After reading the Twilight series and watching True Blood I am a fan...haha!<br />You are right, we have to try genres from time to time, even if we think we do not like them. It is always nice to be surprised.Lisbeth https://www.blogger.com/profile/00466904375353041610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-46433266903849778662020-07-25T13:47:02.680+02:002020-07-25T13:47:02.680+02:00"Dracula" is still on my wishlist but af..."Dracula" is still on my wishlist but after having read and loved "Frankenstein", I think I ought to give it a go soon. I never watched any of those films, same as the books, horror is not my thing. Or fantasy. Or science fiction. LOL. However, sometimes you find a story that you love despite it being from those genres you don't really like that much. That's why I keep trying different kinds of literature. I might sometimes not enjoy it but often I find a real gem.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-24027475697910393772020-07-24T18:07:08.651+02:002020-07-24T18:07:08.651+02:00Like you I felt this is not my usual genre.

I think the original story has been destroyed by various filmversions. It is a little bit the same with Dracula. Just loved Bram Stokers original story.

If you like authors of that time (Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, the Brontës), you will like this novel.Marianne https://www.blogger.com/profile/11810275740213848634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-84360123625054403512020-07-04T22:45:08.627+02:002020-07-04T22:45:08.627+02:00I have always hesitated reading it, because of the...I have always hesitated reading it, because of the genre, but I really need to try it one dayEmma at Words And Peace / France Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09426924864218623976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009417175818512962.post-82659750476342818742020-07-03T12:26:26.576+02:002020-07-03T12:26:26.576+02:00I just said to Judy ^^ that I saw another post abo...I just said to Judy ^^ that I saw another post about someone who really liked it.
