Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, the Notebook, and Writing

I just finished re-reading Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed it again. I am still in the mood for that sort of book and have no idea what I could read that would satisfy the craving.

I think I enjoyed the first book, The Witching Hour, the most. I enjoyed the historical bits very much.

The sex scenes were not to my taste, but it was worth getting through them to enjoy the rest of the book. That is a personally thing. It has nothing to do with the quality of the writing. What she describes as sexy in a man just grosses me out.

I think I am going to try Blackwood Farm next. I had never heard of it until I was looking around online yesterday trying to figure out what to try next. It is supposed to include characters from the Mayfair Witches and from the Vampire Chronicles. Wish me luck!

I’ll have to order it and wait for it to come, so in the meantime I am reading The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. It’s not the kind of book I normally read. I never would have picked it up if I hadn’t seen the movie. I loved the movie. A friend gave me the book. I decided to try it last night. I made it about halfway through the book in one sitting. So far, I like the movie better. That’s unusual for me.

It has inspired me to get serious about a writing project I have been meaning to work on for a long time, though. I have such a wonderful life now, and I really want to write about how I got here, how I met my husband, and how we came to be so happy together.
