This was wonderful. I've been scouring TH-cam for several months, looking for other BookTubers who appreciate Victorian literature, but my searches turned up only a handful of the channels you feature here. Thanks! As for my recommendation...Although it's not my favorite Victorian book of all time (that's still "Jane Eyre"), this fall I've been enjoying a close reading of Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray," which I am featuring in a Victober-inspired series on my fledgling channel.
I hope you enjoy them all :) I'd also highly, highly recommend Amanda Center (th-cam.com/channels/WWMESM5FUg-Reb7uxBdkfw.html), Annie from Bloom TV (th-cam.com/channels/q8mFyC1Pq4brj2C8yiCEqQ.html), Lucy from Lucythreader (th-cam.com/channels/shc1VYtf4bI3Q7Ibi5J-Cg.html), and Reneta from Book Craving (th-cam.com/channels/74GUH8-ZbU3KcyPbG4viiQ.html), who weren't able to contribute but are brilliant booktubers on Victorian literature.
Between your 'talk' about the 101 Victorian novels you've read and this video my Victorian TBR is getting out of hand. However I would like to put my two cents in: The Twilight Stories by Rhoda Broughton. This is a collection of ghost stories that was first published as Tales for Christmas Eve. So perfect for this time of year.
Thank you so much for inviting me to participate in this project :) this video was an utter joy and I'm so pleased to listen to so much bookish enthusiasm and discover so many new channels :)
My TBR just about exploded... 😅 In all seriousness, I loved this! Thank you for coming up with this idea, Katie. Not only did it make me want to read tons of new classics, it also made me discover a few amazing Booktubers I hadn't been aware of before. 😊
Yaaaas! This was awesome! It made me so happy to see good ole Oscar on here! Thank you so much, Katie, for putting this together and reaching out to me! 😁
A ton of classics I haven't read, including some I haven't heard of - lord knows I'll have to get to them soon enough. This has been a most amazing month of all the Victorian things. Thanks to all involved for the recommendations.
I've really enjoyed finding this community on TH-cam. You all have been so great at getting me back into reading. Thank you all for the recommendations. :)
Love this! October got away from me, but I so loved being a part of Victober, although I was less vocal than I would have liked. Thank you for making this video!
An interesting month of videos I'v enjoyed, thanks Katie. Among other texts, my Victober reads were the Woman in White, and Washington Square. As it gets closer to Christmas, maybe you could discuss Dicken's Christmas ghost stories; as you know there are many of them.
This was beautifully put together Katie! It has reminded me of the Victorian novels I still really want to get to like Middlemarch, Silas Marner, and the Pickwick Papers 😄
I have started to read the classics in October and so far so good 😊 i have never been able to concentrate or even find the interest to read them, but that surprisingly changed last month. I'm almost halfway through The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë and i love it. I hope i'll finish it and get on with Wuthering Heights next. Fingers crossed. P/s: you are now my source of inspiration 😁💜 thank u!
The problem with 9 out of 10 of these is that they like novels mostly for how well it fits into the culture of critique rather than on what its artistic merits are or how captivating it is.
The Heathcliff comment made me laugh so much. This video is wonderful, thanks again
I know. Helene is spot on!

I really need to read some Rhoda Broughton - I'll add that to the list :)
Good to see George Eliot getting a lot of love! My favourite author along with Dostoevsky and Dickens.

What a fun video idea! A great selection of books and definitely a few new people for me to subscribe to.

Well, that takes care of that. I'll be reading classics for the rest of my life! (Contemporary lit and I haven't been getting along lately anyway)
Ha well I hope you enjoy them.

I do enjoy Dickens's Christmas works. I may read/reread a few around Christmas time.
Just found this WONDERFUL video, thanks so much for the great recommendations. I would love to see more of this type of video. Well done!
Thanks - I'll try and do one again in the future, though they are tough to put together.
So many books I haven't read yet. This was a great idea. Thank you.
Enjoy :)

Just added Villette, by Charlotte Bronte for Vicktober!

I dream of a world in which the word "misogyny" is never used unironically --- where it's only the punchline to a joke.
