#DraculaDaily

I missed the entire month of October and last entries for November of #DraculaDaily due to ending one job and starting another one. I‘ll be getting caught up to finish Dracula tonight. This was quite an experience to see those hilariously titled emails. I might repeat it next year or sit back and observe other people‘s readalong. 10/10 recommend pairing the book with Re: Dracula audio adaptation https://redracula.live/

The story of a rising evil, and the group of friends who through love, communication, working together, and a whole lot of research bring down something more powerful and cruel than themselves.

This ended up being unexpectedly and upsettingly timely. There will be heartbreaks there will be setbacks, but we will survive. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 #DraculaDaily

seibelsays It's funny how these things find us when we need them, isn't it? ❤️ 3w

Finished #DraculaDaily both by reading the emails and listening to the podcast Re: Dracula (which was great!). I have read this book a few times, its a #OldFav :) I am pretty sure I will do this again next year :)

MemoirsForMe I really enjoyed Dracula Daily too. But I didn‘t know there was also a podcast. 🤔 3w
ElizaMarie @MemoirsForMe oooo yes! I know it‘s over but I would still check it out. They have a little bit of a theatrical telling of it. It‘s pretty engaging for an already engaging story 3w

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! 🧛🏻 1mo
PuddleJumper I've been receiving the Dracula Daily emails for 3 years and I've still not finished it 🤣 1mo

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. 1mo

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. 🖤 1mo

Happy vampire info dump day! 🤣

Also, this entry always makes me wonder how the story would be different if everybody just listened to Mina. #DraculaDaily

#DraculaDaily

Seriously, I'm so impressed by the clever structure of this story!
I loved how we are given all the details through the characters' personal writing and how all these documents come into Prof. Van Helsing's hands. And whe they do, the story start to build... I want to say in a new direction, though of course, it is not so.

Everything is do coherent and cohesive. And gripping!
I'm hook. I care deeply fir all the characters.

Ok #hashtagbrigade it‘s time to start thinking about October! If you would like to be tagged in next month‘s book, drop a comment below! Everyone is welcome, just remember, my hashtags are often ridiculous and always chapter spoilers, so don‘t read my post until you‘ve read the chapter. We will read a chapter a day in October. My version has 27 chapters so we will finish before Halloween!

So, before we start our new reads with the #FellowshipOfTolkien l want to try and finish at least the Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings. With both books, I'm not so far from the end, so...

And soon, the #DraculaDaily will pick up again where l left off last year, and I'd like to finish that too.

It's disgracefully hot here in Italy. Let's see what l manage.
