Soooooo my hubby pulled a dumb one the other night and asked me why I hadn't told him about Elizabeth Bathory. I ended up throwing (aggressively sliding) books at him because she's literally the subject of my Capstone paper and not so secret obsession. Apparently I also ordered books as revenge. I super sleepy and don't remember the book ordering part. Thankfully I ordered from Thriftbooks so I didn't break the bank!

DrexEdit If he's anything like my husband, you can say it 100 times but he doesn't actually hear it until somebody else brings up the same topic. 😐 😁 7y
BrainyHeroine @DrexEdit we were writing our Capstone right before getting married, so I'll give him a point or two for not remembering. BUT they get taken away when there's dozens of books on her in plain day light in the living room lol 7y
julesG @DrexEdit Like with children. You can say it over and over again, but someone/a random stranger mentions it in a side note and all of a sudden it's the gospel. 7y

MizLit I have 2/3 of the ones on your list. 😁 7y
BrainyHeroine @MizLit which are you missing? I've used 2 for research on my papers and 1 started it all for me lol 7y
MizLit I don't have Blood Countess. I wrote my masters thesis on the female vampire in literature from 1860-1990, pairing two sets of texts for different periods, one from a female author and one from a male author. 😊 7y
BrainyHeroine @MizLit have you done Dracula was a Woman? Also, I'd love to read that. Also also, you should read the Blood Countess. 7y
MizLit @BrainyHeroine I think I tried the Blood Countess and felt meh, but maybe I should try again. I know about Dracula was a Woman, but haven't read it. You know Our Vampires, Ourselves? 7y
BrainyHeroine @MizLit I've heard of it, but haven't read it. 7y
