I like that you have a lot of short stories on here, it reminds me that I need to get back to reading some of my short story collections at some point! I hope you enjoy all these reads and are having a good victober so far!
I love how you enjoy major known classics but also are not afraid to lean into perhaps lesser-known works and bring them to our attention! I'm still torn about my pile of possibilities. I have never read The Moonstone and may read that; I also have quite a few short stories and additionally would like to read either Shirley or Agnes Grey, as well as some of Gaskell's Cranford sketches. Happy reading! 😊
Gissing’s Demos sounds really fascinating. And The Lifted Veil is such a lovely edition! (I’m afraid to tell you I may be planning an Eliot-heavy Victober…)
i love audio books! i am addicted now,lol so far i went through alot of jane austen. and i will be listening to more. sherlock holmes i am reading and listening,as well agatha chrisie.
I like to see an ambitious Victober TBR/ pile of possibilities because it reminds me of all the ambition I have had in previous years. I have fewer books this time around as I've decided to finally tackle The Last Chronicle of Barset. Also looking forward to our buddy read. As always I hope that you have a grand Victober and find some new favourites among the books.
Both sound and picture are fine 🙂 ! Really enjoyed hearing about your TBR: I'm starting Victober with Dr Wortle's School; after that I'll see how it goes.
I always have a little chuckle when you talk about George Eliot Katie 😉 and I also always love your mammoth Victober TBR’s. I loved Ayala’s Angel too and also really liked Mr Scarborough’s Family. There is some cringy Jewish money lender bits in there but other than that it’s a good one. A friend and I read a bunch of stories of the vfsp, Victorian short fiction site, last year and had already decided to read some ‘portmanteau’ stories this year including The Haunted House so your prompt was perfect!
Hi Katie, I'm new to your RUclips channel and I enjoyed very much your presentation. I used to be quite an avid reader, but through the years mainly work began to erode my novel reading which nearly petered out. I retired in December 2022 at the age of 69 and I was able to restore my focus on both my landscape photography and reading. I now have little stacks of books dotted throughout my home, some completed, some in stages of being read. I mainly concentrate on 19th Century novels, but I have recently expanded this into the 1920s to include D H Lawrence and Catherine Carswell (both writers friends for many years). I'm currently reading Catherine Carswell's 'The Camomile', published in 1922 and re-published by 'British Library Women Writers' in 2024. The main attraction was her friendship with D H Lawrence, and her association with Glasgow where I was born in 1953. We moved to Sheffield in autumn 1982 and my wife and I have lived here ever since. Though Sheffield is really our adopted home, our roots are still in Scotland and probably always will be; my wife is a Scottish lass from Ayrshire. 'The Camomile' is a good read and runs to about 203 pages. I recognise most of the names of the places in and near Glasgow mentioned in the book through I'm not very enthusiastic about Catherine's geography which seems to awry in different places throughout the novel. The lead character of the novel lives in Glasgow and corresponds by letter to her friend in London. The novel has quite middle-class overtones and I found it a little unsettling with her negative allusions to ordinary Glasgow people, of which I am very happy to be one. I suppose it is because the book centres on where I lived and studied and worked in industry, and is also set very near the area of Glasgow where I used to live. The Camomile is a very good read and I recommend it, especially if you have never lived or visited Glasgow. For 'Victober 2024' I have chosen the recommended group read of 'The Doctor's Wife' by Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and I have the book next to me just now. I read 'Madame Bovary' by Gustave Flaubert a number of years ago and I have it on a book shelf here in the room. I'm going to read the introduction to 'Madame Bovary' as a memory refresher before starting 'The Doctor's Wife'. I have not long finished reading 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte. I had put off reading her novel for many years because I knew it would be a challenging read in terms of its content. I worked myself up to preparedness by reading a number of Thomas Hardy novels, in chronological order, finishing with 'The Trumpet Major', his only historical novel. I have Hardy's 'A Laodicean' and 'Two on a Tower' waiting to be read. I also bought, recently, Barbara Pym's novel 'Quartet in Autumn' just for fun and a bit of light reading if I feel the need. The BBC re-broadcast, recently, a short drama based on Barbara Pym's visit to London to attend a Booker Prize ceremony. She had been nominated for her novel 'Quartet in Autumn'. Patricia Routledge portrayed Barbara Pym superbly. The drama may still be available on BBC iPlayer. Apologies for the long comment, at 71 I tend to ramble a bit. Regards, Paul (Sheffield, South Yorkshire)
Hi, and welcome to Books and Things! Thanks very much. Catherine Carswell sounds really interesting - I'll have to look into her books and especially 'The Camomile'. I hope you enjoy The Doctor's Wife. I must warn you that Quartet in Autumn isn't a terrible light read - it's fantastic, but definitely on the darker/more solemn side for Pym! I love it a lot, though.
Hi, I use a microphone ‘Boya BY-M1 - Omini Directional Lavalier Microphone, Black’, it's available on Amazon, it's cheap and works very well, although you can hear it very well. I love all the books you have chosen, some of them are not available here, nor translated, but I'll write them down in case I can get them sometime. I'll read ‘Little Dorrit’ one of my big Dickens' pending books. Lous the Witch I read this year and it surprised me because it doesn't have a usual Gaskell plot. Eliot's The Lifted Veil is very interesting. That edition you show is beautiful. I'll keep an eye out for your readings. Best regards Sorry for my English.
I think I recommended Mr Scarborough’s Family to you after reading it just after Christmas. It’s one of my favourite Trollope novels - probably top 5 and my favourite standalone novel. Mr Scarborough is a very memorable character, and it’s an exciting and intriguing novel.
I had high hopes of finishing daniel deronda in victober, but I've put it to one side for now. I like george eliot, but so far, I'm finding Gwendolyn pretty hard to take. I will try it again at some point. I've got my fingers crossed you will like the Ainsworth novel, he wrote a lot of books!
Oh The Lancashire Witches! I wrote a chapter of my master's dissertation on it! It's...well, it's not the best book in the world, but I found it quite interesting. And it's good for the Halloween season.
@@katiejlumsden Have you ever read Thackeray's "The Newcomes?" It's an excellent Victorian novel by none other than the mind which conjured up Becky Sharpe. It's a very unusual novel, and in really interesting ways. Also, I've just picked up a copy of "Castle Rackrent" for a book I am writing, and I am very much looking forward to it. I loved "The Absentee," another novel by Edgeworth. I believe Dickens admired her writing a great deal. To say I am "very much looking forward to it" is, admittedly, and exercise in understatement: I've been dying to read it for years and have never been able to find a copy out in the wild until recently.
I'm glad you like Daniel Deronda, the only Eliot novel I really get on with. I'm in the minority who find the Daniel sections the most interesting bits of the novel. There are folk who say it should be abridged to remove all the Daniel sections and I don't trust those people, haha.
Silas Marner was inflicted on me in high school; I managed to skip the middle and still pass the test. Tackled it again a few years ago and found George much improved. And it's short, for her.
I think you're going to like Jezebel's daughter, I enjoyed it alot. I am hoping to read a Trollope novel, not sure which one as yet. Been liking his books alot.
Hi Katie😊! That's a great Pile Of Possibilities- I'd really like to hear more about the Anthony Trollope books you've chosen - I'm reading - Wilkie Collin's - The Woman In White , Anthony Trollope's - The Vicar Of Bullampton, Wuthering Heights and plays by Oscar Wilde and maybe Bram Stoker's Dracula for Victober 2024 😊.
Picked up a copy of Trollope's The Struggles of Brown, Jones and Robinson which will be my 21st Trollope novel - thankfully this one is on the shorter side. I think I will also try Wilkie Collins' Man and Wife as it sounds so incredibly interesting. I've only read The Moonstone and that was a long time ago so I guess it's time for another by him.
Get one of those teeny tiny fluffy microphones they seem to be all the rage these days 😂 I’m joking I think a retro looking one would suit your aesthetic definitely! ❤
Middlemarch is regularly part of French students' curriculum if they are reading English literature and intend to teach in a secondary school...or at university! I read it... slowly, but I managed it😅 ...I thought it a daunting and challenging read though.
I’m sneaking up on Victober by listening to The Doctor’s Wife on audio book. I won’t say anything about it except I appreciate your recommendation to read it. Your ambition puts me to shame, and I hope you’re able to read most of the books you mentioned. I know you and George Eliot don’t exactly see eye to eye and her style grates on you, but I did like Silas Marner, and maybe that was because I enjoyed the 1985 BBC adaptation starring Ben Kingsley before reading the novel-I’m not sure. All the best, Katie, for a successful go at your Victober TBR!
I might read some of the early Carlingford Mrs. Oliphant books, I like how they get gradually longer, I guess she remembered she was Victorian. I'mg going to read The White Company too, apparently Conan-Doyle thought his Sir Nigel stuff was his best work, but I've heard some bits of it on a podcast and it was pretty ridiculous.
Sadly this year is going to be a low key one for me. I’m planning on reading Through the Looking Glass and Curdie and the Princess by George MacDonald. I may try and find a play on RUclips to watch though.
I read The haunted house on audiobook and it wasn't really my style, hope you like it better ! In the Doctor's wife, I mostly really enjoyed Sigismund Smith, he was so funny ! I read The white company a very long time ago but have good memories of it (Arthur Conan Doyle fan here). And I'll never thank you enough for making me read Anthony Trollope who is now one of my favourite authors 💜
Have you read any of Anna Jacobs' historical fiction? I've read 8 of her books this year so far. Taken me completely off-track from my original plan to read this year, but that's ok because they're books. That witches book sounds good.
Hi, Katie. I think that you should give The Lifted Veil a read. I'm not a fan of George Eliot's writing style, but the Lifted Veil was the first of her works that I read, and I really enjoyed it. For context, I read and enjoyed Silas Marner (although, it felt like a slog at times). I attempted and DNF'd Middlemarch, at 35%, earlier this year. And I have no desire to read anything else by George Eliot. All that said, I still think that you might enjoy The Lifted Veil.
I like "pile of possibilities" as opposed to TBR! I've got an ample pile for Victober, including Our Mutual Friend, and a couple of Elizabeth Gaskells. I already tried "Fate of Fenella." It was...interesting. I'm just impressed that half the writers were women! What is the Discord where y'all will be discussing The Doctor's Wife? Hold the presses - Gothtober?!?!?! Why do all these challenges happen in October????
As always, I am using Avsim "read sample" for the first few pages. Ignoring the characters and plot, never minding much what they say and focus on how they say it. And once a good author is found, most of their books will be gold. For instance, starting at the beginning of Dicken's first, Sketches by Boz, told me that he had real talent.
mam i alwyas wish to read books i have 50 + i book form and 100 + in audio books and pdf and i hardly read 10 in last 1-2 years i many times involve into youtube videos etc but i wish to read may books how mam give me some solution it really help please
I read Linda Trussel 2 years ago. 😢😭💔 One of the saddest I've ever read. She one character I will always remember. Love Anthony Trollope. 🩷 & George Eliot. 🩷
I wonder if a few people might be reading "The Secrets of Hartwood Hall" this month?
I like that you have a lot of short stories on here, it reminds me that I need to get back to reading some of my short story collections at some point! I hope you enjoy all these reads and are having a good victober so far!
I can’t believe I completely missed this video! Your Great Expectations mug is so cute. The rode microphones work great and are quite affordable.
Lois the Witch tore my heart out! Such a powerful, harrowing tale...
Yes!! 😢💔
Your Victober TBRs, like Kate Howes, are so educational for me about Victorian literature, you know so much!
Oh my gosh, that book written chapter by chapter by various authors sounds interesting. What a fun concept!
I saw your book in Shakespeare and Co in Paris! How cool is that! It's such a legendary place...and your book is there! So awesome!
That is so cool! Thanks for letting me know.
You always have such an interesting Victober TBR. I hope you enjoy everything you get to Katie ❤
Thanks for pointing me to the collection of Oscar Wilde short stories - will definitely be adding them to my TBR for this Victober.
Thank you Katie!

I tried listening to Silas Marner during my commute. I had to DNF it because I kept falling asleep.
I'm planning on Reading The Woman in White, Dombey and Son, and Wuthering Heights.
Hope you enjoy your Victober TBR.
Varney the Vampire has been on my tbr. Now I'll be looking for that illustrated edition 😀 The two multi-author books look great as well!
Katie, such a splendid lineup! I would LOVE it if you read In the Roar of the Sea! Such a fabulous fabulous read.
Both sound and picture are fine 🙂 ! Really enjoyed hearing about your TBR: I'm starting Victober with Dr Wortle's School; after that I'll see how it goes.
I think Varney The Vampire is an underrated classic! It was a lot of fun, I read it a few years ago.

I’m so excited about victober. I have a couple of dickens and a Trollope as well as a few other books. The group book looks so good 😊
Love Dickens!
I am actually planning to read Our Mutual Friend in October.
So far my favorite Dickens has been Bleak House.
❤❤❤❤
Waited all year for my first victober✨💌
Enjoy :)
The Fate of Finella sounds intriguing and quirky. I had some digital credit on amazon so ordered the kindle version. Looking forward to it!

It's such a great novel - so pleased you loved it :)

Yes, to be honest, I'd remove all the Gwendolen sections and just read about Daniel and Mirah myself! I like Daniel's section best!

Hi Katie
A Great Pile of Possibilities to read. I do hope that you will be able to read them.
Take Care & Happy Reading

Very ambitious, very interesting though. :) 📚
I always re read david copperfeild and silas mariner.
Aaaah yes!
Love Dickens!
And I just bought a new edition of Silas Marner so I can read it again!!❤

Then maybe I will like?! We shall see!
I read Linda Trussel 2 years ago. 😢😭💔 One of the saddest I've ever read.
She one character I will always remember.
Love Anthony Trollope. 🩷 & George Eliot. 🩷
I stand warned about the emotion!
