I LOVE that every time you finish a book you enjoyed you go back and check if it has really ended or if there are another few pages that you might have skipped😂 I do exactly the same, and I bet tons of readers out there do that.
The Vampire Chronicles is one of my favorite series (even though the plot can go off the rails at times). Lestat is such a great character (one of my all-time favorite characters) and I love the discussions and ideas that Anne Rice explores throughout the series.
Oh, Emma, yes. The loneliness of having no one with whom to converse about books and reading and writing and life. We listen to your wonderful commentaries and enjoy your soothing, uplifting strolls through nature, we go with you to Iceland and we're delighted by your joy there, even as we wish Toronto wasn't so oppressive, or that London might have let you find refuge there more permanently than brief visits home. We listen, but we respond, too, and some of us try to let you know. You're remarkable and a blessing. Thank you for what you do, and for what you give us all. Namaste.
I've had the book on Audible for a long time but I like the movie and I just never got around to listening to the book. I think I will now. edit: Maybe because I'm 67, I'm not sure, but I face each day asking these questions that have no answers. I think the closer you get to death you start to see the world differently than younger folks do. You don't take death and how short life is seriously because you can always just put it out of your mind and move on but as you get older you realize the truth of it all. And you tend to be more isolated and cut off from society, a society that doesn't care much for anyone older than them and has so much life experience to share, so it starts to make you feel like you lived for nothing, other than making some kids, who now ignore you, as you watching younger people think about life based on a much smaller slice of life. I went from idealistic to depressed in those 67 years but as I approach the end I am starting to see what life is about and how you should live it. But without the tools to carry it out. I love your videos. They make me feel alive and your spirit, which I hope you never lose, helps me appreciate life even more.
Wow. I have a lot to say but I’ll try to keep this short (though, not eloquent.) I’ve always cared about older people and love hearing of their experiences in life, but being someone who is only 19, I cannot relate to many of the things that you all go through. Hearing this comment really opened my eyes and my heart. I feel a deep appreciation for you guys now, more than I ever have. It makes me think about my grandma who I’ve always been distant with due to personal reasons. But I do understand her a bit more now. Thank you. I think it’s time for me and her to reconnect.
I just wanted to come back here and say you've convinced me to read interview with the vampire and I'M SHOOK. This is my new favorite. I'm just like *wow, wow*
Interview with the vampire was one of the books that made me fall in love (again) with reading when I was a teenager. I'm so happy you liked it so much!
Recently read Interview with the vampire and was so in love with Anne Rice's writing, the story and the characters that I immediately started The vampire Lestat. It's even better than the 1st book if you can imagine that💖
Dear Emma, this is the first time I am writing to you, I have been enjoying your critical tastes in books for 5 years. I dare to write to you for the first time, because you have just read my first love, Anne Rice is sublime, she accompanied me throughout my all youth. I dare to advise you to read Lestat just when it starts to snow, because his story is the one that will end up captivating you. PD: Try to read them in order..and when you want to take a break from Vampires, and meet the Mayfer Witches, try to do it in the fall. My best wishes.
The Vampire Chronicles have been my absolute favorite series since I was a teenager. If you love Interview I can’t wait for you to read the rest of the series because it’s actually my least favorite! The rest are from Lestat’s point of view and he’s an incredibly complex character that I just fell in love with.
I remember being a teenager and seeing my sisters copy of Interview With The Vampire on our kitchen table one day. I started reading it and quickly finished it. Claudia is such a wonderfully written character. She reminds me a bit of Cosette from Les Mis.
@@emmiereads it’s called “The Vampire”! We just get to read vampire stories and learn about vampires :). Your book recs never miss so I’m sure I’ll have the best time reading it!!
I read interview with the vampire in high school, was a favorite at the time. I recently reread it and i didn’t think my 36 year old self was going to enjoy it as much but it blew me away. Was definitely a fave and a surprise. So happy to hear that you loved it too.
i got through 200 pages of interview with a vampire (my copy is 3 stories in one so it's close to 1200 pages) and i've been stuck there for so long because the language and the length were both so intimidating but this video is motivating me to give it another try because you really highlight what is so special about this book.
I’ve been trying to recommend this book to every booktuber I follow and I am so incredibly happy you love Interview with the Vampire. When I was little my dad showed me the movie and I loved the story finally about 5 years ago, beginning of college I decided to read the book and I fell in love again. So far out of the vampire chronicles I’ve read the first 6 and of course some are better than others but the series has a special place in my heart. ❤
Interview with the Vampire used to be my favourite book ever. My mum has always been obsessed with the movie and she gifted it to me for Christmas when I was 15 and it killed me emotionally. Not only did it get me into reading, but also became my whole personality at the time and I was so, so disappointed with the movie and with the sequel of the book :p. I'm curious to see what it would be like to reread it 15 years later as an adult, but at the same time I'm slightly afraid that it would spoil my very first experience ;) I'm really glad you love it so much. :))
I read Interview when I was a tween lol. It was my first big novel, and it no exaggeration changed my life forever. Rice will hold a special place in my heart forever and always.
Ahhh! I'm so so glad you loved Interview! So much incorporated into it that can be contemplated and discussed, like the characters themselves do. I agree that the end of the book seems like an easy pathway to the next book, but initially it was just a novel and she didn't decide to continue in that universe and make it more fleshed out for a decade. So excited to see how things go as you continue the series, particularly with The Vampire Lestat :)
I totally connect with what you said about the loneliness of not having someone to talk to in depth about books. I'm so glad you started this channel. I hope that I can find my own outlet for my book love.
I love that you talk about why you started your channel. Your channel inspired me to do the same. After you helped me reignite my love of reading I felt lonely not having anyone to talk to about all my books and so I started my channel to talk to the void/mass of the internet too. It’s been so awesome to follow you for the last year when I discovered booktube. You made my life better… thank you Emma 🥰
Oh Emma, it's hard to know where to start this comment. I'm a new sub, but have spent the last weeks watching so many of your older videos. First off, thank you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. You're an inspiration and your content is so beautiful. I've added so many books to my TBR. You've gotten me excited for Classics, for reading books from other countries, for pushing myself to stay vegan, and for so much more. Thank you for helping me find CarolynMarieReads and Ashleigh at A Frolic Through Fiction as well. I took some advice you gave on going backwards chronologically through authors to see how the language changes and be more equipped to read older books. When I get to the 70's (hopefully before the new year comes), Interview is now my official pick. I love your channel. Thank you! Love to you and love to Calcifer.
Omg I just finished Interview with the Vampire a couple days ago! It was also my first time reading it and I loved it. Rice is an agonizingly beautiful writer. I recommend doing some background reading about Anne Rice, her unique upbringing and her grief over the death of her young son. Very interesting lady!
Anne Rice was the most original writer and her vampire and witches series are two of the most extraordinary sets of books. Anne Rice wrote Interview with the Vampire after the death of her little girl, she became fascinated and obsessed with blood because her 5 yo daughter died of a blood disease (not sure if it was Leukemia or something of that sort), in one of the biographies and interviews I listened to Anne said she and her husband went around in a drunken, dazed state after her death and she became intensely aware of blood. She then began to write Interview. Anne Rice was eccentric, sometimes bordering on unusual, even strange, but she was unique and she wrote some of the most extraordinary novels you will ever experience! The world lost an amazing and fascinating writer when she passed away. RIP Anne Rice ♥ 💘 💞
The best part about you finding another favorite is that there is yet another book for all of us to read (at least for myself, your suggestions have been really great). I was actually skeptical this book would be any good so this is a surprise but I trust your judgment.
Love this book. Read it when I was a teenager. Claudia is based on Anne’s daughter Michele who passed away from leukemia when she was a child. Such a beautiful tribute to her.
Emma’s testing hypothermia!! 😅 just what we all needed this Sunday morning a sweet, peaceful, and cozy fall vlog! 🍁Btw the music is just perfect!! If I smile anymore I’ll plotz! ❤
Ha! I’m so glad you love Interview with the Vampire!!! I read it a couple years ago now, I felt the same way. It’s pacing is slow and it’s writing descriptions and characters are deep and passionate. I loved the description of the last sun rise I forgot I read it over and over and over… lol
This vlog is so cozy and healing! ✨️ So thankful I found a channel where I can just randomly tune into and immerse myself with your videos that is especially filled with nature and literature. Which is what I absolutely love
I had a very similar experience reading Interview with the Vampire. I picked it up for the first time this October and had no idea how to even try to talk about it or dissect everything I felt while reading it. Definitely will have to reread it in the future!
I've been in a huge reading slump, haven't read a thing outside of school since May... this vlog inspired me to pick up something from my shelf. Your passion is infectious, I'm always so glad to see what you share!
OMG, I just finished the interview with the vampire this November 2nd after YEARS and YEARS on my shelf too and I was really surprised of how good it was and I don't know why it took me so long to read. My copy is in Portuguese though, but it's translated by our talented Clarice Lispector so it was a plus. Loved your vlog, Emma 🖤
I watched yesterday the last episode of the new "Anna Rice's Interview with the Vampire" and loved it!! The first season is phenomenal, and it has already been renewed for a second one 😍 I recommend it if you liked the book 😊
I absolutely love Interview. The 2nd and 3rd books are great too, but in a different way. The tone and scale are just not something you would expect from reading Interview, but they are still worth reading. I haven't read any other books past #3, since there seems to be a consensus that none of them are on par with the first 3 books and stopping there gives you a full arc.
This is the first one of your vlogs where I've had to intentionally skip some talking sections because I'm currently in the middle of reading this book, and I'm loving it so much that I didn't want anything spoiled even a little bit haha. It is so freaking good, definitely a fast favorite for me as well -- I also can't believe I didn't read it sooner. Can't wait to rewatch this vlog and hear your opinions in their entirety once I finally finish it!
Omg i get what you mean! I felt the same way about A Man Called Ove - been sitting on my shelf for years before deciding to read it and now it is my fave book of all time! 😂
Some random tips for garlic cutting: cut off the bottom where it sits in the bulb (although you don't have to do this, the bottom of the garlic clove is perfectly edible and not something you would notice if you chucked it in a dish), then crush the clove with the flat of the knife. This releases the garlic inside from the skin and then you can literally peel the skin off in basically one piece. It also releases a lot of the flavour, and then you can rough chop it and chuck it into whatever you are eating and you'll have smaller pieces able to spread their flavour through the dish easier :) I would love the recipe for the vegan fish mix you put under the veggies in the tacos!
so glad you loved it! i dropped a comment recommending it on your trip bak home vlog and it's made me so happy to watch you finally read it and enjoy it so much! recs are always a bit of a gamble but i was pretty sure this was a perfect match ;)
I'm happy that you liked Interview with the Vampire. This book has been one of my favourites since my teenage years. There is also a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel by Ashley Marie Witter called Claudia's Story, which tells the story of Interview with the Vampire from Claudia's perspective.
And this my friends is why we read. I read Interview with the Vampire years and years ago, but I've just checked and I still have it on my shelves. I might be tempted to do a cosy re read.
I HOPE you read the sequels. Lestat is SO much more fun as a narrator. His dangerous yet strangely loving nature, his brashness and carelessness, his courage and his amazing love of life mixed with his absolute constant existential dread has made him absolutely one of my favorite characters ever. Just keep in mind that Louis’ characterization of their relationship is only how he saw things, and he’s not always telling (or seeing) the full truth. He’s actually got quite a simple, one-note view of this existence that isn’t always what it truly, fully is. There is wonder and beauty in the savage garden, and Louis misses that fact sometimes. Lestat though? Complicated doesn’t even begin to describe it….. He’s actually quite irresistible once you get to know him! Claudia, though, remains (and always will be) entirely unforgivable 😔
I kind of forgot about Anne Rice, I read her work religiously as a teen. Really loved the vampire chronicles I did read and mayfair witches series. Might go back and reread them since it's been a very long time.
Thank you for this vlog and for sharing your thoughts on _Interview with the Vampire_ . Your video encouraged me to pick up this book. I'm currently reading it and enjoying it immensely, and I too am surprised at how deep the novel is. :)
Hi, Emma! If you are in the mood for one more vampire movie, but one with the existential/romance vibes you seem to enjoy, I'd highly recommend Only Lovers Left Alive, directed by Jim Jarmusch and staring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and based on this vlog, I really think you might like it!
omg i read iwtv 2 weeks ago and it's a new favourite too!!! i read the 2nd book right after and loved it even more (the new amc show is also AMAZING) ♡
OMG Emma, I'm currently watching the series, I think I'll buy the book after❤️❤️ 2023 is for books and watching your videos makes me want to just live in the library
I really loved the scenes at the beginning! OMG, was so relaxing 💕💕💕 in my country there’s not autumn and I love how it looks 🍂 also when you were marking your book! ❤️
I understand completely, I also started booktube as a way to talk to people about books. I need to read Interview With a Vampire, its been on my list for ages
I went to see the movie adaptation ages ago and I remember laughing so much when the movie theatre didn’t have enough space for all the letters of the film title. The display read “Interview with a Vamp”
Book 2, The Vampire Lestat & book 3, Queen of the Damned are, IMO, 2 of the best vampire books ever written. The first 3 books are a complete masterpiece.
I first read it at Uni 20+ years ago and I forget just how good it really is! I have read about two thirds of the series (I think I'm up to Blackwood Farm) and I really need to pick them up again.
Interview with a Vampire is one of the best Anne Rice novels. I also really enjoyed Belinda (published originally under the penname Anne Rampling). It's just as sensual as Interview and comes across as kinda sorta like her attempt at Lolita. Happy Fall!!!
This book ruined me too when I first read it many years ago and then I found myself unable to get out of that world. I read book after book... The vampire Lestat, The queen of the damned, The tale of the body thief, The vampire Armand, Blood and gold... I believe you will enjoy every one of them!
You have convinced me to finally read this book. I do have a question! Do you have a video about how you annotate? What pen are you using and why? Thanks for your wonderful videos.
OMG! Interview with the Vampire is so good!!! I was laughing during your video because we've underlined the same quotes. Actually, my edition ended up pretty much all underlined. 😂💕
heard you talking about it in your 2022 fav books video , lost my mind when I realized that I saw this one in my universitys library and its even a very old copy thee first one actually and after borrowing it I was searching your channel to find a vlog where you talk about it an dim so gladdd I found one
Always stay safe wherever you are. Emmie has always been an inspiration for many of us of here watching her videos regularly. We will all support her until the very end.
Claudia is a love hate for me in the movie, though idk how closely it follows the book. I have been wanting to pick it up also. Maybe it's about time. Louie just stole my heart. I love when a book makes me feel things, yeah I guess I'll pick it up today 😊
Fall is my favorite!! Its been freezing in Maine, except today. Today its close to 70. Interview with a vampire is seriously one of the best vampire books ever!! I love this book I read it when I was YOUNGER and always reread it! If you haven't seen the new TV show for interview with a vampire it's amazing and much more true to story
My friend started watching the tv series that came out in 2022 (co-executive produced by Anne Rice herself!) and she’s raving about it - she’s a big lover of the book series and says the show captures the philosophical themes of the series extremely well
You make me want to re read Interview so bad. Also I have the sequels and before reading them I want to refresh my memory. We actually underlined a few of the same quotes. 😊
I think this is the first time I see you reading something I have read before, and I'm SO glad you enjoyed it, I read the first 3 books, The Vampire Lestat is amazing, starts a bit dumb but the whole book is so good, Lestat is definitely my favorite character. I didn't really like the third one though and it made me stop reading the series, but for now, enjoy The Vampire Lestat, Anne Rice's writing is gorgeous 🙌🏻
❤️❤️interview with a vampire💔💔 I'm so glad you read this! One of my fav books of all time!!! I read it loooong ago and it's always stuck with me. You've inspired me to pick it up again. This book (and movie) brought vampires to the scene way before Twilight ever did. IMO, Twilight doesn't hold a candle to this series. Anne Rice's writing is beautifully tragic. This vlog made my ❤️ so happy.
Emmie!! You Truly made me remember what it's like to have a knife-in-the-heart type feeling for a book. I've been having a major slump with not-so-great books. Thanks for the great recommendation def gonna sprint to read it now
I LOVE that every time you finish a book you enjoyed you go back and check if it has really ended or if there are another few pages that you might have skipped😂 I do exactly the same, and I bet tons of readers out there do that.
😂 gotta make sure
The Vampire Chronicles is one of my favorite series (even though the plot can go off the rails at times). Lestat is such a great character (one of my all-time favorite characters) and I love the discussions and ideas that Anne Rice explores throughout the series.
can I just say how much I love the little interludes of nature and just simple pretty things in your videos? absolutely adore
Oh, Emma, yes. The loneliness of having no one with whom to converse about books and reading and writing and life. We listen to your wonderful commentaries and enjoy your soothing, uplifting strolls through nature, we go with you to Iceland and we're delighted by your joy there, even as we wish Toronto wasn't so oppressive, or that London might have let you find refuge there more permanently than brief visits home. We listen, but we respond, too, and some of us try to let you know. You're remarkable and a blessing. Thank you for what you do, and for what you give us all. Namaste.
Fall+ Gilmore girls+ A good book+ Pumpkin spice latte= Heaven
The absolute best vampire novel, hands down. Your enthusiasm is pulling me to read it again!
I've had the book on Audible for a long time but I like the movie and I just never got around to listening to the book. I think I will now. edit: Maybe because I'm 67, I'm not sure, but I face each day asking these questions that have no answers.

I’m at an age that I understand what you mean.
I just wanted to come back here and say you've convinced me to read interview with the vampire and I'M SHOOK. This is my new favorite. I'm just like *wow, wow*
RIP Anne Rice, This blog makes me want to reread all of her writings! Thank you Emmie.

Interview with the Vampire is on the syllabus of one the uni courses I’m taking right now! This is making me excited to read it!!☺️❤️
oh my gosh amazing, what is the course?!
@@emmiereads it’s called “The Vampire”! We just get to read vampire stories and learn about vampires :). Your book recs never miss so I’m sure I’ll have the best time reading it!!
What in dreamy world is this? A complete course about vampires?? *cries in India*

I feel like after reading the Vampire Lestat I understood him more and why he is how he is, I personally loved it ☺
I was enjoying it until the incestuous undertones because too much for me 😂

A cozy vlog for a cozy Sunday! We asked and Emma delivered! 🤍✨
Ha! I’m so glad you love Interview with the Vampire!!! I read it a couple years ago now, I felt the same way. It’s pacing is slow and it’s writing descriptions and characters are deep and passionate. I loved the description of the last sun rise I forgot I read it over and over and over… lol

YESSSSSS!!! Rice is one of my favorites! I'm so jealous you get to read this one for the first time😍😍😍
I’m so so glad someone else loves Anne Rice as much as I do. I’m on the third book of the Vampire Chronicles now!
Interview with the Vampire had SUCH a big influence on me as a teen. I'd love to revisit it! Thanks for all your thoughts and reactions to it.
I've been in a huge reading slump, haven't read a thing outside of school since May... this vlog inspired me to pick up something from my shelf. Your passion is infectious, I'm always so glad to see what you share!

It is so freaking good, definitely a fast favorite for me as well -- I also can't believe I didn't read it sooner. Can't wait to rewatch this vlog and hear your opinions in their entirety once I finally finish it!
cozy sunday with emmie video. highlight of the day
One of my favorite books! I’ve reread it many times. I’ve read all the Vampire novels. “Interview With The Vampire” is a beautiful read!😍
Omg i get what you mean! I felt the same way about A Man Called Ove - been sitting on my shelf for years before deciding to read it and now it is my fave book of all time! 😂
A Man Called Ove is one of the best things I've ever read.
Definitely adding interview with the vampire to my list. Perhaps it would make a good winter read?
Yes!!!!
Some random tips for garlic cutting: cut off the bottom where it sits in the bulb (although you don't have to do this, the bottom of the garlic clove is perfectly edible and not something you would notice if you chucked it in a dish), then crush the clove with the flat of the knife. This releases the garlic inside from the skin and then you can literally peel the skin off in basically one piece. It also releases a lot of the flavour, and then you can rough chop it and chuck it into whatever you are eating and you'll have smaller pieces able to spread their flavour through the dish easier :)
I would love the recipe for the vegan fish mix you put under the veggies in the tacos!
I totally approve of the map - it actually shows New Zealand AND has it in the correct place :D
so glad you loved it! i dropped a comment recommending it on your trip bak home vlog and it's made me so happy to watch you finally read it and enjoy it so much! recs are always a bit of a gamble but i was pretty sure this was a perfect match ;)
YES!! This is my all time fav-I had a feeling you would love it. I want to live in Anne Rice’s descriptions!
It's so good!!!
something i didn't know i needed: emmie's review of interview with the vampire
Ok, you've captured my interest in this book!!! Requested a kindle copy from my library 😁. Have an awesome weekend!!!
ooh hope you love it!!! you too beautiful
I'm happy that you liked Interview with the Vampire. This book has been one of my favourites since my teenage years. There is also a gorgeously illustrated graphic novel by Ashley Marie Witter called Claudia's Story, which tells the story of Interview with the Vampire from Claudia's perspective.
And this my friends is why we read. I read Interview with the Vampire years and years ago, but I've just checked and I still have it on my shelves. I might be tempted to do a cosy re read.
Dear Emma. Just my opinion - let the first book stand on its own!!! kind regards, Hanne from Denmark
3:27 yes! This is how I felt recently after reading The Kite Runner.
I HOPE you read the sequels. Lestat is SO much more fun as a narrator. His dangerous yet strangely loving nature, his brashness and carelessness, his courage and his amazing love of life mixed with his absolute constant existential dread has made him absolutely one of my favorite characters ever.
Just keep in mind that Louis’ characterization of their relationship is only how he saw things, and he’s not always telling (or seeing) the full truth. He’s actually got quite a simple, one-note view of this existence that isn’t always what it truly, fully is.
There is wonder and beauty in the savage garden, and Louis misses that fact sometimes. Lestat though? Complicated doesn’t even begin to describe it…..
He’s actually quite irresistible once you get to know him!
Claudia, though, remains (and always will be) entirely unforgivable 😔
I kind of forgot about Anne Rice, I read her work religiously as a teen. Really loved the vampire chronicles I did read and mayfair witches series. Might go back and reread them since it's been a very long time.
Interview with the Vampire is one of my favorite books, and i love the movie too. Calcifer is so cuuuuute! Best vlog, Emma! ❣️❣️❣️❣️
I loved the vampire lestat :3
Thankyou for another beautiful video. As always, the friend we all wish we had x
I have never read the interview with the vampire but I loved the movie, the idea of life and death and immortality captured me.
Thank you for this vlog and for sharing your thoughts on _Interview with the Vampire_ . Your video encouraged me to pick up this book. I'm currently reading it and enjoying it immensely, and I too am surprised at how deep the novel is. :)
Hi, Emma! If you are in the mood for one more vampire movie, but one with the existential/romance vibes you seem to enjoy, I'd highly recommend Only Lovers Left Alive, directed by Jim Jarmusch and staring Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and based on this vlog, I really think you might like it!
omg i read iwtv 2 weeks ago and it's a new favourite too!!! i read the 2nd book right after and loved it even more (the new amc show is also AMAZING) ♡
ah amazing, I just saw about the new show - so glad to hear good things!!
@@emmiereads hope you like it if you do end up watching it!
The new interview with the vampire tv series is soooooo good!
OMG Emma, I'm currently watching the series, I think I'll buy the book after❤️❤️ 2023 is for books and watching your videos makes me want to just live in the library
I really loved the scenes at the beginning! OMG, was so relaxing 💕💕💕 in my country there’s not autumn and I love how it looks 🍂 also when you were marking your book! ❤️
This review made me pick it up. Thanks Emma. I’m really enjoying it.
I understand completely, I also started booktube as a way to talk to people about books. I need to read Interview With a Vampire, its been on my list for ages
I went to see the movie adaptation ages ago and I remember laughing so much when the movie theatre didn’t have enough space for all the letters of the film title.
The display read “Interview with a Vamp”
I must read this book now! I’ve heard such wonderful things
Is it "An interview with the Vampire"? Your videos' notifications are just what I need at my weekends.
yes!!!! and I'm so glad :') have a great end to your weekend!
@@emmiereads make sure to read the sequel!
The tv show Interview with a Vampire is outstanding!!
Book 2, The Vampire Lestat & book 3, Queen of the Damned are, IMO, 2 of the best vampire books ever written. The first 3 books are a complete masterpiece.
I've always liked the movie, and the new show looks interesting. There goes Emmie making me wanna drop everything for a book again 😄
the nature shots in this vlog were absolutely beautiful emma! wow🧡🍂
Glad you liked them!!🌿🍃💙
I first read it at Uni 20+ years ago and I forget just how good it really is! I have read about two thirds of the series (I think I'm up to Blackwood Farm) and I really need to pick them up again.
you should check out Thirst, the Park Chan-wook film. It's very loosely based on Therese Raquin by Zola, but is also a very good vampire film
Interview with a Vampire is one of the best Anne Rice novels. I also really enjoyed Belinda (published originally under the penname Anne Rampling). It's just as sensual as Interview and comes across as kinda sorta like her attempt at Lolita. Happy Fall!!!
Oh to experience and see fall's beauty!! Being a southeast asian the closest thing to seasons is when rain starts hailing lol
This book ruined me too when I first read it many years ago and then I found myself unable to get out of that world. I read book after book... The vampire Lestat, The queen of the damned, The tale of the body thief, The vampire Armand, Blood and gold... I believe you will enjoy every one of them!
You have convinced me to finally read this book. I do have a question! Do you have a video about how you annotate? What pen are you using and why? Thanks for your wonderful videos.
I love Calcifer. I just needed to say that.
OMG! Interview with the Vampire is so good!!! I was laughing during your video because we've underlined the same quotes. Actually, my edition ended up pretty much all underlined. 😂💕
heard you talking about it in your 2022 fav books video , lost my mind when I realized that I saw this one in my universitys library and its even a very old copy thee first one actually and after borrowing it I was searching your channel to find a vlog where you talk about it an dim so gladdd I found one
Always stay safe wherever you are. Emmie has always been an inspiration for many of us of here watching her videos regularly. We will all support her until the very end.
Claudia is a love hate for me in the movie, though idk how closely it follows the book. I have been wanting to pick it up also. Maybe it's about time. Louie just stole my heart. I love when a book makes me feel things, yeah I guess I'll pick it up today 😊
Fall is my favorite!! Its been freezing in Maine, except today. Today its close to 70. Interview with a vampire is seriously one of the best vampire books ever!! I love this book I read it when I was YOUNGER and always reread it! If you haven't seen the new TV show for interview with a vampire it's amazing and much more true to story
My friend started watching the tv series that came out in 2022 (co-executive produced by Anne Rice herself!) and she’s raving about it - she’s a big lover of the book series and says the show captures the philosophical themes of the series extremely well
You make me want to re read Interview so bad. Also I have the sequels and before reading them I want to refresh my memory. We actually underlined a few of the same quotes. 😊
I think this is the first time I see you reading something I have read before, and I'm SO glad you enjoyed it, I read the first 3 books, The Vampire Lestat is amazing, starts a bit dumb but the whole book is so good, Lestat is definitely my favorite character. I didn't really like the third one though and it made me stop reading the series, but for now, enjoy The Vampire Lestat, Anne Rice's writing is gorgeous 🙌🏻
❤️❤️interview with a vampire💔💔 I'm so glad you read this! One of my fav books of all time!!! I read it loooong ago and it's always stuck with me. You've inspired me to pick it up again.
This book (and movie) brought vampires to the scene way before Twilight ever did. IMO, Twilight doesn't hold a candle to this series. Anne Rice's writing is beautifully tragic.
This vlog made my ❤️ so happy.
interview with the vampire is SO GOOD!!! it's revolting how disappointing the sequels are
Emmie!! You Truly made me remember what it's like to have a knife-in-the-heart type feeling for a book. I've been having a major slump with not-so-great books. Thanks for the great recommendation def gonna sprint to read it now
the vibes were immaculate, as usual ✨👌
