I love Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day! And I remember enjoying Is He Popenjoy? (I am a big Trollope fan.)

Love Mimi Matthews!

The house of silk really is shocking!

I have been collecting all of the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters. I think I have one left in the series. Anthony Horowitz I have only read one book by him. It is titled “The Word of Murder”. I really enjoyed it. It blurred the lines of what was fact and what was fiction. He makes himself a character in the book. You might find it interesting. Such a great haul. Happy reading!

what clothbound is that on the shelf? I couldn't make out the name...I was looking at getting some Trollope works myself

What a great haul! If you want to buddy read Ralph the Heir, The Bertrams, or Hester, let me know!

I chose Dracula to read for Victober, but I am not sure I will get to it. However, I accidentally started a novel published in 1895 (I think) called He Fell In Love With His Wife and it is such a fun read. I am counting that as my Victorian read... 😂

Ok question (for you and for anyone reading this that reads classics lol) I know intro's and notes can spoil the book if you haven't read it before, so from your personal experience reading classics, do you read them before or after the book (or at all)?? :)

HA..love the pringles 🤭 hide them chips

Great haul!

Jonathon Strange is sitting on my shelves and keeps calling my name.

The cover of Ester is gorgeous!

For the odor, try a bowl of plain, cheap white vinegar. The smell will disappear almost immediately and no, there will be no lingering odor of vingear.

😂fantastic accent! Love it

What a fun haul! I hope you are doing well! For the mildewy books - maybe set them outside on a sunny day for a while? I know sun works kinda like bleach on moldy/mildewy things. I've done it with textiles before, but I don't know about books. I know I mentioned on GR, but I agree with your observations on The Doctor's Wife, although I landed more at 3.5-4 stars. I also want to read Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell. And the Persephone book! Fabulous find! I really want one as well. Hmmm I have some Pango bucks, maybe I'll look on there and see if they have any.

Hi Miriam😊 A very nice Victorian and Historical Fiction, which is one of my favs next to mystery, book haul. You scored with your first Persephone from Abe Books which I’ve ordered from before for thrifted books and like. Thanks for sharing about The House Of Silk as I was wondering about it being a huge SH fan. Always enjoy and trust your book reviews and look forward to adding to my ever growing tbr. Too funny about your Pringles😜😂

Yay all the Trollope and Mrs Oliphant 🎉🎉🎉

I used to work at a used bookstore for years, lightly spray vinegar on the books, wipe off & let air out.

The Elizabeth Peters mystery series sounds so fun! What a lovely book haul!

I've heard the freezer works for mold. Theres a really good film adaptation for Miss Pettigrew.

Mimi Matthews❤ Great haul sis.

The Pringles! MEEE

I just finished Eye for an Eye tonight. Really enjoyed it.

You need to get a refund for the books. Nothing will get out mold and the mold spores can spread to other books

Love Miss Pettigrew! I think you will too. And I read The House of Silk years ago and though I don’t remember much about it, I know I enjoyed it.

I am almost done with my first reading of The Woman in White and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I can’t put it down…it’s such a page-turner. Also a friend of mine recommended I read Tess as my first Hardy and now that you gushed about it it definitely will be! Such a lovely wrap up.

So nice to see that you got more Trollope novels. I have read them all and my love for him is beyond compare to any other Victorian author. All of the ones you got are fantastic. My favorite of the bunch is Is He Popenjoy but Ralph The Heir is a close second. The Claverings and The Bertrams were good as well but not quite as good as the others.😊

Oh, I love a good book haul!!!!!! 😄 Miss Pettigrew is sooooooooo good!

I am a huge Trollope fan and the Amelia Peabody series is fabulous.

I tried The Doctor's Wife, but could not get into it, so I DNF it.

Loved The Claverings and Ralph the Heir; I plan to read an Eye for An Eye this month for Victober. Totally agree about Oxford World's Classics. Happy Victober!

Try a bowl of vinegar in a plastic container with your books.

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell is such a treat. I read it last January. You're right, it's perfect for winter. I'm reading Trollope's Can You Forgive Her? in The World's Classics edition like you have there for Ralph the Heir. It has a great font size and a wonderful flop. Enjoy!

The Year of Miss Agnes is absolutely WONDERFUL!!

I'm so glad I found you. Definitely worth a subscribe. ❤

Christmas in September! I'm here for it! Sometimes, you just need some Christmas. 😂❤

Did you end up reading in a Darkling wood?

Yaaasss, Lost in Darkness!!!! Wooo

Yaaaaaas! Evelyn Hardcastle!!

What did you end up thinking of in Darkling Wood?

Looooove the twinkly set up in the back!!! 😍😍😍

We have very similar reading tastes. I love Roseanna M White's books as well but not the codebreakers series - it's hard for me to get into as well.

Some people don't read 12 books in a life time. Best wishes and happy reading.

I read Tess in August and loved it sooooo much! I'm happy you enjoyed it, too. 😊

I added The Soul Mark Duology, The Exiles, and Born of Gilded Mountains to my TBR. I LOVED These Silent Woods, it was so, so good!!!

Ugh...I'm still trying to get caught up with my fav RUclipsrs. I'm so happy to see your fall decor. I'm not a summer person either.

I can’t wait to get my copy of The Woman in White!😁 I’m ok with a slow burn. And I have TOTD’s in my tbr. 📚I feel inspired to read more since getting back into reading and really appreciate your review on it. Hope your feeling better Miriam since posting your video, hope all goes well with your surgery, and take care😊💓

I am currently reading “Blood on the Tracks” in October. I am enjoying it. You are not the only one that has a love for trains. My husband and I are huge fans of trains; more so steam trains. Have you ever read the author Edward Marston? He has a series called “The Railway Detective” it is set in 1850s England. I enjoy them (as well some of his other series).

Tess is one I have struggled with since high school. Maybe it is time to give it another chance. I too absolutely adore Mrs. Polifax!

Nice to 'see' you again. Prayed about the upcoming medical procedure you mentioned.🙏 Recently ordered Woman in White and am optimistic. Also, my wife is your fellow-Pollifax fan! :) Finally, just a thought: I too love trains and stories that involve them and wanted to recommend an old Alfred Hitchcock movie I think you might really enjoy (I do) -- The Lady Vanishes (1938).🚃
