Book Blogger Hop; Favourite Classic

As it is Friday, it's probably time for a new Book Blogger Hop post courtesy of Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer. The question of the week was "Do you have a favorite classic? When did you read it? High school or as an adult?".
Those of you who know me well enough, probably know that one of my favourite novels, not just favourite classics, are Bram Stoker's Dracula. Dracula to me is what Harry Potter is to Potterheads (and I'm a Potterhead as well).

      There's a lot of good books out there, regardless of genre. :-)

    Dracula was amazing! It was very immersive and extremely interesting I remember spending hours and hours doing nothing but reading it.I think it is one of the most interesting books I have read and it intrigued me to read more Gothic horror.

      It's an interesting novel for sure, which was part of the reason why I wrote my BA dissertation on it a few years back. :-)

    I don’t read classics any more, I’m a a fan of contemporary paranormal romance or urban fantasy stories instead but I did read Dracula a couple of years ago and remember thinking how different it was from all the films I'd seen.

      Urban fantasy and contemporary paranormal books are fun reads as well. :-)

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...
