"Interview with the Vampire" {by Anne Rice} Movie Pictures

I thought it would be fun to post some of the photos from the Interview with the Vampire movie while your reading along. That way, you can envision yourself sandwiched in between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise while your finishing you reading.
(No... Just me?)

The ENTIRE Vampire Chronicles, in case you were wondering


Vampire Chronicles is a series of 10, count them, 10 novels by Anne Rice that revolves around the fictional character Lestat, a French nobleman made into a vampire in the 18th century.
When I started reading "Interview with the Vampire" I only knew of the first three books (Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and Queen of the Damned), but after doing a little research discovered that this series has been going on for 34 years!
The picture above shows ALL the books in the series in the correct order if you are interested in reading through the entire chronicles but I warn you, that mean you would be reading over 4232 pages of vampire lore and history!
Are you up to the task?
(Maybe I'll read them over the course of the next 34 years, that's fair right?)

"Mockingjay" {by Suzanne Collins} Book Review

(Source)
Mockingjay

Author: Suzanne Collins

# of Pages: 400

Year Published: 2010

Publisher: Scholastic Press

Genre: Young Adult

Summary:
Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. Gale has escaped. Katniss's family is safe. Peeta has been captured by the Capitol. District 13 really does exist. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

It is by design that Katniss was rescued from the arena in the cruel and haunting Quarter Quell, and it is by design that she has long been part of the revolution without knowing it. District 13 has come out of the shadows and is plotting to overthrow the Capitol. Everyone, it seems, has had a hand in the carefully laid plans--except Katniss.

The success of the rebellion hinges on Katniss's willingness to be a pawn, to accept responsibility for countless lives, and to change the course of the future of Panem. To do this, she must put aside her feelings of anger and distrust. She must become the rebels' Mockingjay--no matter what the personal cost.

Our Rating...
