Welcome to Litsy!

Did 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.

My Barnes & Noble mini haul. I've been wanting to read Dracula and picked up this edition because of the cool cover.

One of my favorites! On my second copy

The first read od 2025 was very satisfying. Although the theme was not appealing to me at all, I enjoyed the dynamic plot and greatness of Van Helsing.

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 ⬇
