    I’m a newer reader and a lot of what I read is 20th century lit, I’ve only dabbled in George Eliot and Oscar Wilde who I do like in all fairness, so I’m going to read Jane Eyre this October. I have college in the fall and I want something deep but not overly complex and I’ve heard Jane Eyre is very approachable (especially since I’m reading The Sound and The Fury right now and while I am loving it that book is crazy lol.)

    I just discovered Victober a few weeks ago. What a wonderful idea! I'm French Canadian but I have always had a taste for the classics. The few victorian novels I read like Vanity fair, War of the worlds, Great expectations or Treasure Island I absolutely loved. So, I want to participate. I already had a pile of TBR classics and now that I have more time on my hand I will begin with the book that happens to be on the top : The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot.

I was also planning on reading a Hardy, so if a pick The Woodlanders I would be doing Marissa's and Katie's challenges. Or I may read Jill by Amy Dillwyn, which is on the way by mail for those challenges too. And I should finish The Way We Live Now, I paused it ages ago, and the group read may be the perfect push I needed for it!

    Just love the intro. Those pictures are wonderful. It's like something special is coming on tv, or UA-cam. I am taking two months for Victober so I can get more than one book read. I definitely want to partake of Jane Eyre. It is a new author to me, It is about class, and she definitely travels somewhere new and she is a new person in a community. I want to aim at doing the group read. That book is so looooooong. But it seems to be full of events and plots. I've seen part of the mini series so I know a little about it. I've never read Trollope, so he is new to me, A person could get stuck in the Victorian era for years. I've been reading my favorite period the Regency.

    Victober - the best part of the year! Looking forward to my 5th time participating.
    I'm rereading 'Dracula' for Petra's challenge, but it works for yours, too. However, I think I might read a short story collection 'In a Glass Darkly'by Sheridan Le Fanu for this one. It contains 'Carmilla', who is also a stranger/ outsider. I hope there are some other stories in there that would fit the challenge.
    Have a great Victober!🎉

      I haven't read the Ballad of Reading Gaol but I'm sure it's a moving reading experience!

    Yay! Kate, I love love your Victober videos! 😍❤ You always make this month so exciting! I made a huge list of books I want to read, though I'll probably only read a few 😂 Thank you for the awesome suggestions. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Many hugs! 🤗💕🌸

      @@katehowereads Right now, I have The Half Sisters by Geraldine Jewsbury and Daniel Deronda on my list...but, I'm very tempted to add Countess Kate and/or Heartsease to the list, too! I found a very old copy of DD at an antique store and it's calling my name (even though I feel pretty intimidated by it)!

      @@GinaHouse I think you and Charlotte Mary Yonge are meant to become great friends!
      The Half Sisters and Daniel Deronda would both be amazing choices.
