Cuilin I think this was my favorite chapter. it‘s so organized and they‘re all together. Great vibes. @mcctrish Really the book should be called Mina!!! 10h

Cuilin @BarkingMadRead that quote gives me “not all men vibes”. lol 10h

dabbe @Cuilin Or something like THE MARVELOUS MINA! (channeling THE GREAT GATSBY! 😂) 9h

mcctrish @dabbe @Cuilin I agree 8h

Bookwormjillk Lucy and Mina are the real main characters here! 8h

Ruthiella Mina is amazing in this book. 6h

mcctrish Dracula will be a bit harder to put down 1d

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. 1d

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish for sure, I feel like it will be way more dangerous! @Bookwormjillk I think so! 1d

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? 1d

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? 🤔 1d

Cuilin @dabbe yes I wondered why it‘s called Dracula. (edited) 1d

Cuilin That last part it‘s all a little one for all and all for one. 1d

Cuilin @dabbe Methinks he may go for Mina. Watch out, Jonathan. 1d

Bookwormjillk @dabbe good point! 1d

dabbe @Cuilin 😂 1d

dabbe @Cuilin If he does, she's got the army that Van Helsing is creating, right? However, look how well they did for Lucy. 🙄 1d

dabbe @Bookwormjillk 🤩 1d

rubyslippersreads @Clare-Dragonfly I think the victim has to die to become a vampire. 10h

Clare-Dragonfly @rubyslippersreads From what he said, all the kids Lucy bit would have become vampires eventually, when they died. 8h

CatLass007 @mcctrish 🍷🍷🍷😂😂😂 Let‘s not forget Dracula‘s famous quote “I never drink… wine.” 3d

mcctrish @CatLass007 all the more reason to 🍷🍷🍷🤣 3d

BarkingMadRead @CatLass007 @mcctrish 🍷🩸🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d

Larkken Poor Lucy. I always liked the follow ups that have her and Mina living happily-ish without all these “helpful” men and their bad parties. 2d

rubyslippersreads @CatLass007 @mcctrish Just because Dracula doesn‘t drink wine, doesn‘t mean we can‘t. 🤣🍷🦇 2d

CatLass007 @rubyslippersreads You said it!🍷Cheers. 2d

Clare-Dragonfly Dracula has his brides, Lucy has her husbands 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2d

Here are some of my favorite British standalone classic novels from the 1800s (except HOUND; that was written in 1902, so it's close!)
All are relatively short (except JANE EYRE), and all give a full flavor of life in Victorian/Edwardian England.

mcctrish I love Cranford #hashtagbrigade opened my eyes to it, I had no idea about it before that 3d

dabbe @mcctrish 🎯! Me, too! I loved RUTH as well, but CRANFORD just cracked me up! 😂 3d

dabbe @PuddleJumper 🧡🖤🧡 3d

AnishaInkspill the 2 I've still got to get around to is Cranford and Hound of the Baskervilles, i finally read Tennant of WH, such a surprising read 3d

Cuilin These are all fabulous. I loved Far from the Madding Crowd. 2d

dabbe @AInkspill I adored TENANT--much more than AGENES GRAY. CRANFORD is a stitch, and HOUND is my fave of all time: my GOAT. 🤩 2d

dabbe @Cuilin I did, too--and it had a happy ending, which is unusual for Hardy. I'm talking to you, TESS! 😂 2d

Bookwormjillk I don‘t like that Keanu is away for the night. Not one bit. 3d

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk #whatcouldgowrong 3d

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 😂 3d

dabbe @mcctrish He could be a #lostbroofthekaramazovs 😀 3d

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! 🖤 3d

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday 1. I am LOVING the doodle prompts for October, everyday I do a journal and a doodle prompt and I am liking how mindful they make me feel 2. I switched my clothes around and purged a bunch I was hanging onto just in case 3. It‘s oatmeal season ❤️❤️ 4. My October tracker is fun, but my reading game is slow 5. My October TBR is waiting patiently for me to get to it ( #hashtagbrigade is reading Dracula and I‘m loving it )

That was quite the chapter! 6d

Graciouswarriorprincess Those maids! And I agree about Mom getting the memo! 6d

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!! 6d

julieclair @Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead @rubyslippersreads I had the same thought! Uncle Google says blood types were discovered in 1901. Dracula was written in 1897. 6d
