Jesstifies Just read it, it was really good, slow for me at the start, but became very comfortable!! 1mo

Stellina @Jesstifies I'm noticing it's a slow start so I'm happy to hear it picks up. Thanks for your opinion, that helps a lot! 1mo

KarmonR I was surprised to see how many forms of communication Stoker played with. 1mo

A Defence of Calvinism | Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Finished my first piece of Victorian writing for #Victober. The Prince of Preachers explains theology in easy to understand wording. This is a small booklet, yet holds so much. Look up Charles Spurgeon and read a few of his nuggets of wisdom!

The Bibliomania Or Book Madness: Containing Some Account of the History, Symptoms, and Cure of this Fatal Disease, in an Epistle Addressed to Richard Heber | Thomas Frognall Dibdin

Trying to sort out my October reading...

Spooky month so want to read ALL of the spooky books.

#Victober & I love Victorian novels & I want to read ALL of Victorian lit.

The Tempest is so interesting for #ShakespeareReadAlong & want to read ALL of the Tempest retellings while it's fresh in my mind.

The Secret Commonwealth comes out & I want to reread the trilogy & FINALLY get around to Book of Dust.

So clearly I'll read none of these 🤣

Cathythoughts 😂 Scary 😱😂I just got this one on my kindle - Litsy recommendation- sounds good too

This House is Haunted

2mo

batsy @Cathythoughts Yes, I just added that to my TBR because I saw it here! And when I say added to my TBR I mean that most sincerely 😂😂 2mo

saresmoore 😂😜 I just love this post! And I feel your pain! 2mo

Cathythoughts Oh yes just looked up The Secret Commonwealth 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I‘ve only read Northern Lights though .... Victober ... love it 2mo

erzascarletbookgasm 😄 and the images! 😂 @Cathythoughts I‘ll most probably read that book this month. 🤞 2mo

saresmoore @Cathythoughts @erzascarletbookgasm I just put This House is Haunted on hold at the library! 2mo

ValerieAndBooks Do we ever get to read all the books we want to read in any given month 😂?? 2mo

Tanisha_A Just so apt! 😆 1mo

batsy @Cathythoughts The His Dark Materials series is beautiful, Cathy! But I read it so long ago and need a refresher before the new books :) Victober started out on BookTube ... Fun idea for sure 🥳 📚📚 1mo

batsy @saresmoore @erzascarletbookgasm @Tanisha_A Those images just speak to my soul when it comes to deciding what the heck to read from my infinite TBR 😅 1mo

batsy @ValerieAndBooks True! 😆 Usually I'm not too fussed about planning my reads for the month but October always rolls around with so many fun challenges and I'm always like yes this this and yes THIS TOO 😂👻📚 1mo

GingerAntics Isn‘t that how it always works out? lol I gave up making plans a long time ago. lol 1mo

batsy @GingerAntics Yup, par for the course where I'm concerned 😂 1mo

GingerAntics I do so well with plans for other things, but with reading they seem to hinder more than anything else. 1mo

LeahBergen What the hell is that thing? 😂😂 1mo

youneverarrived 😂😂😂 1mo

saresmoore Also, what @LeahBergen said! What IS it? 1mo

Redwritinghood @saresmoore @LeahBergen I tried to look it up and I think it‘s a cat, but take it from me - don‘t do a Google search unless you‘re prepared to see even creepier stuff. 😱😱 1mo

batsy @LeahBergen @saresmoore 😂😂😂 This originated on twitter I think and it's good that they have a place to describe where memes come from https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/persian-cat-room-guardian?full=1 @Redwritinghood I used to think it was a monkey 🙈 1mo

Liz_M For Tempest retellings, I recommend Indigo by Marina Warner. 1mo

batsy @Liz_M Thank you! That was one of the books I was interested in. I've read her essays and one of her nonfic books and really enjoyed them. 1mo

sprainedbrain This post is hilarious. You win Litsy today! 😂😂😂 1mo

Centique Yeeessssh that thing is freaky! 😂 I‘m reading The Subtle Knife to my son at the moment, we‘re loving it - my first time reading the series too 😍 I feel your pain about wanting to read All The Things! 1mo

batsy @sprainedbrain thank you! 😂😂 1mo

batsy @Centique The eternal pain of the bookish! ❤️ I'm glad you're enjoying The Subtle Knife with your son! When I read it I just remember being transported, and utterly enchanted... I'm craving that feeling again. 1mo

GatheringBooks currently arranging my bookshelves and keep setting aside books i want to read nownownow until they are enough to fill that shelf. 😱🤷🏽‍♀️ 1mo

batsy @GatheringBooks I feel that! 😆 Good luck with setting up your new home library! 1mo

Graywacke Come on, you have all month. Think of the possibilities! 😂 Reader optimism! 1mo

Graywacke That knowyourmeme page is terrific. !! 1mo

batsy @Graywacke 😂😂 Reader optimism is how I got into this pickle!! Yes, that page is great. I'm officially of the age where I need explainer for memes 👵🏽 1mo

Graywacke @batsy I think I‘m past that age... 1mo

readordierachel This collage is everything 😆 1mo

rubyslippersreads Whatever that thing is, it perfectly captures the feeling of not being able to stick to a reading plan! 😹 I haven‘t even read La Belle Sauvage yet, so I can‘t even think about

The Secret Commonwealth: The Book of Dust Volume Two

1mo

batsy @readordierachel 😼😸 1mo

batsy @rubyslippersreads I haven't read La Belle Sauvage either. I remember buying it when it was released (two years ago I think?) and posting about it here, saying I was going to attempt to read it then 🤣 1mo

britt_brooke 🤣🤣 1mo

Lindy ... 😳that is a scary white creature, perfect for October‘s spooky atmosphere. I‘m not familiar with the Persian cat room guardian meme and I am definitely NOT going googling. I don‘t want nightmares. 1mo

batsy @britt_brooke 😆 1mo

batsy @Lindy 😼😸 1mo

Lady Audley's Secret | Mrs. M. E. Braddon Maxwell

Kicking off #Victober with a classic I haven't read before: Lady Audley's Secret. Along with a cozy blanket and furry companion, I'm getting into the Autumn vibes as well. 🍁 🍂
Who else is participating in #Victober and what are you reading?

#Victober #Victorianlit #classics #read #books #bibliophile #Octoberreads #ladyaudleyssecret #reading #fallvibes

KarmonR I am going to use #victober as a motivator to revisit some Victorian poetry and perhaps an essay or two from the period. 2mo

julieloverofbooks Currently reading David Copperfield and loving it! 1mo

Stellina @julieloverofbooks Ohhhh, I'll have to add that one to my list! Thanks for the recommendation. 1mo

Stellina @KarmonR Sounds like a great plan! I've never participated before but I'm loving it. 1mo

Dr. Thorne | Anthony Trollope

pick

My first finish for #Victober! This is the third of Anthony Trollope‘s Barchester series, and so far it‘s my favorite! Trollope tackles a lot of social and political issues, all with a sene of humor. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

DivineDiana Look at that cover! Swoon! 13mo

SharonGoforth @DivineDiana Yes! Love it 💕💕 13mo

Rhys Lewis - Daniel Owen: The Autobiography of the Minster of Bethel | Robert Lomas, Daniel Owen

For the avoidance of doubt, this Welsh novel was written by Daniel Owen, published in 1885, and the modern translation into English was done by Robert Lomas. I‘m finding it really charming so far!
