Bookwormjillk I‘m sure it will all be fine 2d

AllDebooks At least we're picking up pace now. Although I have concerns about Emily's 'free-flowing tears'. Maybe Venice should be on high alert with flood warnings. 🤔 2d
mcctrish The hashtag #nocrying does not apply, as @AllDebooks says ⬆️ the tears were free-flowing #floodwarningsareineffect at two different parts the way things were being described - coming across the army and the revellers outside the window I honest to god thought Valencourt was going to be part of the group 🤣🤣 that would make this a gothic whatever it is 2d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I 💯 thought so too! Ugh I really thought there was no crying, this is what happens when I start the chapter early and finish it in the evening 🤣 2d
mcctrish @BarkingMadRead Emily really needs to hydrate 2d
Clare-Dragonfly In case you wondered whether Montoni married Aunt Scumbag for her money, he apparently doesn‘t even like her! 2d
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly If she wasn't such a #scmb, I'd almost feel sorry for her, waiting up for her hubby to come home as he ditches her on their first night at his estate. 😂 2d

Bookwormjillk I'll admit I had to do audio for this chapter. 5d

mcctrish This chapter actually worked for me. Auntie makes my head spin with her saying one thing and then taking a 180° 5d
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish auntie has things finally getting interesting! 5d
AllDebooks Finally, something more yhan weeping and walks, walks and weeping! 5d
Ruthiella @AllDebooks Just wait until she starts spontaneously writing sonnets. (edited) 5d
CatLass007 Would you please remove me from your tag list for #HashtagBrigade? Everyone is great but I want to cut back on some of my buddy reads. Thanks 😚 5d
Clare-Dragonfly I had a hard time following all the dialogue in this but I got the gist. Specifically that Auntie is a social-climbing moron. 5d
dabbe @Clare-Dragonfly Can I add “bitch“ to your most excellent comment? As in #socialclimbingmoronbitch ... #scmb for short (which could also read as “scumbag“). 😄 5d
BarkingMadRead @dabbe 🤣🤣🤣🤣 5d
Bklover First of all, why does Valencourt keep showing up like a creeper? He always appears from behind a tree or something. Second, Auntie is a scheming witch but at least she‘s interesting- I think she‘s going to be a fun one to hate! 5d
julieclair @Bklover I freely admit I am hating Auntie and enjoying it! As @dabbe says, #scmb . 😂 5d
dabbe @julieclair YES! #scmb You know, it's better just thinking it as “scum“! 🤩😂🤗 5d
Clare-Dragonfly @dabbe Bahahaha, perfect! 😂 5d
ElizaMarie @bklover! Yes!!! Such a #SneakySneak didn‘t we learn he has good breeding? Why are you such a #WeirdoCreeper !? 4d
ElizaMarie Also. I am numb to tears and weeping…. 4d

mcctrish Did Mina not just say “no matter what I do or say don‘t tell me shit!” and then wake up out of a dead sleep “yo peeps, I gotta go with” and so she goes 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ WT actual F 3w

Bookwormjillk Did JK Rowling steal this chapter for that one book where Dumbledore doesn‘t tell Harry anything because Voldemort can read his mind? Also I just found a dead fly on my office floor. Definitely want to just read the rest RIGHT NOW. 3w
CatLass007 @Bookwormjillk JK Rowling plagiarized Neil Gaiman‘s Books of Magic, it wouldn‘t be surprising for her to plagiarize Bram Stoker. 3w
Bookwormjillk @CatLass007 we are on to you JK! 😂 3w

Bookwormjillk So the kids will be okay now that Lucy is dead again? Go Vampire hunters! This is making me want to read Salem‘s Lot again. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for sure, I feel like it will be way more dangerous! @Bookwormjillk I think so! 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly I don‘t think Van H‘s theory that everyone ever bitten by a vampire will also become a vampire makes any sense. Wouldn‘t the world be overridden with vampires by now? 1mo
dabbe It's interesting to note that Dracula really hasn't been in the last 10 or so chapters. He's been flitting at the window as a bat/wolf and was seen as himself by Harker, who recognized him, but that's it. He took center stage at the beginning and looks like he will at the end. And now without his newest bride, wonder who he'll go after next? 🤔 1mo
Cuilin @dabbe yes I wondered why it‘s called Dracula. (edited) 1mo
Cuilin That last part it‘s all a little one for all and all for one. 1mo
Cuilin @dabbe Methinks he may go for Mina. Watch out, Jonathan. 1mo
Bookwormjillk @dabbe good point! 1mo
dabbe @Cuilin 😂 1mo
dabbe @Cuilin If he does, she's got the army that Van Helsing is creating, right? However, look how well they did for Lucy. 🙄 1mo
rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly I think the victim has to die to become a vampire. 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly @rubyslippersreads From what he said, all the kids Lucy bit would have become vampires eventually, when they died. 1mo

mcctrish Van Helsing is extremely long winded 🤣🤣#peoplearedyingspeeditupman #maybehesrussian (edited) 1mo
Bookwormjillk I don‘t like that Keanu is away for the night. Not one bit. 1mo
Clare-Dragonfly I think Van Helsing was sure Seward wouldn‘t believe him if he hadn‘t seen so much evidence with his own eyes before Van H made the declaration. But he still could have been faster about it 😂 1mo
dabbe @mcctrish He could be a #lostbroofthekaramazovs 😀 1mo
dabbe So, yay for Mina and her shorthand and transcribing, but all Van Helsing can say is that she'll be a benefit to her husband. 🙄 And even she is like “I'm learning all these cool things to help my hubby in his business“--not even once thinking that she could do it just for the sake of learning. And 5 men who have blood inside of Lucy! Would Victorians consider that marriage with all of them? Whew! This book! 🖤 1mo

Bookwormjillk @mcctrish 😂 😂 😂

That was quite the chapter!
1mo
Graciouswarriorprincess Those maids! And I agree about Mom getting the memo! 1mo
dabbe Every time Van Helsing leaves or Seward has to go home to his practice or Holmwood has to run home again to care for daddy, we all know what's going to happen to Lucy. It's like knowing the TITANIC is going to sink. We know what's going to happen, but we keep reading anyway, hoping against hope that she'll be okay. So frustrating, especially when Van Helsing knows what's going on. ARGHH!! 1mo

Cuilin There‘s no building tension here, it starts full on. It‘s gonna get worse, isn‘t it? 😬 2mo
BarkingMadRead @Cuilin yeahhhhh I‘m pretty sure it will 🤣☠️ 2mo
mcctrish @BookwormAHN I was wondering that too 2mo
mcctrish When the innkeeper said wait a day or too because all hell could break loose Keanu should have listened 2mo
Bookwormjillk First time read for me- liking it so far. He did seem a little more concerned about the paprika than the wolves though. But also the mail came at the same time as I read about the wolves and I jumped about a mile. Good sign. 2mo
dabbe Total random question, but are we sharing our book covers? And look at how young Keanu is! 🤩 2mo
BarkingMadRead @dabbe we must always share our book covers #itsrequired 2mo
dabbe @BarkingMadRead I thought so! I haven\'t seen many, so I was wondering. I\'ll be sharing mine soon. 🖤🦇🖤 2mo
currentlyreadinginCO Also a first time reader and it seems off to a creepy start! I'm intrigued and kinda scared. 2mo
julieclair Maybe he should have listened to the locals… 2mo
Clare-Dragonfly I love how often he thinks of Mina 🥰 2mo
TheAromaofBooks Jonathan needs a recipe box apparently 😂 I read this two years ago with Dracula Daily and really enjoyed it. However, I didn\'t realize until after I was already in the midst of it that that meant I was reading the story in chronological order, not necessarily the order in which it is actually written. Plus, it\'s spread out over several months. All that to say I\'m intrigued to read it \“for real\“ this time!! 2mo

willaful I was expecting something horrible. I guess Sydney was too.

Kerr continues to be the effing worst. She deliberately tantalized Sydney and then tried to lure her back. Sydney went to a dark place but I\'m glad she has learned better now. Only two chapters left, perhaps she\'s safe? 😬
2mo
mcctrish Kerr is the worst @willaful and if the worst thing that happens is Sydney sees the light of her rushed marriage almost colliding with a logging truck #couldbeworse 2mo
willaful @mcctrish Yes, I think it was the right decision. But I hate the thought of Kerr feeling like she won. 🤬 2mo
peanutnine Calling it off was the right decision but I do feel bad for Milton. He seems like collateral damage in the whole affair 2mo
julieclair Sydney is a hot mess. Calling off the engagement is definitely the right idea. @peanutnine I agree about Milton… I feel very sorry for him. 2mo

willaful Kerr did real damage. Will Milton back out? Should he?

I found this a very menacing chapter, somehow. I kept expecting something dramatically horrible to happen. Instead it\'s low key horrible.
2mo
BarkingMadRead @willaful I for sure kept waiting for one of them to bail, I was shocked that they didn‘t! 2mo
