Day 22 - Favorite book you own

A lot of these final questions are getting difficult to answer. I honestly don't have answers for a couple of them, so I will probably skip them instead of babbling with some suedo-made up answer. But today I do have an answer, and of course I have a copy of my favorite book ever, we already mentioned my love for The Shining, so we'll go with my number two. My favorite book I own is The Witching Hour by Anne Rice.



I don't remember when I first fell in love with the Mayfair Witches. I think it was sometime in high school, after Queen of the Damned came out in theaters, and I decided to read that book, which led me to Rice's other books. That sounds probable, anyway. The Witching Hour is very long, but it doesn't feel that way. The story is rich in detail centering around one of the best ancient familial sagas I've ever read. It's also the book that caused my mother to stop asking me questions about what I was reading ;) I quite adore it, and it's what spurned my love of all things New Orleans. Sidenote: I would adore a movie adaptation.

From Amazon: In this engrossing and hypnotic tale of witchcraft and the occult spanning four centuries, we meet a great dynasty of witches--a family given to poetry and incest, to murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is haunted by a powerful, dangerous and seductive being.
