I identified a bunch of books in the bookstore
My friend and I run a bookclub together, so when we saw Lestat in a bookstore I took it upon myself to write down all the books I could recognize so we could create a shortlist for our bookclub to pick from. After a lot of zooming in, reverse image searching and another reddit post that has unfortunately been deleted, I made a (pretty long) list of the books visible in the background. I love how they sneaked a couple of Daniel's other books in there!
Some books are visible only for a split second so I could not get everything, but even this list would probably take most of us quite some time to get through! I hope you find some inspiration for your next read! Of course feel free to add any books I might have missed.
