    Frankenstein is on my TBR for this October too. I plan on reading in tandem with the audiobook. That's what I did with Dracula two years ago and I highly recommend it. The older English can cause the reader to slow down. It just doesn't read as quickly for us since it's a bit older. The audiobook just keeps the pace going and a consistent flow.

    After you read "The Italian," you may want to read "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen. She pokes fun at the conventions of Gothic lit. It's really fun. And if you want an academic but very readable book about Gotic literature, pick up "The Madwoman in the Attic: The Woman Writer and the Nineteenth-Century Literary Imagination: " by Sandra Gilbert.

    "Everyone in my family has killed someone" is sooo fun, it's my favourite book of the year so far, it has thrilling reveals but nothing scary or spooky, the way it's told makes it cozy, fun and funny, I hope you love it too! I can't wait to read the second book in the series once it comes out (the mysteries won't be connected) since it's on a train and I love that setting

    So happy that you’re finally getting round to Frankenstein! If you need help staying motivated, check out the audiobook, it’s narrated by Dan Steven and it’s excellent 👌

    I love The Alchemist's Daughter! If you can get it, I recommend the audiobook: the narrator is amazing at doing all the ladies's voices, and it's even more fun when they interrupt the story.
    Also, your ghosty pop socket is so cute!

    Love your classic book choices. I have read all 3 - Frankenstein, Dracula and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. They are all very well done and I hope you like them. If you wind up enjoying Jekyll and Hyde, I recommend picking up Mary Reilly, which tells the story of Dr. Jekyll from the point of view of his maid, Mary Reilly, who has some interesting issues of her own. 😊

That’s one I recommend it’s very hard to explain but something I try and get everyone to read.

    Have you ever read Jane Austen’s “Northanger Abbey”? I think you’d love it if you haven’t, the main character and her friend love gothic literature (particularly Ann Radcliffe’s work), and it’s basically a parody and Austen’s commentary on gothic literature, it’s great haha

We are teachers, and we are grateful to take a moment and do something we enjoy together. We are currently reading the Agatha Christie, Hallowe'en Party. It is so much fun!! Every lunch, we are guessing and coming up with theories about who committed the crime. We are already trying to pick our next read.

I was sitting in my living room reading, it was a Sunday before getting ready to go to church. I finished that part and looked at my husband with teary eyes. 😅
