I‘m rereading this old favorite via audio. It‘s such a good narration. I‘m hoping to finish my reread and then read Dracula by Brad Stoker for the first time - like a buddy read.
for me its the historian with 740 pages…but i loved the writing and the research that went into the writing was amazing so it didnt feel like it was a long read and it only took me 1 month to finish :) @BookmarkTavern #sundayfunday
pickAh, this book was a delightfully creepy trip and a half. Following along with #Dracula‘s Lucy and #JaneEyre‘s Bertha, this book explores the real cost of immortality, and the lies and machinations of the men that trapped the two in eternal life. I‘m not much of a horror fan at all, but this book was gruesome at times and had a serious gothic feel, it felt more melancholy to me than anything else. Fast-paced, very well-drawn, and fascinating.
Stumbled onto this gorgeous bookstore in Bucharest‘s Old Town today. It‘s located in a former nobility palace. What did I buy? After a tour of Transylvania, it had to be a copy of “Dracula” — of course!
so-so37/100 This series of "Further Adventures" of Sherlock Holmes are very hit or miss. I deem this one a definite miss.

so-soDid we need another book about Dracula that feels not too different from the original? I‘m not sure I did. It felt overly long, and dragged in parts for me. I did like that many of the characters were scholars and that a good deal of the story is them researching, delving into old tomes in search of historic scraps about Vlad that others may have missed.
Overall though, I can‘t say I gained much from reading this.
