Favourite Book Challenge

Hi all

I was challenged by a friend on Facebook this week to select a favourite book (I think I was supposed to select one every day of the week, but that was just too difficult, so I settled for one!), and after much consideration (about a minute), I settled on...

Dracula by Bram Stoker

This book spawned a whole sub-genre in the world of paranormal writing and although not everyone’s cup of reading tea, is still a classic.  It has sparked so many imaginations since publication in the late 19th century that I think it deserves to be chosen.  It is the one hard backed book I still have in my collection, the rest being paperbacks or digital.

And... because I am British and love talking about the weather... Spring is officially here.  The daffs have been and gone, the cherry blossom is, well, blossoming, and there are woods full of beautiful bluebells... although we did have a mini heatwave, could the weather be just a tad warmer than it is now please?

More to report soon after our trip to the Speyside Whisky Festival, Scotland and Whitby on the way back home (I think it may be an expensive trip...!).
