Dracula and Frank say hi. They want to know how you’re enjoying their stories.
Are you participating in the Dueling Monsters read-a-long? It’s not too late to join! Heather and I will be doing a wrap-up of everyone’s posts at the end of the month, so there’s still plenty of time to grab a monster er, book, and start reading.
Those who expressed interest in reading Dracula are listed here:
Jackie at Farm Lane Books—Dreamybee at Subliminal Intervention—Becky at Becky’s Book Reviews—Mee at Books of Mee—Amy at My Friend Amy—Melydia at Utter Randomonium (who has laready written up a post)—Brittanie at A Book Lover—Michelle at Fluttering Butterflies
And don’t worry, if it’s not happening, I won’t hunt you down and pin you with a stake until you read it. Dracula might, but I won’t.
If you are reading along, how’s it going? I finished Dracula last week and found it surprisingly readable. I’m about to start Frankenstein…I would’ve started earlier, but I’m pretty sure Dracula got a bit jealous and hid the book from me. I just found it stashed away in a drawer, of all places. And now I’m staring at the cover, which says “Enriched Classic.” Does that mean it’s got extra iron or something? Seriously, that’s the first time I’ve ever seen that phrase used on a book cover.
Heather at Age 30+…A Lifetime of Books is also posting an update today, so stop by her blog to say hi to Frank and see how everyone else is doing.
LOL I was snorting throughout this post!

Hopefully you weren’t drinking milk at the time.
Well I’ve found my copy and put a little icon on my sidebar, but I’m afraid that is as far as I have got. I hope to get into it this weekend.
I hope you find Frankenstein enriching!

Frank was less than enriching, unfortunately.
I am reading Dracula. I’ve read six or seven chapters so far. I am enjoying it so far. It’s really becoming a book that’s hard to put down. I know I have a *long* way to go. But I hope to finish it on time

Yay! I hope you continue to enjoy it!
I’m a bit late but I did get my recap post up today! So glad you enjoy ole Drac – I thought he was delightfully creepy. I’m still undecided on Frank …

Dracula 1. Frank 0.
eek! I still haven’t started my reading date with Frank. I will soon, I promise! Definitely during the read-a-thon, if not before. I better go over to his site to let him (and Heather) know

Poor Frank.
You are so funny!!!! And um, I haven’t started yet um…
.-= Amy @ My Friend Amy´s last blog ..Review: Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer =-.
I sent you a little encouragement.
I am totally impressed with Dracula so far. I think it has all the scary creepy elements that I was disappointed not to find in Frankenstein when I read it back in high school.

Exactly!
I’m reading Frankenstein. I would love to be able to read Dracula as well because I have been wanting to for some time, but I don’t think I can get to it this month. Can you believe October is half over? Where does the time go?
.-= Nicole´s last blog ..This Just In! The Barnes & Noble Edition (1) =-.
Maybe we’ll have to make this a yearly event! We can just keep adding monsters.
This sounds good. I havent read any of these… and now, because I have seen them and you say Dracula is readable now I want to read it as well. AND now I think I cant read blogs anymore because I keep adding to my TBR list and at the rate I am going I am am going to have to live to be 1,007 to get all the reading done that I want to and this is only if (ONLY IF) I do not see another book I covet again
LOL

LOL…blogs are very, very bad for the TBR pile.
Well, I’m a little late for the October 15th update, but here’s an entry I just wrote on my progress.
