the fontevrault sounds like it looks exactly like (or similar to) the house in resident evil 7

it's too early in the morning to deal with anne rice saying the taltos built stonehenge after they emigrated from their dying island (she is the funniest person in the world)

awww mona thinks oncle julien is in heaven that's so sweet (mind you that man is being spit roasted by memnoch himself as i type this)

the random donna tartt mention made me say "what the fuck" out loud by accident

"finally, helpless, she said: 'do you like me?'
he said: 'you're beautiful.'
she was."

I'M GONNA BE SICK!!!!

duke university mention ewwwww

three books in this is the first time i have seen "fixin' to" be used. real southern lingo finally

sometimes when you read an anne rice book you just have to pause and take a deep breath. what do you mean lasher 1.0’s original mother was anne boleyn? anne rice can't answer that and neither should anyone else.

i didn't even consider the possibility that michael was a [redacted]. i didn't see that coming. i did Not see that coming.

DAVID TALBOT MENTIONED!!!!!!!!!!

i forgot how much mona reminds me of amma from sharp objects

i know that mayflair clan were in their houses calling this a shotgun wedding. they met around august 13 and are getting married november 1. not even the mormons of twilight were moving like that.

michael being the same age as deidre is so crazy

so i'm supposed to care about a whole chapter on daeju... this man better be visited by three ghosts by the end of it.

oh my god mona is actually mentioned in this one

well... incest presence confirmed and then confirmed again. it's almost admirable (it's not) how little anne rice shies away from the taboo.

i know i'm the problem for not expecting incest in an anne rice novel but i just did not expect the modern mayfair witch lineage to be borne from it (holding for confirmation)

gallier house mention!!!

you know, having my birthday mentioned in more than one book is so interesting. what do y'all lnow about august 13th.

IF I LOVED YOU LESS, I MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

book so good i need to reread it within six months of finishing it for the first time

"we are not so wicked as that in germany." give it five years, girl, you'll be a whole lot worse, actually.

dr. fauci being involved in both the ebola outbreaks of the mid-2010s and the covid-19 pandemic is insane. what a long and exhausting career that man has had.

not the casual mention of the husband stitch... lulu blink twice if you want me to kill your husband for you

it's very hard not to read this and think about the similarities to the original covid-19 pandemic.

birthday mention

what a humane and thought provoking way to explain how a virus can spread. preston uses key terms and phrases to show that love and humanity are exploited by disease by accident and cause harm in ways people did not dream of or mean to. what a kind way to should the blame solely on the soulless virus, not the people who are just trying to show love to those around them.

"ebola virus moves from one person to the next by following the deepest and most personal ties of love, care, and duty that join people to one another and most clearly define us as human. the virus exploits the best parts of human nature as a means of travel from one person to the next. in this sense the virus is a true monster."

"a liter of seawater contains more virus particles than any other form of life." thank you once again to richard preston for sentences that keep me up at night.

a small section of the book takes place on my birthday yaaaaaaaay
