My Anne Rice books so far...

First off, I want to apologize that I have kept this blog silent for several months. Work got in the way, and all sorts of other things. But enough excuses. It's time to get things going again, especially that Beauty's Kingdom, the fourth in the Sleeping Beauty series (making it a quartet) is coming out 21st April. I do not know if its release date in Manila's bookstores will coincide with the US release. I do hope so. I remember the mad scramble for Prince Lestat in October last year. I was so stressed out when there were no copies anywhere because they were sold out within a day!

So I'm wiser now and reserved my copy of Beauty's Kingdom.

I want to make this updated list of my Anne Rice hardbounds as of yet. It is also a shoutout to the Book God, to the God of Literature, to help me acquire the few titles I don't have yet in hardbound. Please pray along with me.

So here's a little chart. I think I began buying straight from the bookstore hardcovers only since Out of Egypt. It was only then that I discovered the joy of collecting first editions. The rest I got from online booksellers or secondhand bookstores.
