Your enthusiasm and passion for reading simply oozed from this video; it’s contagious! Time is a crafty devil that sneaks by without us discerning it passing, but what astonished me most was your ability to do a synopsis of these ten novels like you read them yesterday. Thanks, Katie, for another entertaining, informative, and useful video for all booklovers.

I liked the idea of all your favourites! I'm starting Victober with finishing Mugby Junction, going on to Charlotte Bronte's The Professor, then The Daisy Chain (Charlotte M Yonge - new author). Definitely fitting in Women Who Did. Hopefully more after that!

Happy Victober! Will join by re-reading Wuthering Heights. Lost count of the number of times I've read it, but it's been too long since the last time. Just like with Jane Austen July I may not complete all the challenges , but it always makes me pick up at least one book I've been meaning to read. Perhaps I'll even read something by Dickens or Eliot too, two of my favourite Victorian authors.

Katie, I love your excitement for victorian literature. Some great recommendations for people new to this literature like me . I have not read any of them, although reading Anthony Trollope this year with victober very daunting.

Hey Kate - I'd like to wish you luck with your Trollope project. I, myself, wanted to do something similar with the works of Honore de Balzac. I made good progress before being sidetracked in Proust and Hugo and quite frankly don't expect to finish. And so, it seems proper again wishing you good luck, deriving some vicarious satisfaction.

Thank you, I put two down on my TBR: Aurora Leigh, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and The Vicar of Bullhampton, Anthony Trollope. I have to confess Anthony Trollope is new to me but from all the fans of him on KZitem, he is most of my reads this month. My list for the last 5 years (they are re-reads); Jane Eyre Around the world in 80 days Little Women The Tenet of Wildfeld Hall The Time Machine Agnes Grey But this year for my first Victober they are all new. I am looking forward to it.

So great to see your list, Katie! As it so happens I am 400 pages into East Lynne and enjoying it very much. I have Olive and Deerbrook waiting in the wings. It is going to be a great Victober! :) I am also wondering if you have read any of the novels written by Trollope's mother, Fanny(Frances)? I saw some of her books on eBay and AbeBooks, among other places, and I am tempted to give one a try.

I still need to read Deerbrook! I read her Feats on the Fiord earlier this summer and I'm currently about 2/3 of the way through the second volume of History of England During the Thirty Years Peace. I hadn't realized Penguin came out with an edition of that one. That's pretty cool!

I really need to read more by Harriet Martineau! Yes, annoyingly, though, the Penguin edition of Deerbrook is only on ebook - I'm not actually sure if they ever made a physical edition of it, or just released an ebook.

00:10 What’s the background to the three note ditty? (D - F - Bb) D - Books F - and Bb - Things ?
@katiejlumsden
10 ай бұрын
So, Bb major is just my favourite chord, and I like the progression of D, F, then Bb, because for the first two chords it could be D minor, if it ends in A, but then it actually ends in Bb and turns into a major chord.
