What a fun audiobook! I love when there are multiple narrators 😁 This is a classic book and I completely understand why 🥰 I enjoyed the story and can‘t wait to rewatch van helsing now!

Apologies for the lateness, I was distracted irl.
So, did you enjoy Dracula? I'm interested to know your thoughts.
🧛♂️ Did you like the epistolary format?
🧛♂️ Do you think it added to the suspense and tension?
🧛♂️ What do you consider to be the main message of the book?
🧛♂️ Do you think there is a subtext or deeper meaning?
🧛♂️ Why was the book banned?
I'm so happy that I finally read this book. It was wonderful and the perfect read for #scarathlon! Plus, I got to check off a October bucket list item by reading out by my pool this weekend while it was simply beautiful out. Now it is just cold and gloomy.

James Tynion is taking on Dracula!!! This first issue is fantastic—gorgeous art and a fantastically creepy vibe. Cannot wait to read the entire run. This is going to be fun. 🧛

Pumpkin carving with the family! And I just had to start one of my favorite Halloween stories while carving this little fellow! 🎃
I haven‘t read Bram Stoker‘s masterpiece since I was a teenager and when I tell you this book gave me the same goosebumps that the original novel did year ago I mean it. Absolutely wonderful. Gorgeous artwork and of course familiar yet unsettling story. #scarathlon2023 #scarathlon #mischiefandmayhem

1. ❤️
2. Tagged. I had to go with a book I love, even though it‘s a bit awkward to use a ❤️ emoji for Dracula!! 😂😂
I love reading your responses to these posts. Always fun to see if there are more books to add to my tbr list.
So I‘ll go first: Dracula! The Historian is a close second. It‘s a coincidence that they are themed. I just love both these books, as well as The Count of Monte Cristo, but it‘ll be awhile before I read that chunkster again.
#scarathlon #batbrigade and all teams and everyone else!
@Catsandbooks
I listened to 3 books so far for #littenlisten for a total of 290 points + 1 for this post. #scarathlon #batbrigade
I‘ve read Dracula many times but this was my first time listening to it. A really fun experience! But I got really fed up with Van Helsing, which I never experienced with prior reads. Tim Curry is brilliant narrating his parts but dang is Van Helsing long-winded and quite the know-it-all! 😂 I can‘t help but wonder why the other characters don‘t call him out for being so condescending! Anyway, loved it. #scarathlon #batbrigade @Catsandbooks

(2) Dracula
Thanks for the tag @The_Penniless_Author and sorry for the delay 🙃
Four, five, six?? I‘ve lost count of how many times I‘ve read my favorite book. But this, hopefully, will be my first time to listen to it. I say hopefully because I started it last year but didn‘t finish it. I‘m already enjoying it immensely. #scarathlon @Catsandbooks
@AllDebooks this counts for #bannedbookweek too!
I have one copy left of this - it goes to teens often as it‘s banned out of most school libraries- and have a new shiny one on my wishlist I‘m trying not to buy myself 🙃 I‘m excited for the #Rereadtheclassics #buddyread #scarathon
Some how classic literature doesn‘t affect me in this genre 🤷🏻♀️🙃😅🖤 I love this and Frankenstein quite a bit.

Our October #Rereadtheclassics #buddyread is one of my all time favourites, Dracula. Perfect for #Scarathlon and will be reading the Audible version with multiple narrators for #Littenlisten
Listen to Dracula [Audible Edition] by Bram Stoker on Audible. https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0078PA9FQ?source_code=ASSOR150021921000R
It's been a very busy week and had very little time to read or eve post. But l made some progress on the #DraculaDaily on the train to work: the podcast is so handy!
Of course l know what will happen to Lucy, and yet I'm getting so very worried for her.
I like this group of people. They care about each other and look after each other. Their care transfers so easily to the reader. I'm totally invested in the story.

I'm caught up!
@NataliePatalie
Haha "my friends" ???♂️
I regularly struggle with and don't always enjoy classics, so I wasn't sure how I'd like Dracula Daily, or if I'd even be able to keep up. Now I'm disappointed that the story drops off for a few weeks! Hopefully I'll remember to check for more later ? If you missed starting Dracula Daily this year but really wish you had, now is a perfect time to register and catch up!
Dracula: Only sleep in your room. Everywhere else is unbelievably dangerous.
Harker: I think I‘ll sleep in the old wing I found where I suspect women used to live.
Also, It took me a sad amount of time to realize I didn‘t need to picture sad boobs here 😆👀
Alright, I'm doing it! My friend signed up for #DraculaDaily last year and really enjoyed the experience. I hope I can keep up! This seems like a more accessible pace for me to enjoy this classic. #ClassicLiterature
May 3- Nov 7 🧛🏻♂️
Read Dracula 🧛🏻♂️ in real time-
Coordinated with the dates in the book
#DraculaDaily
https://draculadaily.substack.com/about
There‘s also a podcast reading it
https://redracula.live/
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/re-dracula/id1679833472
I followed along with Dracula Dayly and it was a fun way to get trhough this book.
#adventrecommends
Okay, so I loved Dracula! Yes, I wish I had read it in the order Stoker wrote it before doing #DraculaDaily, but it was still really good. And I tried one of Jonathan Harker‘s yummy recipes (Paprika Chicken may be a new favorite for me too). Next weekend I‘ll be watching the movie. And then the parody movie. I couldn‘t help but hear Mel Brooks whenever Van Helsing spoke. I am definitely my father‘s daughter. 😂
Honestly, getting my emails from my friend Jonathan (then immediately going to Tumblr to check the memes) has been the highlight of my reading year. I ❤️ you Dracula Daily
Some potential spooky October reads
The OG #Vampire. And such a good book too!
#Scarathlon Daily Prompt Day 8 #TeamSlaughter
On my list for this month. Plus another pretty color page from my coloring App. #ScarathonDailyPrompt #TeamSlaughter 10-8 “Vampire”… bat. 😅
Read Dracula for the first time this year and, I'll be honest, it wasn't my favorite. Hoping it grows on me the second time though because it's been assigned for a class I start next week! 🧛
#victim #scarathlondailyprompts #teamslaughter
So glad I finally read this! Enjoyed it! 🧛🏻♂️
#bookspinbingo - this was my #bookspin for this month!
I did it. I finished Dracula, and let me just say it was amazing. I started it several times before and I don‘t know why it didn‘t stick, but I‘m obsessed with it now. I‘m so glad that I didn‘t give up on it. 🧛♂️🧛♂️🧛♂️
Full review: https://wildwoodreads.com/2022/10/06/dracula-review/
Very excited for this month‘s picks! I‘ve never read Dracula and it‘s on my fall bucket list, so it works out great that it‘s my #bookspin. And how cute is the cover for my #doublespin?
October #bookspin is filled with spooky seasonal reading for the #spookoween readathon. Still working on the last two months picks but I‘ll get there. Eventually.
I am soo excited for spooky season and all things fall!
#Scarathlon2022 #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick
Stocking my shelves with plenty of spooky things for Halloween. I‘m super excited with the books I ended up with in this spur of the moment spooky haul. Have you read any of these?
Full haul: https://wildwoodreads.com/2022/09/12/a-spooky-book-haul-2/
Dracula jigsaw completed a couple of days ago - it was a good one ?
I bought Terry Riley's album "A Rainbow in Curved Air" and, serendipitously, on logging it on my Library Thing catalogue, saw a recommendation for Philip Glass's 1999 soundtrack for the 1931 Bela Lugosi/Tod Browning film, performed by Kronos Quartet, and found myself back on t'internet ordering it!?
Here's my Halloween vibes! ?
"That's horrifying! Please Contine." Is almost exactly my thoughts while I was listening to The Sandman act I & Horrorstör.
I have a black cat and I love black cats, and all cats.
I am a veteran observer of the tumblr skeleton wars.
The picture of the oracle and tarot decks is actually my witchy shelf in my room.
Hopefully this helps
