My copy has 659 pages. Guess there were some additions.

First time read, although I have read most of the series out of order. Enjoying the read so far and interesting to see the constant changes with Lestat. Plus David definitely one of my favourite characters in the series.

Has been decades since I first read this. Amazing how much I do remember, mostly because of the movie. Also very different impact in my 60's versus early 20's

Wow, crazy behind on reading and keeping up with Goodreads. But life has been busy. My youtube channel has been growing, busy outdoors enjoying the yard. As I continue to get more organized, will make a point of checking in more often and updating my reads.

Woo hoo challenge done which means no more stressing about numbers. Many fun reads ahead and thanks to my latest book haul sooooo many new projects about to start. Hope everyone is enjoying their reads.

If you enjoy watching interviews with musicians, you will enjoy the beginning of this book. Following a rock band making a comeback and various mishaps along the way.

The story follows the McLean family as they are uprooted from their rural home and forced to move to Glasgow during the 1800's. However living in the city does not agree with them and they are about to head to Canada for a hopeful return to rural living and a better future.

Wish this had been one of my text books when I was working on my degree. Easy to follow, examples include the episodes mentioned. Even if you are not a Star Trek fan as I am, you can relate to the examples as the authors do a good job of comparing alien to the everyday world experiences of humans.

Nice start to new year - 4 books done. Sadly glitch with Goodreads and won't let me add the read books, ugh joys of tech. Hope everyone is doing well with their reading.

My second read through the series. Enjoying as much as the first time. Extra fun this time as doing it as a group read.

Just starting but thinking I may have read this before years ago. Keeps talking about Milton's Paradise Lost.

Yet another author who takes zero responsibility for his own choices and actions. That whole, the Devil made it do it ,excuse is just beyond pathetic!!! Will eventually finish the book but not any time soon.

Enjoyable read, third time and each time something new to connect and consider.

Sadly like David Wilcox, another one who takes zero responsibility for his actions and behaviour. Seems everything is everyone else's fault. Both of these authors demonstrate why using drugs has long term consequences and not always physical.

Still need to finish this list, but currently off reading other subjects at the moment. Currently enjoying Book Trek on Youtube and definitely some much needed light reading.

Going in the DNF category

Woo hoo reading challenge complete. Now I can read for the simple joy of reading without worrying about meeting a goal.

Just finished Postmortem, first book. Funny reading about typewriters and how many people smoke. Internet not around yet so still using dial up and modems. Definitely a twist near the end, personally I think she could have got to it sooner, dragged a bit in the middle.

Currently working on the 24 in 2024 read of banned books. Has been an interesting exploration of both books and articles about the subject. At the moment I have focused on Canada, where I live, as well as the United States and United Kingdom. Mind blowing that now 2024 and people are still burning books and trying to limit access to resources. Just WOW.

Part way through second read. Some interesting points, but definitely did some cherry picking and avoided research relevant to the subject areas he is trying to say are not real. Can't say I am impressed but useful in terms of sources he cites and why he does not effectively make his case. Also points out that although a Professor, does not always mean quality research or accurate facts.

Freedom to Read Week in Canada. I have currently finished 1984, Marked and Go Ask Alice. The next 2 books I will be reading this week are Looking for Alaska and starting The Handmaid's Tale.

Will be starting in the next few days. Read this a number of years ago and found it to be good story. Reading it again as part of the banned book challenge to read 24 books from the banned book list in 2024.

Part 1 of the book is about his experience. Part 2 is more technical and about the craft and the Grays. Food for thought.

Excellent read, just keep getting sidetracked with other books.

Started a couple of days ago after finishing his book, The 4 purposes of life. Read both of these years ago, was time to revisit. Useful tips and reminds me of The Celestine Prophecy and The Power of Now - same message just different way to present.

I read this years ago, before I had heard of Esther Hicks and Abraham. Reading this again decades later, interesting how much sounds like Hicks who did meet Jane Roberts and also read Seth Speaks.

Easier to follow this series after the da vinci spiral reading, easier to connect all the information he presents.

Excellent read. Borrowed from the library, will be buying my own copy.

Planned to finish this months ago, but this is when the da vinci spiral began and my tbr went out the window. So like several other books this one is waiting
