Repost from @rubyslippersreads Come join us!
Any Littens with fond memories of Dark Shadows? We are starting a #buddyread of the tagged book, and we‘d be thrilled to have you join us for our journey back to Collinwood.

We‘re starting today with the Foreword by DS actress Kathryn Leigh Scott and Introduction by the author. A chapter a day after that, but please feel free to jump in at any time. 🦇

tpixie @rubyslippersreads thx! 9mo

CatLass007 @rubyslippersreads Thank you. @tpixie I can‘t read ebooks because of eye strain. 9mo

tpixie @CatLass007 🩷 I hope you can find the audio or book 📕 (edited) 9mo

CatLass007 @tpixie It‘s not available in audio and my book funds for the month are exhausted. I can‘t decide which is more precious the money I have to spend on books or the time to read all the books I already have. 9mo

MemoirsForMe Yay! Love meeting fellow Dark Shadows fans! @tpixie @CatLass007 Oh, I‘m tempted now to rewatch the show too. 9mo

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 Even if you can‘t read the book, I think you should join us anyway. It‘s always fun to talk about DS. 😊 9mo

tpixie @CatLass007 Luckily, there certainly are plenty of other books to read also!!! I‘m working on going through my bookshelves to save money. Good luck finding your next read!! (edited) 9mo

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 Even if you can‘t read the book, I think you should join us anyway. It‘s always fun to talk about DS. 😊 9mo

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 This looks possibly helpful: How to Turn Any Ebook Into an Audiobook https://youtu.be/OQLunr8-gCU?si=_HzhTI9rllw37dNx 9mo

MemoirsForMe @CatLass007 I‘m also trying to read all the TBRs gathering dust on my many bookshelves. I hope you‘ll still join in and share your DS stories. Us DS fans have a special bond. 9mo

MemoirsForMe @tpixie Hope you can join us! I have quite a few DS books on my shelves. This may be the start of several DS #buddyreads 😊🦇 9mo

tpixie @rubyslippersreads that was an interesting video! Thanks for sharing! 9mo

tpixie @UwannaPublishme I did download the e-book. I‘m going to try to fit it in. It sounds like fun. 9mo

rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme mentioned other DS books. If anyone has Hoopla, quite a few of the Marilyn Ross novels are available as audiobooks, read by Kathryn Leigh Scott. 9mo

rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme @tpixie @CatLass007 I‘m running a bit behind. I‘ll try to catch up tomorrow. 😊 9mo

MemoirsForMe @rubyslippersreads No worries! I‘m a little behind too. 9mo

MaGoose I know you posted this months ago, but I just came across it. I was a big fan of Dark Shadows back in the day. 1w

MemoirsForMe @MaGoose Yay! So nice to meet a fellow Dark Shadows fan! Did you run home to watch it after school? I even attended several DS conventions way back when. Do you read any DS novels? The ones by Lara Parker (Angelique) are great. 1w

MaGoose @MemoirsForMe Yes, I did zip home to watch. I didn't realize that there were books. I'll have to research them and see if I can come up with some that are still around. 1w

MemoirsForMe @MaGoose Parker wrote 4 fictional novels based on the show. Kathryn Leigh Scott (Maggie Smith/Josette) wrote several nonfiction books on DS and also narrated the old DS novels by Marilyn Ross. If you find more good ones, let me know! 🧛🏻‍♂️ 1w

MemoirsForMe Yay! I‘m ready! 9mo

rubyslippersreads @UwannaPublishme 👍🏻🦇 9mo

MemoirsForMe Perfect to have Kathryn Leigh Scott write the foreword! It‘s stirring up so many memories already! My cousin was one of the many fans who hung out outside the NY studio. She‘d call us and report the scoop. I was so jealous when she met Chris Jennings (the first werewolf). I thought he was so cute. I also love how Dan Curtis consulted the fans about a story arc. We did get so immersed in the details, didn‘t we? 9mo

CatLass007 @UwannaPublishme I don‘t remember Chris Jennings. Hmm. I guess that sexy Quentin Collins played by David Selby erased him from my memory.🐺 9mo

MemoirsForMe @CatLass007 You‘ll have to Google the actor who played Chris (Don Briscoe) and see what you think. But I agree, Quentin is a hottie too. ☺️ 9mo

CatLass007 @UwannaPublishme I was looking at the IMDb pages for Dark Shadows and several of the actors. I discovered that David Selby is from my home state of West Virginia. And there was a story going around town that Jonathan Frid had moved to my hometown and opened an antique store. I have no idea if it was true. For some reason Mom didn‘t want to drive around town looking for him. 😁 9mo

CatLass007 @UwannaPublishme Okay, I just googled Jonathan Frid and there‘s no mention of his ownership of an antique store in West Virginia or anywhere else. Urban legend. 9mo

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 @UwannaPublishme Quentin was very handsome, but I‘m always true to Barnabas. 😄 9mo

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 @UwannaPublishme I never heard the antique store rumor. I‘m sure it would have been visited by fans if it were true. 9mo

MemoirsForMe @CatLass007 I‘ve read several DS books and attended quite a few DS conventions. Can‘t recall any mention of JS owning an antique store. I‘m sure it would have been mobbed as @rubyslippersreads said. 😊 9mo
