DraculaDaily

November was a good reading month. I finished #DraculaDaily, which was a fantastic long read. It was one of 5 #1001books completed this month, along with starting Don Quixote. I also especially enjoyed Sovietistan.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Fantastic month!!! I did Dracula Daily last year, but just recently checked out the bound copy from the library - it has all the snarky email headings plus random internet comments in the margins. I'm not sure I need to own it, but it's been pretty fun to page through. 5d

Daisey @TheAromaofBooks I‘ve been interested in the print copy as well but feel the same about buying it. I‘ll have to check if my library has added it. 4d

TheAromaofBooks It's kind of expensive, but I have to say that it is really nice quality - an oversized hardcover with glossy pages and such. 4d

I'm behind with everything 😭

#NetGalley ARC expiring soon. Needs to finish this weekend!

#LotRChapterADay Stuck on chapter 3. Hoping to do some catch-up next week. I think l am caught up with all my fellow readers' comments, though.

#DraculaDaily Didn't touch since Lucy died.

tpixie Lucy‘s death was sad. I listened to the podcast instead of reading. That helped time-wise! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/re-dracula/id1679833472 3w

Dracula Daily: Reading Bram Stoker's Classic with Commentary by the Internet | Matthew Kirkland

I‘m glad I finally read Dracula. I loved reading this epistolary novel on the dates corresponding to the letters. I can‘t imagine reading it out of order! Maybe next October I‘ll try to read it as Bram Stoker wrote it.
Thanks for joining in on the fun!

Meshell1313 I agree!!! I‘m sad it‘s done! What an interesting way to read it! 🧛🏻 4w

Daisey It was a great read! Early on I thought I would want to listen to the original as I finished, but now I think I‘ll wait a bit. Like you said, maybe next October. 4w

tpixie @Meshell1313 yes! I am a little sad also!! 4w

dabbe It was a fun read and truly more realistic since we had to wait with the characters for the stupid snail mail and such. Club next year to read it the way Stoker wrote it? 🙋🏼‍♀️ 4w

tpixie @Daisey yes, I think next October will be a fun idea 💡 4w

tpixie @dabbe great idea! Yes! Let‘s do an October Buddy Read! 4w

TheBookHippie Oh I‘d read it again add me! 4w

Graciouswarriorprincess @tpixie I am in next year with you! 4w

dabbe Sounds like a plan! October 2024 it is! 🤩 4w

Daisey @tpixie Sounds like you better make a note to remind all of us next fall! 4w

tpixie @Daisey Done ✅ I put it in my notes & screenshot the tagged people, then added it to my calendar for Mid- Sept 7️⃣😅🧛🏻‍♀️😅 4w

This was my first time reading Dracula and I thoroughly enjoyed it. A few times it was a little difficult to keep track when there was a long break in between, but overall it was a fantastic way to experience the story. Waiting for the next entry often built up the suspense.

Dracula Daily: Reading Bram Stoker's Classic with Commentary by the Internet | Matthew Kirkland

Despite my difficulties keeping up with my reads, a couple of days ago l managed to read a few chapters from #DraculaDaily and come to poor Lucy's death

This story is truly taking me in. I knew what was going to happen, and still l read from the edge of my seat.

I really like Van Helsing. I wished he could have done more.

The_Book_Ninja I ended up reading the book. I‘m nearly finished! 1mo

dabbe @The_Book_Ninja I've read it a few times before, and I love the sequential timeframe of this version, but I might jump in and finish the good ol' fashioned way to get it in for #Scarathlon points and by Halloween (otherwise, I think it goes to 11/8). 🖤🎃🖤 1mo

The_Book_Ninja @dabbe 🧛🏼 1mo

JazzFeathers @dabbe @The_Book_Ninja So envious. I'm terribly behind 😭 1mo

JazzFeathers @tpixie l really didn't expect this story to be so emotional. 1mo

The_Book_Ninja @JazzFeathers I read in chunks. I wasn‘t as committed to the daily Dracula 1mo
