Welcome to Litsy!

Husband bought me this Swedish version of Dracula 3 years ago and I‘m going to try to tackle it again. It‘s a chunkster I was trying to read for Halloween but didn‘t make it. I‘m starting it earlier this year. The existence of this rare and unique book is a historical literary mystery. Read about this book to find out more. #hauntedshelf #blackcatcrew @BookwormAHN @PuddleJumper

I got 33/45 😆
There are way too many good ones on this list to narrow it down to 3 picks. Dracula, The Craft, The Goonies, Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, Edward Scissorhands, Harry Potter, Hocus Pocus, the list goes on and on.....
This was so fun though and makes me want to rewatxh all of them 🍂🎃

This did not survive the re-read. I'm going to read it on stream because my chat voted for it and it's a classic, but wow, Bram sure had ISSUES. He's obviously tormented by his own desires (especially since the man he loved was a jerk), and the anti-Roma racism is distressing, along with the constant re-affirmation of Victorian mores and gender norms. Harker's journal at the beginning is the best part. Skip the rest. Carmilla was so much better.

Although the plot drags a bit and I have a distaste for epistolary fiction, the complex characters, varied settings, and political and historical commentary make this an interesting take on a Dracula story. I'm glad I had the audiobook to read alongside it, though, as I don't have the concentration I once had for such an epic story.

I love this book but I always forget how much these men T A L K.

My good sirs, you are dramatic. Up front info would help a lot.

A new favourite!

I don't know why it took me this long to read the book that mostly started it all. I've always enjoyed Vampire Lore and read plenty of other Vampire stories, so I'm baffled with myself for not reading this.

An excellent story, in a distinctive writing style that kept me up way to late.

Now I need to read more of the original Vampire Lore

Reminder: The first #litsyblooddrive is taking place on August 9. Schedule your donations on or around that date, or see the previous post for more ways to get involved.

Who needs blood?
1. Cancer: Patients use more than 1/4 of the US blood supply
2. Maternity: 1 in 83 deliveries require transfusions
3. Pediatrics and neonatal
4. Sickle Cell Disease
5. Trauma: 80% of ER deaths and 50% of deaths from injuries are due to severe blood loss.

I thought it would be an interesting read but no. It was hard to keep up with all of the journal entries. It wasn‘t what I expected it to be. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love this @TieDyeDude !! I actually just signed up for a blood drive at my work happening on July 16. So I‘ll be participating early. I am using this donation to determine if I can be a candidate to donate platelets in the future. This time of year is when shortages tend to happen. Please donate if you can! #LitsyBloodDrive
