Dracula | Bram Stoker

I‘m excited for the #DraculaDaily coming up! Question? Is there a group (hashtag or discussion or something)? Just curious 👀. 🧛🏻‍♀️. https://draculadaily.substack.com

BookmarkTavern Oh that would be fun! I fully support a hashtag for us! 🖤 2h

ElizaMarie @BookmarkTavern I‘m not great at coming up with discussions (on days I work I do little else) but… I think it‘d be fun. Maybe we can tag each other with thoughts? 1h

The Book Eaters | Sunyi Dean

pick

Such a strange premise, but very readable. The plot moves quickly, using alternating chapters with flashbacks to get the backstory. Lots of disturbing images and plot points as the mc wrestles with morality vs keeping her son alive.

JenniferEgnor I haven‘t heard of this. What is it? 2h

BookmarkTavern @JenniferEgnor A few years ago, someone decided to start sending out a daily newsletter with the letters and documents for that day from the novel Dracula! It‘s put entirely in chronological order, and it is a blast. 2h

This was a quick read with lots of spice! I like the world building and the seven brothers. I‘m thrilled they will each get a standalone book and can‘t wait for Prince Gluttony‘s story. I felt like Wrath‘s story should‘ve been adult and not YA, so I‘m glad these are adult books.

Nos4a2 = Nos4a2 | Joe Hill

Does anyone else have (a lot) of thought on this “5 star or don‘t even review it” discourse. Usually I was seeing it from indie authors, or self published or a debut novel…. But from the son of Stephen King? A man with a Netflix adaptation & multiple best sellers. Joe… get real. I beg you.
How many times have I stacked a “so-so”? How many times have I read a book my friend DNF‘d? A lot, actually.

Laughterhp I rarely rate a book 5 stars. That means I absolutely loved it and want to read it again right away. I think having some ratings over no ratings is way better. 19h

Laughterhp Also what‘s with all the authors lately trying to control how we rate books… 19h

Bookwormjillk Yeah, I hear you. Most books I read are 3 stars. Granted Joe Hill probably isn‘t talking about my LibraryThing or Litsy rating. But doesn‘t rating everything 5 stars defeat the purpose of ratings? 19h

5feet.of.fury @Laughterhp that was my reply on threads, no ratings, or 1-2 ratings, we have to check how many ratings a 5 star really has? - if I give a book 5 stars, I will be thinking about the ending forever, the twist will haunt my dreams, the characters are my best friends. What could I POSSIBLY give those books, if every book I like is 5 star? 19h

5feet.of.fury @Bookwormjillk it seems to stem from goodreads specifically (which I have never looked at, but I know my kindle book ratings go there) 19h

BookmarkTavern Welp, his books just moved way down my TBR list. 16h

5feet.of.fury @BookmarkTavern 😂 15h

Ruthiella Sorry Joe! 🥲 15h

Larkken Sheesh. A bit precious. Didn't his dad tell him not to read the reviews if he was gonna take them too hard? 11h

batsy Ugh the Goodreads ratings industrial complex! 5h

Sharing the first chapter line, not the prologue:

Miss Camilla Antonius had very little patience for fools, even handsome ones.

Scarlet | Genevieve Cogman

I somehow missed this when it was released. I‘m a big fan of cogman‘s invisible library series. Anyway it‘s 99p on kindle at the minute!

julesG The sequel is due soon. 😉 2d

A Discovery of Witches: A Novel | Deborah Harkness

I‘m going to leave this one for a while. It‘s a really dense book and I don‘t have the bandwidth right now to retain all the information. I‘ll come back to it later.
