Dracula

Finally! I enjoyed the audiobook a lot (narrated by Simon Vance), but man it took me a long time to get through 14 hours! And especially towards the end when they're just like, waiting for the count's coffin to hurry up and get back to Transylvania so they can stake him, it dragged a lot. I fully zoned out for like 20 minutes while working at this coffee shop, and as far as I can tell I missed nothing.

This was my second time reading it, almost 10 years between, and color me surprised I remembered as much of it as I did!

But really I just want to tell you that we have the kids' board book “Dracula: A Counting Primer by Little Master Stoker” (lol) and Ethan already knows the names of all “Five Heroes” and is very proud of himself as he names them (“Doctor Helsing!”) but also he counts “one two three four five eight seven eight” for almost every page, so. Pretty good for not even being three yet. Starting him early on the good literature!
