(I personally don't and find the drinking of blood even in thought revolting) From the excerpt tho' it seems a good way to look at the reality vs the gothic like in Northanger. It was very funny and amusing the bit you shared with us. I'd love to read it.

How embarrassing! Imagine a girl today actually believing in vampires because of an obsession with Twilight. I will admit, this book has caught my attention, but my personality will not allow me to withstand the embarrassment I will feel for her. Poor girl. Wow, she is going to have some awkward moments - such as the excerpt above. Brava Jenni James on a perfect idea!Kristi Quisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05376583948181877841noreply@blogger.com
