I like it but I don't know if I could read all of them. I found this one at a little library so if I came across more in the series, I'd pick them up.
I loved Anne Rice's series when they came out, but I must admit to getting over them after about the fifth installment. Gothic is terrific when you are in the right frame of mind, but I don't know that I have gotten in that particular frame of mind since. I may need to revisit.

I've not read anything by Anne Rice. I want to read The Witching Hour
Derrick wrote: "I've not read anything by Anne Rice. I want to read The Witching Hour..."I liked the Mayfair Witch saga as much as the Vampire saga! They intersect pretty often. Maybe even more so than King's macroverse.

Aw man don't tell me that. Now I'll for sure have to read all that lol
Reading Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind with my mom -- we read a bit then do a "book chat". Also reading The Gameshouse, which WOW.
In these days I'm reading The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True a funny adventure with some incredible characters. :)
Oh, I also recently finished rereading Gone with the Wind. Problematic, as we all know, but fascinating to re-read right now with all the discussion about Civil War monuments and the heightened awareness of systemic racism. This time through I also picked up on a range of other more subtle things as well. Very interesting.

The only other book I have read by her is Angel Time, another little library find, but I didn't care much for it.

I finished The Goldfinch, which I really enjoyed. Now I’m starting The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I enjoyed their other book (The Night Circus) quite a lot even though it was not my usual genre at all, so I bought this one on sight!

I have the Night Circus coming from the library, I haven't read her before.

I haven't read anything else by Morgenstern, but I LOVED The Night Circus. I'll have to look for this one.
I am reading The Summer House by James Patterson and Brendan Dubois. I am also reading Two Kinds of Truths by Michael Connelly.
Today I started Lo sguardo lento delle cose mute, a short novel "The Kingkiller Chronicle" series, focused on the character of Auri. I don't think it will add useful info about the main plot, but its a good chance to know more about an intriguing character.
They Came with the Rain by Christopher Coleman. Only about 12% in but loving the creep factor. Lots is WTF is going on!?! at the end of each chapter
Just finished The Sundown Motel, excellent book, and I'm also reading Home Before Dark it two has been very good about 1/4 through it.

The Starless Sea was good but I liked The Night Circus better.

Kandice , she really captured Fell,New York as sort of town that time forgot like it still 1982. It has the fell of early 80s horror movies. I will read other books Simone St.James. I think you are store for a great read.

Interesting (not in a good way) that Goodreads' search function turns up zilch in response to the title "Sundown Motel" (or Hotel). Unless one types it in as "Sun Down Motel" (with "sun" and "down" as separate words), GR thinks there's no such book.
I'm currently reading The Teleportation Accident and Small Game Hunting at the Local Coward Gun Club. And since I enjoyed it so much the first time I read it, I've finally decided to undertake a reread of SK's Under the Dome.
Recently finished The Bad Seed (eek!) and re-reads of Stories of Your Life and Others and Hotel Du Lac. Currently working on Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible along with Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind (reading and discussing with my mom, which is fun).

I LOVE this book! Incredibly clever ending.
Today I started Le meraviglie del mondo antico, interesting book by an Italian archaeologist.Maybe there are too many references to documents and ancient books, but it's a good reading.
My supervisor gave me a $25 gift card to Barnes & Noble as a reward for quitting smoking. I got Insomnia because one can't go to the bookstore and not get a Stephen King book. I also got a nonfiction book about a mafia boss who pretended to be crazy for like 30 years just to avoid being caught by law enforcement.
