Day one of the @teenagecancertrust.bsky.social September Reading Challenge, I am reading at least 10 pages per day, on track so far! Sign up here! support.teenagecancertrust.org/event/septem...

Day 2, another 15 pages!

Day 5 and I'm already ahead of my reading goal and I wanted to link to Yvonne's fundraiser, she's attempting to read 20 books in September with 1 added for every £1000 raised! support.teenagecancertrust.org/fundraisers/...

Day 6, finally got to the actual story after all the introductions 😆

Day 7, Harker is nearly at the Count's castle 🦇

I am also reading this specific book as in 2026 I have been taking part in the West Sussex libraries year of reading challenge, and September's prompt is a translated book. This book is the English translation of an Icelandic version of Dracula that was found recently, so it's a double translation!

On track with my reading challenge, if you'd like to donate, Yvonne's sponsorship page is here support.teenagecancertrust.org/fundraisers/...

Day 22 and I've finished the powers of darkness, an interesting translation historically but kinda hilarious how the second part is so rushed like the author was just bored of the whole thing and trying to finish it 😆

I'll be finishing up September's reading challenge by trying to finish this book I've had about 20 years 😅
