I read along with the Dracula Daily crew this time around and had an absolute blast reading it this way.
From the characters to the plot and overall story it's just a fantastic book on all fronts (as well as an excellent Gothic novel).
Definitely a book I'll revisit many times again.

Although lengthy at times (and with a dose of misogyny as per that time's views) the writing was really good! It was reflexive and omg so dramatic at times it was honestly funny. The suspense was masterfully built and the fact the novel was made of journal entries was so interesting (also they were so complete, who ever wrote suh detailed accounts in their diary?) and it was quite amusing to follow the story as it unfolds through the eyes of some of the characters (and that was effortless to follow, which impresses me a good deal).
In short I'm really glad to have finally read this classic and will likely read it again following the same schedule.

- ART promising the hot goss!!
- Jonathan that is a terrible plan, but also it is one that I cannot believe you didn't try sooner???
- Everything about this was disturbing. No thanks.
- We stan Mina, the only one with any kind of sense in this book.
- Literally the only thing preventing Lucy and Mina from being a couple is that Bram Stoker lived in an era of homophobia. And also cowardice.
- Oh I know what this is reminding me of. Rabies.
- GIRL THAT IS NOT A DREAM
- Wow okay no more Mr. Nice Vampire
- This book is about the power of friendship and a really good nap
- I am once again asking why women who become vampires remain young and beautiful, but Dracula, a man, became old and decrepit.
- All the talk of snow is making me think: They survived Dracula, but can they survive. . . Mother Nature? And then this becomes a survival story lol
