DAY 29: Book You’re Currently Reading

I’ve said before that I’ve been getting into “the classics”, and this voyage continues: I am currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker.

I was rather keen to read this. After all, you can’t walk into a bookstore these days without seeing an entirely separate stand dedicated to “supernatural” novels, particularly those about vampires, following Twilight’s lead. But this book, Dracula, is where it all began, so I opened it up and began to read.

Imagine my amazement when I found that Dracula doesn’t sparkle. Can you believe that?!

I’m about three quarters of the way through, and so far, I can quite happily say that Dracula was well-worth the read. Thank you, Vintage Classics!

DAY 19: Book That Turned You On

“Book That Turned You On” is a rather unusual challenge. I could be metaphorical and answer with the book that “turned on” my love of reading. I could tell you the book that “turned on” my passion for writing. Or, I could just say, “Hell with it”, and tell you the book that, quite literally, “turned me on!”.

…Hell with it.

My answer is Dark Prince and the rest of the “Dark” series by Christine Feehan.

What is the best way to describe these books in a nutshell? Hmm… It’s pretty much literary porn. But with vampires. And God, do I love reading them…

Does that make me a bad person? … Why are you awkwardly backing away, reader?

DAY 18: Book You’re Most Embarrassed To Say You Like

The book I’ve chosen for today’s challenge is one that I read before it became popular. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed its sequel. I enjoyed its subsequent sequel. But I LOATHED the final book in its saga. My love for the first books was also somewhat tarnished by the production of films with so-so actors, which somehow resulted in the creation of annoying fan-girls who took on the even more annoying title of “Twi-hards”.

That’s right: the Book I’m Most Embarrased To Say I Like is: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to flee from the unquenchable rage of Stef from Dodging Commas.
