I know everyone thinks Dracula should be a Halloween-season read, but I think it's perfect for a hot summer day. Possibly because I read it on the train commuting to work the first summer after I graduated from college.
Just wanted to say this is so helpful. I’m currently letting my manuscript sit so I forget and read with fresh eyes. I recently reworked the first 50 pages. Now I have something to grade it against. Everything you said here reaffirmed my decision for this big edit. Look forward to your next post!
I just finished “The Second Chance Supper Club” a fun story of two sisters. I uploaded and listened on Speechify, easy to read along or put your headphones on and go do the dishes and laundry.
I've been reading Dracula for a piece I'm writing about 'Salem's Lot. Also rereading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series for a light guilty pleasure.

Exactly! Also, Dracula IS a summer book because so much of it takes place in late Spring/early summer.
There's a Substack that delivers the book in bits and pieces on the correct dates: https://draculadaily.substack.com/
OOOOH!
