Fantastic recommendations! I laughed when you recommended Trollope for my happy endings no matter how silly. Between every book I read, I reread Trollope so I can safely say now that I'm in my bookish happy place. These are just such great prompts and amazing suggestions - thank you!!
Trollope is just the best - I feel like I can always trust his plots!
Thank you for introducing me to some books I wasn't aware of! My TBR list has grown substantially!
Watching this video of your recommendations of Victorian literature was wonderfully entertaining! The familiarity you have of this genre is massive, and you communicate well the reasons for the selections you chose-love it-thanks Katie!
Thanks, Larry!
I agree with your stance on Wuthering Heights so much. It's the most beautifully written Victorian book by far. I have never written so many notes so fast in my life. That was A LOT! Wonderful video Katie
I'm re-reading Wuthering Heights right now. A perfect autumn book. I last read it almost three years ago. The prose is really beautiful. Emily was probably the best stylist of the three sisters. Being a poet helps.
I so enjoy your enthusiasm and knowledge. Thanks for making videos!
Excellent video Katie! I appreciate those that asked for the interesting reading prompts and your excellent recommendations. I will be adding many of your suggestions to my collection of victorian books.
Wonderful! Very fun to see what joys I have in store as I make my way through some of your recommendations.
What a great video!! So many recs! Thank you!
I just wanted to say thank you for this and all your videos. Your knowledge and enthusiasm for literature is inspiring. Can’t wait to read your book soon!
Thanks :)
Thanks for all the recommendations Katie! I recently read Carmila and really enjoyed it.
Excellent recommendations! Thanks for talking about the crime/thriller elements. I know these are good because I’ve read and loved Bleak House, The Moonstone and Sherlock Holmes. I will definitely try Uncle Silas and the Thomas Hardy. I don’t think I had heard of that one! I read J Sheridan Le Fanu’s Wylder’s Hand last year and it’s definitely a crime/mysterious book. I love that you have recommended something for everyone single prompt here. I also would highly recommend David Copperfield and Betsy Trotwood as an excellent character- Dickens’ characters are so great! Thank you, Katie. 😊📚
I really liked this video! Thanks Katie.😊
Thank you for your recommendations!
Although my tbr is pretty filled up by this point, I added many of these to future (and next Victober) tbrs, and I will for sure be watching this video again in future because the recommendation prompts are so great! Though, despite what I did just say about my tbr, lol, I did add in Around the World in 80 Days (for a different reading challenge) purely because you're so enthusiastic about it. Thanks so much for all your thoughtful reviews and videos!
Great recommendations- thank you!
I was so excited for the comparative books and I hope to read them together and compare ❤️
Such a great video and my wish list has grown a lot! I’m very interested in Margaret Oliphant and Hester. There are some BBC radio plays of her books as well - interesting! Thanks for all these marvellous recommendations, Katie!
Super . I plan to read several of the books mentioned. Thanks
I don't know why but this time of year always makes me want to read Victorian literature! Have flown through Haunting of Hill House, Poe short stories and now reading Frankenstein for this first time! Love your videos, keep it up!
Wow!! Awesome!!! You are amazing!!!❤
I love all of these, so many books added to my list
What an amazing video! I'd recommend North and South for a novel with a happy ending. It happens a lot in the novel but the ending made me happy.
I love that one so much :)
I’ve just read Uncle Silas and it’s been my best surprise so far in Victober- I wasn’t expecting to like it as much as I did. I also watched the black and white 1940’s film which I found here on this platform and I enjoyed that also! I think he’s becoming a favourite author of mine- I love reading him at this time of the year xx
It's so great, isn't it! I haven't heard of the film so will have to look it up :)
I'm probably going to start recommending this video to all Victorian Newbies 😁
I'm currently listening to The Pickwick Papers for the Mega Dickens Readalong and you're right, it's quite reminiscent of Diary of a Nobody, I wish there were more Victorian books like them 😞
I think there are probably quite a few of those kind of comic novels that just aren't known as much these days. I'll have to do a bit of research and see what more I can find!
Great video! I didn't love the ending of Small House at Allington. I am looking forward to the last of the series to see how everything wraps up 😀
The ending of The Small House at Allington is one of the reasons I love it so much, to be honest! But appreciate it might not be for everyone :)
It was a 5 star read but was hoping for a different ending:)
Wait, Dracula is victorian?! I was unintentionally participating in Victober, yesss!
Yep!
that last question is so interesting !! makes me want to figure out what i'd pair together too, i havent yet read the romance of the shop but when i finally get to it i'll definitely read it w agnes grey in mind now ! i also wanna check out esther waters ... altho i hated ruth !
Esther Waters is very interesting - although I like Ruth more, I have to say!
@@katiejlumsden oh rly that's interesting.... am even more intriguied now to pick it up !
So, I went to wikipedia to look up Deerbrook by Harriet Martineau and found out that the young Victoria loved that book and so invited Harriet to her coronation in 1838.
Thank you for these recommendations!Also,hasn't The Pickwick Papers two rival newspapers?😁💝
For children Victorian books I recommend Black Beauty by Anne Sewell and The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald.
Lilith by George McDonald too.
According to very ancient Jewish tradition, Lilith refused to lie under Adam (the first created man) as that would show subservience. Adam chased her out of the garden and settled on a more compliant partner created as her replacement, Eve. But this not the end of Lilith in the continuing story of the Genesis.
Enjoying the videos! No Middlemarch ( it seems rather conspicuous by its absence... )?
I'm not a huge fan of Middlemarch myself, but I do often recommend it to others as I know I'm quite unusual in not loving it. I just didn't think of it in relation to any of the questions in this video!
Just one thing, I like your recomedations, but if you ask me which ones were the first 5 books you recomend I would say I only know Carmilla the rest I don't know it happened too fast. Please slow down when you talk it's way too fast and it's a bit difficult to catch all the info.
All the books mentioned are in the description box. Plus you can always slow down the playback.
You speak way to fast
You can slow videos in the settings if you like. I speed some people up and slow others down.
@@Jenny-io6pv If may, but it has nothing to do with my request.
