Best wishes with what you choose to read. I hope you get some great stories. Happy reading from wet windy darkest Lancashire, England.

I have a kobo sage and a kindle paperwhite. I recently tried a free subscription to kobo plus and kindle unlimited. For me kobo plus is fantastic. I’ve been amazed. But I am not a romance reader. Kobo plus has a huge offering of mysteries and historical fiction I’m interested in by authors I have read in the past . I currently have 40 books from kobo plus downloaded. I also appreciate overdrive directly on the device . I may wait on color when the tech doesn’t require a filter. Kindle unlimited just didn’t have much offering of things I enjoy . I think they are okay if you want kindle self published books or the latest TikTok books .

I have read just about all of Oscar Wilde's plays. He is brilliant and a man of tremendous wit. I also recommend his novel The Picture of Dorian Grey. I know a lot of people are including this in their Victober reading and I will be rereading it myself.

This video about Tolstoy’s War and Peace is an audacious sweep of vivacity, charm, laughter and fun in its purest form. I read W&P, on the sly, when my mentor’s daughter, who came on vacation, brought a paperback copy of the novel. I still recall: it was a Constance Garnet translation in paperback. I was thirteen at the time. This was in the 60’s. I read it again in mid-70’s when attending an undergraduate premier Tibetan institute in Varanasi, India. No avid viewer will tire from enjoying this riveting exploration of the great novel. Everything else is “downhill from there.”

The deal breaker is the Google Drive integration. I'm loving that feature

I totally agree with you about War and Peace. It was very underwhelming. I can’t believe people rate it highly at all. It really needed major editing. So glad to find someone who agrees with me.

Where do you get the plastic cover for your notebook? I’ve just started watching your channel and love it. Thank you.

Great TBR! I hope you have a wonderful Victober! ☺

I love Henry !

I can’t wait for you to meet Mrs Proudie in Barchester Towers, Susan, the fearsome 😱 wife of the bishop. A horrible woman, who actually rules instead of her husband, but she also made me laugh so hard!

Great choices 😊 Hope you enjoy Victober!

Hi Susan. What a well planned TBR. I am glad you are joining us for the group read too. Thanks for linking to Jennifer's Collins video and Alice's on Sherlock Holmes.

That's funny about A Tale of Two Cities. I remember liking it quite a bit when I was younger and it's talked about in the movie "Up the Down Staircase" but I read it a few years ago and really didn't think much of it.

I loved the entire Barchester chronicles. I recently read Can You Forgive Her and plan to continue with the Pallisers Chronicles beginning with Phineas Finn.

A great list for Victober! I have read them all except Armadale. You will LOVE Barchester Towers! All I can say is--watch out for Mr Slope🤣

What a wonderful TBR! I love how you've tried to keep to a realistic and managable TBR for the month. I'm starting to get carried away with all of the fun possibilities and combinations of books to meet the challenges myself, but I think that Armadale, The Return of the Native, and The Time Machine may just make it onto my list this year too. Happy almost Victober!

I am subscribed and wrote down some of your suggestions. I've seen a few "Victober" book tube channels already. Many recommended Sherlock Holmes, Hound Of The Baskervilles for Victober AND Autumn! Maybe you could read that one. I have it (unread) so I am thinking of it. SO many good choices for Victober have to give this ALOT of thought; esp. NOT to set myself up for failure. Thank you!😊

❤❤❤❤📚📚📖☕☕

Oh Susan, I feel like I’m never on time for these challenges! I own Dortor Thorne by Anthony Trollope and I wonder if I can start with this one or if I have to read the other ones first…

Love all Sherlock Holmes books and short stories. Have read the stories several times. They are comforting somehow. If The Sign of the four is a book, as I recall, then it is my favorite. Lovely to honor Alice and Jennifer. 💕

As much as I love Victober, I'm saddened because I discovered both Jennifer and Alice's channels during last Victober. 😢 Armadale is terrific, I hope you enjoy it. I'm going easy on myself this year. My only definites are The Doctor's Wife and The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Time permitting, I might read a short Wilkie Collins and Can You Forgive Her.

The plan: 'The Nottingham Hill Mystery' (form). 'Rhys Lewis, Minister of Bethel' (religion) 'Quid Pro Quo' Catherine Gore (play - me determined to find a female Victorian playwright) but I do love the film version of 'An Ideal Husband' - not sure about the serialisation a lot of them are, maybe Gaskell or Trollope 'The Law and the Lady' (Collins) one of the Sherlock Holmes stories. I will probably rewatch Alice and Jennifer.

Susan, your Victober tbrs are always such a treat to watch! I love how you have strategized for Victober this year and I hope it's a wonderful time!

I plan on reading Dracula and The Woman in White this year for Victober. I will definitely watch Jennifer and Alice's videos you mentioned.

Far from the Madding Crowd❤❤❤❤❤❤yes please read it !but if u hate it dont say so😂😂😂My heart will break

Great choices!
