This month's #HashtagBrigade pick was kind of a reread for me. I read it last year with #DraculaDaily which, while super fun, is also not exactly the best way to read this book for the first time. So I liked reading it in order and in one month instead of six 😂 Now I might do Dracula Daily again next year lol Anyway, while there are places where the action bogs down a little, and the ending feels a little rushed, this book still has some ⬇

BarkingMadRead I‘m glad you liked the format! Dracula daily sounds intriguing but I wonder of i would last long that way! 🧛🏻 4w
PuddleJumper I've been receiving the Dracula Daily emails for 3 years and I've still not finished it 🤣 4w

TheAromaofBooks @BarkingMadRead @PuddleJumper - I love the concept of Dracula Daily, but when you get into October sooooooo much happens on certain days that it really gets bogged down. Combined with the fact that you go WEEKS in the summer without anything happening, so I would kind of forget what was happening 😂 I think I may try it next year now that I know how the story goes and who all the characters are. 4w

inthegreensandblues I agree; last year I went to the book launch for Dracula Daily but ultimately decided to read it the old fashioned way for my first read. Some of the out of order entries work best the way Stoker wrote them. This year, I've re-read through DD (still going!) and it's fun to revisit this way. 🖤 4w

October was an incredibly busy month but so happy to complete my final read of the month. I loved the first half of the book, so sinister and creepy but the last half dragged on… I finished early ahead of Dracula Daily. Couldn‘t resist.

TheSpineView Excellent! 4w
Catsandbooks Awesome job! 👏🏼 🧡 3w

I reread this classic every two years. If ever the idea that things can change over time is true, this is one of those times. For some reason, I was more annoyed than ever at the men in this book and how they fawned not just over Lucy but even the one I think is really the heroine of this book, Mina. Without her, the men would never have been able to do squat. Maybe I'm angry because gender inequality is STILL such an issue in this country. #vote

dabbe Thank you, #hashtagbrigade and @BarkingMadRead for seeing me through. 🖤🩸🩸🖤 4w
BarkingMadRead Mina is most definitely the hero of this story! 4w

@Texreader Thank you so much for this awesome #HauntedHollowSwap! The books are perfect and the goodies are awesome! Is that one of those paper towel alternatives? I can't wait to dig into all of these!

Thank you for hosting, @wanderinglynn ! #HHS

wanderinglynn Awesome! 🧡🎃🖤👻 4w
Texreader Yes, a Swedish towel you wash and reuse. Isn‘t that cool? I‘m going to try one for the first time as well. I‘m glad you liked everything. I had such fun picking your books. I hope you like The Historian, one of my top two favorite books (along with Dracula). 4w

CatLass007 Mina was pretty badass in the book. I don‘t remember that she was this badass in the movie. 1mo
TheAromaofBooks I really enjoyed reading this, but the ending felt a little abrupt after all that chasing!! 1mo
Cuilin This was a fun read thanks to all #hashtagbrigade On another note Quincey Harker is a great name. (edited) 1mo
rubyslippersreads It‘s hard for me to imagine Drac having (or deserving) a moment of peace. 1mo
rubyslippersreads I just looked at the description of the Keanu movie, and I think they borrowed that whole “vampire in search of his lost love” thing from Dark Shadows. Drac didn‘t seem particularly romantic in the novel, just out for blood. 1mo

Loved this book. I‘m so glad my vampire aversion didn‘t keep me away. I should have known the #hashtagbrigade wouldn‘t lead me astray (except for when they do but we still have fun #thebros)

Thanks @BarkingMadRead
