of Sookie Stackhouse so much better than either of the Kinsella characters, and I am finding Dead Until Dark a fun read.
I never tried any of those by Ann Rice, so I probably will.

Tried a second Sophie Kinsella book in a different series and could not finish it either! Just cannot take ridiculously absurd scenarios that are supposed to be believed.

Now I am reading my first Charlaine Harris~

Well I tried my first Sophie Kinsella~ but could not get into it at all! I found the main character unlikeable and just TSTL.The story is ridiculous, about a woman who is heavily in debt because she lacks the self control to resist buying almost everything she sets her eyes on, and things she just thinks about.
Of course in real life her credit card account would have been closed, but in this book, she always has her Visa card to charge even more!
I may try one more book in this series, if I can find a topic that interests me more.

I am almost finished with, and have very much enjoyed the YA-Sci-Fi-Dystopian-
With the way so many people are hooked on their cell phones and apps, I can so see this happening!

Two that she might enjoy are~

You're most welcome Lourdes.

Sadly, I am not impressed with I'm just at 33% ,but already skimming, because it just isn't engaging me. I am struggling to continue.

The next book in line I have already picked up the PB edition from my library of
which was highly recommended by Odette Knappers.

I'm sorry to say that Book 2 of Apparition Lake~ was a disappointment by being over the top with violence and gore, moreso than book 1,which was more than I prefer, so no, I would not recommend these books for those who do not care for than in the books they read. :(

Now as an avid Anglophile and once avid gardener, I am reading a cozy mystery set in England~ I have high hopes for this series! :D

Re: Lourdes, Wow..... a 50-book series! Sadly, because of her use of profanity and sex scenes, Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb is not an author for me. :(

Misty wrote: "I really enjoyed I read it as part of a buddy read and I'm actually eager to continue with the series. For some reason I usually tend to read stand alone novels or jus..."

I'm glad that you enjoyed it, Misty. I was really impressed with it, and loved it, myself.

Excellent, excellent series and I highly recommend it! :D

Re: Lourdes, you are right, it is a fun read, and I am enjoying it. I believe I am going to like this series, so glad that you mentioned it! :D

Am just starting a paranormal cozy suggested by Lourdes~
with my Kindle Unlimited subscription,then plan to read the second book in the
(McCutcheon Family) western historical romance series~

Just finished and loved
which I got as a Kindle Freebie and read way out of order of the series! I loved the characters so much, that now I absolutely MUST read the other 6 books in this(McCutcheon Family) historical western romance series! :D
