“Once more have I seen the Count go out in his lizard fashion” fantastic

Lucy is here!

Mina is here!

love the part where the count throws Jonathan’s shaving mirror out the window lol

kinda weird how the servants never show themselves and all the servant tasks are mysteriously completed whenever the count is out of the room

“It had not meant much to me that I was a Jew: within myself, and in my contacts with my Christian friends, I had always considered my origin as an almost negligible but curious fact, a small amusing anomaly… a Jew is somebody who at Christmas does not have a tree, who should not eat salami but eats it all the same, who has learned a bit of Hebrew at thirteen and then has forgotten it.”

I always enjoy the fun fact that traditionally “roads in the Carpathians are not to be kept in too good order” because in the olden days “the Hospadars would not repair them lest the Turk should think that they were preparing to bring in foreign troops, and so hasten the war which was always really at loading point.” good stuff

btw jsyk today is the eve of St. George's Day and to-night when the clock strikes midnight all the evil things in the world will have full sway

Not doing much for me honestly

gotta get that red pepper chicken recipe for Mina

finally reading this after seeing the author’s cute Gap ad on Instagram, already seeing why people say this is so funny

Kinda slogging but keeping my interest enough not to DNF yet

getting maybe a little convoluted but I’m still intrigued

Oh Fitz

Having trouble locking in on this one but I’ve heard incredible things

For some reason I’m reading a ton of books this year about parents who lost a child

diggin it so far

Holding my interest so far!

Cute so far

too many physical descriptions of harbors for my taste but I know something real messed up is gonna happen and I kinda wanna see it

I just love boy friendship stories so much

I’m continuing to ration this book because I genuinely love it so much
