In other news, while writing & LJ were being neglected...
- 15:00 Finally found title of vampire book I loved but lent out ages ago! Just ordered a copy from alibris.com ! Made my day! #
- 16:51 @linlori Innocence by Jane Mendelsohn. Quick read (gothic nov) heavy on the allegory & darkness. What Twilight would've been if it were Lit. #
- 16:56 @linlori Sound familiar? MC Beckett, lives with dad in NYC, highly beautiful grp of girls @ new school, there's a boy & strangeness ensues. #
- 16:57 @linlori Basically, I just like Beckett's voice and the haunting/lyrical way she tells her story. Wonder if SMeyer read it & was inspired. #
- 17:01 @linlori Now why did you have to tell me that?! :) Gah! That's weak! I guess she never read Rice either, the books are deeper than the flick #
- 17:02 @linlori TLB was SO not creepy. She's not that much older than me & I thought it was great as a kid, just darker Goonies. Whatev! #
- 17:08 @linlori I devoured Rice & she ruined me forever for lesser vampires. I'd run off with Louis no question & be always in awe of Lestat. Srsly #
- 17:19 @linlori One of my BFFs is similarly afflicted. :) She was his apologist for me & made her case so I can see now why some adore him so. #
- 17:20 @linlori I seriously know the feeling. That's how I lost Innocence. Try alibris.com. My new copy of Innocence: $1.99. I'm very happy. #
- 17:41 @linlori What was the thing that pulled you in? The danger factor? The perpetual seduction mode? Lestat worried me from the start. Yikes! #
- 17:43 @justcallmesamma That's crap! Who's trying to peddle that shite?! #
- 17:46 @justcallmesamma Please do report back with what they're saying. That's lunacy! Frakkers! #
- 17:56 @justcallmesamma Absolutely understandable. Ridiculous! #
- 17:57 @linlori Agreed. I have to admit to being fascinated by his comfort with his nature & the ease with which he killed. Wholly compelling. #
- 17:58 @Phyaflyjones What the hell are they advertising?! I've seen both versions & can't figure it out! #
- 17:59 Must get food... heading to kitchen. #
- 07:59 @linlori You know, I've not read any of her newest obsession. I imagine if ARs style is still the same, I'll still be pulled in. And you? #
- 08:02 Wrote until 2:30 this morning. It was bliss. :) Now I've got work to do & an important project to finish. Gotta get on & get my coffee. #
- 09:07 Making my peace with the Twilight series: tinyurl.com/7fehor . It has finally come to pass. #
- 09:09 @linlori I don't know if that's good or bad. :/ I don't mind change of theme, I think, but has her style changed as well? Could be a prob. #
