Book Blogger Hop; Reading Dracula and Frankenstein

It's Friday, which means it's time for a new Book Blogger Hop, thanks to the blogger behind Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Both Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein are considered classics. Have you ever read either of them?".


I can admit that not only has I read both, I also wrote my Bachelor thesis on Bram Stoker's Dracula this spring, which I even managed to get an A on (I honestly didn't expect to get top grade, even as a Dracula-addict). If anyone is really curious about my thesis. feel free to check out Wooden Stakes and Canine Teeth; The Battle of the Sexes in Bram Stoker’s Dracula at Academia.Edu.

PS. Sorry if I sounded like a show-off in this post.

    The title for your thesis has me intrigued, so I've bookmarked it to read later when I have a bit more spare time (I'm rather swamped with work and playing catch-up on my blog at the moment).

    Hope you have a great weekend. - Katie

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
