I know there are still about 11 days left in October and #Victober but I think 2 novels, a play, a short story, and a poem are plenty for this year.
I am eager to start A Clash of Kings ( I will be reading a chapter a day just like with AGOT) and The Summer Dragon, as well as continue my nightly reading of Lord of the Necropolis.
I am excited to resume my regular reading schedule and not strictly stick to Victorian Lit until next year.
pickJust finished my first #Victober of the year and boy was this a depressing read. Tess is such a tragic character. You could say everyone is somewhat of a victim of Victorian society but she was really the one who suffered most. I hated Alec, he was despicable and got what was coming to him, but Angel was also a huge disappointment as a man, refusing to listen to Tess' struggles until the very end.
I'm not very far in my #victober read today but as the chapters go on Angel keeps getting on my nerves with his pressuring of Tess. This poor girl can't seem to catch a break
I am continuing on with my #Victober daily read. Nothing much has gone on or picked up since chapter 20 (read through 26-30 today) Thomas Hardy writes very winding paragraphs but nothing much is happening throughout them. I am still getting used to his writing style. I don't want to call the chapters boring, but they are not the most interesting.
Though Chapter 30 has picked up a bit, I wonder if this will end up in a disaster.
Read chapters 16-20 for #Victober I still feel very bad for Tess but things seem to somewhat be looking up for her, though I imagine it isn't for very long.
Starting off #Victober and I forgot how unpleasant this young man is
Tomorrow is #Victober and I can't wait to dive back into this.
I only have 6 chapters left! just in time for #Victober as well.
