I love October. Mostly. One thing that I loved about this weekend was seeing all these new challenges pop up. That was just great fun for me! I haven't decided which ones I'll be joining just yet. Though a couple of them are too obvious to wait on. :)

Which version of the Scarlet Pimpernel?
I hope you're enjoying The Monk! Can't wait to read what you thought about it.
Dracula has always seemed to me to be a book I'd never, ever be interested in reading. Yet I hear such wonderful remarks about it.
Paige, The one from the 80s with Jane Seymour and Anthony Andrews.
I am enjoying it so far, though I may not read it all that timely. I've got so many books going all at once!
Debnance, It's a surprisingly good book. Meaning, like you, I had my doubts. If I wasn't dared by a friend to give it a try, I wouldn't have read it. This is a reread for me. If I can squeeze it in that is!
That is the only version I've seen and I do love it. I had a crush on Anthony Andrews back in the 80's -- loved everything he did.
Oh how i love novels about the Tudors. I hope that the review of Tudor Rose by Margaret Campbell Barnes will be up soon.
