First of all I wanted to say your blog is my favourite blog on tumblr, and I find your posts to be hilarious. But let’s get to the question. What book do you think is the best VC book and what book do you think is the worst/most disappointing VC book? I want to read all the VC books. I’m currently reading MTD (which I don’t really like) and I wondered what your favourite book in the series is and which you liked the least. As for myself, I can’t choose between IWTV or TVL being my favourite.

omg mine is your favorite? *flails* Thank u! If u love this blog, u love the VC fandom by default.

My fave VC changes over time. When I first started, I was definitely more IWTV, I identified with Claudia, and then Louis. It wasn’t until later that I switched over to Team Lestat. Claudia is very nearly the biological daughter he probably would have had deserved, in a mortal Lestat AU!

When I reread the books now, I see different things than before, now that I’m older. I can see the parenting perspective better now, for example. 

I feel like someone just asked me my fave recently and I think I said TVL, bc it’s the one that’s stood the test of time the most for me, probably.

Least favorite also changes over time. I’m a very generous person tho, I can find beauty and salvage elements/quotes/scenes from books, movies, etc, that I otherwise don’t like as a whole. Same is true for VC. Lots of gems tossed in amongst the later canon that you’ll only really appreciate if you excavate them yourself ;]

I wouldn’t call it disappointing per se, but I admit that I didn’t really enjoy Blackwood Farm, I’d say that was my least favorite, consistently. It’s almost a stand-alone novel. Probably the reason I don’t like it as much is bc it’s almost a stand-alone novel.
