Can i join the club....the club of people who needs books?? cause i really need books.
Bridie...what is like a mini plot summary of the vampire books you were talking about>

HMC is my favourite movie, love love love studio ghibli! howl is sooo charming!

The first book is called Interview With The Vampire in which the 200 year old vampire Louis describes his life in an interview with some boy... It describes how he came to have his dark gifts and such, how he lived as a "family" with Lestat & Claudia in New orleans until treachery tears them apart and he ends up on the search for others like him in europe.

The second is The Vampire Lestat. In which Lestat has awoken from his deep sleep in the earth and writes his story so far in a book and publishes it. It tells of how he ran away to paris with his best friend, how he saved his mother from death, his first encounter with Armand & Marius and his adventurs in the "savage garaden".

The third is Queen of The Damned Once again, written by Lestat, it tells of how Queen of The Damned and mother of all vampires re- awakens after 6 thousand years of sleep to let loose her powers. She plans to kill most of humanity and take over the worlds of both living and undead. It falls to Lestat to stop her as he is quite responsible for her awakening. In the book it explains how and roughly when vampires were created.

The first two are set in i think... 16th centurary America, Europe (mainly france) and the third kind of modern day America with bits from the past. There are more, 12 i believe in total, but i wasnt so impressed with Tale Of The Body Theif, Memnoch the devil was OK but not as good. Im yet to buy the rest... I hear they get worse. There are also a few others set outside the seires. Ive read Pandora Which is about well the vampire pandora, thats rather good.

**piglover4551** · November 6th, 2006, 07:40 PM

hmmmmm...i guess i could....lol...umm..where to start

1st of all its tamora peirce so its good, i think its better than her first ones b/c it just is, ok? ok LOL...its about Beka cooper and her life, she jions the dogs (which is like the gaurd) but as all ppl has to start out as a puppy with her traineers. Having grown up in the lower city she knows lots of ppl and has some special gifts to help her in her journey. Her cat pounce is also there to help her, she has her old friends from before trianeers were assigned and makes some very helpful friends on the way. Its sorta a mystery once u get into it, a very good one too, and maybe its just me

but i see a lilttle bit of romance coming in the next ones!

bu i dont want to give too much away, im not too good at descrbing tho, maybe rheingold can give you a better idea

**Rheingold** · November 6th, 2006, 08:26 PM

Um, well....It's about Beka Cooper and her training as a Provost's Dog (kinda like a police force). It's the first book that Tamora has written in the first person (which I find AWESOME!

) and it's written like a diary. It's kinda like the Keladry books in that it's her training, but it's more mystery....Kind of like Shatterglass. That's all I'll say without putting any spoilers in. I'm trying for the first time ever to put an image in (of the cover), let's hope it works.

*crosses fingers* Here is a link to her homepage. You can get to a page about Terrier from there by clicking on it.

Rosto spoiler:

Spoiler:

I LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!! I really hope he becomes the Rogue, but a more "respectable" one, kind of like George, and that eventually he decides to retire and marry Beka.

**StarLily** · November 6th, 2006, 09:46 PM

woa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice cover!!! *yells to dad* WE'RE GOING TO THE BOOKSTORE!!!!!!!!!!!

**cheese** · November 6th, 2006, 09:47 PM

I read Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice quite a long time ago. What I can remember though was that in my opinion it had way to much dialogue, though I found it to be still really good. She creates fascinating vampires.

**Rheingold** · November 6th, 2006, 09:50 PM

StarLily--you have to read ALL of the books that come before first!
