I just listed this book as one of my favorite long books and now, seeing your challenge and post I'm feeling I need to read it again. I remember loving everything about it! Yes Catherine! I have read it several times before and it is one of the only books I enjoy rereading.
Jump into our readalong if it fits your schedule. Very casual and fun. Don't you just love when that happens, Meg?! I'm trying to not read ahead so I don't mess up my daily updates but I really want to! I am loving the book so far and contrary to popular opinion, I really enjoy the slow burn way she is telling the story.
Yes there is a lot of description and historical tidbits for me, a positive but it really leaves me hungry for more. I'm having no issues keeping up with the pace of the assigned reading because I am always eager to get to the next little nugget of action. I think it's very well written! Sarah I am so glad you are enjoying it.
I just love every detail about the streets or scenery or any aspect of academic life. I loved college and love books with academic settings. Meg, I feel like it's a strange sort of cozy suspense novel. Not outright scary but still creepy. I'm trying to stick to the daily reading schedule but I want to read ahead, too! Many years ago, I received an Audible gift from a friend and she recommended this book. I listened to it and enjoyed it.
I am reading it this time around and I appreciate the writing so much more! When she described the portrait of Dracula it was so vivid and clear to me. I have really enjoyed the reading of the last two days! Cindy, I love all the details but can see why someone who doesn't wouldn't like the book. I'm so happy that you are enjoying it and thank you for commenting! Oh my gosh, I loved the description of the Dracula oil painting.
