What a great list of possibilities, Gavin! Wuthering Heights is one of my all-time favorite novels. The MacDonald books look delightful! I know you are going to have a great month!
That's an amazing TBR, good luck :D I am loving these George MacDonald's covers! I've read Princess and the Goblin and the sequel, quite fun although I remember the second one was much less enjoyable - it was fun to see what Tolkien took from this! :) Yes to Victorian recommendations of less known works! PS there is also Nonfiction November next ;D
Ha! I might dip my toe in NonFiction November, but I shan't be going "all in": since May it has been Horror, Westerns, SF, Garbage, Shakespeare and now the Victorians - I'm going to need a little recuperation!
Brilliant selection. Love Victober and Occult Detective October. But I’ve also got to read some more of the books I’ve purchased this year. Thankfully some of them tie in with the events 😊
Shakespeare on the mind. I didn't participate, but I understand how that goes and then refocusing on other topics and books for a new month. (nodding) yes! I need to finish books I've started (the ones with the bookmarks in them,) and finish them off before the new year. One of them is Churchill. I didn't even think about adding him for Victober. I was going to add him for Historathon's finish it off in Nov/Dec. I look forward to hearing your reviews on your books. I'd onlyl heard of a few you mentioned. And you have a daughter?
What do you think, overly ambitious again? Will I ever learn?
Yes and No.
Enjoy your Victober reading... 👻 Evenor has a great cover.
Thanks, looking forward to cramming in as much as I can..
Plenty there and a wide range Gavin. Hope you enjoy them all. Best wishes.
Thanks, hope I get time to get to all of it!

Thanks! Have half a plan for something Brontë based…
Your Macdonald books are so beautiful! I hope you get to read some of them. Good luck. We do this then to avoid chagrin.
Fingers crossed, thanks!

Yep, doubling up is the way to go :)
Interesting picks! Hope you enjoy them.
Cheers! It’s a full slate, hope I have time..
Love that Macdonald copy, I've not heard of him. I'll be hitting Gutenberg hard this month so look forward to your picks on there.
I’d best finish my list!

Yep - 2 kids, one studying literature (but very little of the stuff I read)!
