Oooh I've been wanting to do an Anne Rice Vampires reread too, at least up to Body Thief, after seeing the S3 teaser.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Maybe not until the POV switch?
I think it was after the POV switch that I really started liking them.

Okay. I really don't want to DNF Casey McQuiston, so I will trust that Kit's POV will eventually make me less irritated with Theo's nepo-baby whining.

after seeing the S3 teaser
Yeah, that's pretty much why

So, Mercy of the Gods is my listen-while-commuting book right now. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about it yet, I can’t tell where it’s going enough to be emotionally prepared for, like, anything, but I definitely like how alien the aliens are. Not just humans in costumes, you know? And I think I just met a particularly intelligent shade of blue, which delights me

Have you ever read Startide Rising by David Brin?
In the sequel -- The Uplift War -- the aliens are ever weirder. I really enjoyed those stories, I should re-read them again.

I listened to Sundiver a few weeks ago, which was the first of the Uplift series. I enjoyed the alieness of the aliens. Brin is pretty clunky with the love interest parts, but, eh, whatever. Or, was in this one anyway. But I think I liked it enough to continue.

I read Sundiver out of order, didn’t like it as well, don’t remember why.
Then there is a second trilogy, also weird but fun.

I actually just downloaded Startide Rising after reading your.post. Sundiver was a bit of a slog at parts, but overall a cool conceit, I thought. Looking forward to this one. Also, it was free!

I read those a million years ago and don’t remember much, although I do know I liked the series. Making a note to myself to revisit
Eta: ooh, free is good! Add to library!
