I'm looking forward to joining in although I'll be in Team Race! The Discord link has expired by the way.

That definitely wasn't a spoiler free review.

My kid was just assigned to read this book at school, 9th grade, and when I heard the author's name I thought it sounded so familiar. I've thought about it ever since. And listening to your summary brought back that Doctor who episode to my mind so quickly!!!

Such a great readathon 🎉

I knew it was Wargrave from the beginning

When I first read the book, I thought Mary should have had Mr. Collins. That way Longbourn would have stayed in the family.

Murder at the vigarige I read in the 1980s lol

Sounds fun!

I have a Christmas Agatha Christie I've been saving up! I may not get to any of the other prompts, but I'll definitely be reading that one!

This sounds like so much fun! I might try to do a couple of prompts at least.

I am very excited again,thanks for creating this one and asking me to join in 🎉🎉

I love As You Wish! Such a good book. Also, I haven't read the book Wicked, but I've heard it's different from the Broadway show. I hope you enjoy it!

I watched this years ago and I keep coming back to listen to it again because you just make it make sense!! I agree with your entire assessment! My husband always listened to it and really liked how you put it so well. Keep it up my friend!!

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Jane Eyre this time around!

I just created a new TBR game for my channel the TBR Bawl

I need to read String of Pearls! I love Penny Dreadfuls

I've got the same book... Victorian Ghost Stories... I picked it up too for Victober.. It will be interesting to see what you think... Happy Victober!

Love the Princess Bride! I read that biography of Marie Antoinette many years ago. Took me forever! 😂 I gave it 3 stars but i don't know why i didn't give it more.

I tried to read the Dragon Riders of Pern series as a kid. They were a bit over my head at that time. I still have them and plan on trying to read them at some point. I hope your reads go well.

Some great choices. I hope you enjoy what you choose to read. Best wishes!

I can say that I love Jane Eyre and Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, but all the others just feel like a slog. If you are considering listening to Jane, there is an excellent unabridged audiobook read by Juliet Stevenson. Good luck with your Victober picks!

Love this vid😊

I read The Time Machine this weekend as a palate cleanser after a big book. I liked it better than I did The Invisible Man. It is thought provoking. I am going to read The War of the Worlds for the serialized prompt. I too will be reading Jane Eyre for the religion prompt and some Sherlock Holmes for the Conan Doyle prompt. But first, I need to finish The Shining that I started on September 1. I made the mistake of trying to read it and David Copperfield at the same time. I didn’t realize that Dickens would beat out King for my interest by a landslide. I brushed it aside to focus on one book at a time.

So fun that you are reading a String of Pearls! I'm sure it will be a wild ride.

I share your issues about the Brontes.

That bind up of HG Wells is beautiful 😍

So fun that you're rereading The Hobbit!

Wagrave is suspicious early on, and Lombard rightly concludes he's the killer early on, too. We should have known as a reader to trust Lombard because he has the most worldly experience and doesn't show any sign of class deference.

I hope your reads go well. Have a great month.

I hope you enjoy Ka'iulani! I thought it was pretty good. Also, it's so funny because in my watch later playlist, right below this video is a video from JASNA Southwest on Jane Austen and Crime 😆 Kind of a crazy coincidence!

I think the kitchen with Paris is a great stretch! Very clever.

@15:52 - I'm also re-reading The Hobbit this month. This has become an annual September read for me, since it was first published September 21, 1937, and Hobbit Day (Bilbo & Frodo's Birthday) is September 22. Also, J.R.R. Tolkien passed away on September 2, 1973. I'll be following this up with LOTR#1 in October, LOTR#2 in November, and LOTR#3 in December.

I love that you managed to make what you wanted to read work with phase six! Good luck with 30 in 30.

Looking forward to hearing what you thought of these! Rachel Jeff's story sounds so harrowing!

I'll be interested to hear what you learn about Napoleon!

I enjoyed a lot of your reviews as KZbin played them consecutively while I was doing something. It’s extremely clear that the headache device was an extremely painful trigger for you. While acknowledging your pain I don’t feel you’re completely fair to Christie or the book. When I was a child it was discovered that I was allergic to milk; but I found out quickly that when I was away from my mom, I was completely on my own in protecting my digestive system. Once my stepmother made some hot chocolate or something made with milk and I was vomiting all night, and to this day I’m not sure if they ever believed my allergy to milk was real. But not all families are that uncaring or insensitive. There’s no way Christie could have known 100 years ago that her book would hurt you like that today. If you think of it, there’s probably people who can’t even read murder mysteries cuz it’s may be too triggering if they’ve had murders in their families. The whole genre is pretty insensitive in that aspect. I’m gay and Christie has an extremely flamboyantly effeminate character in The Mirror Cracked who works for the photographer and the description comes across as very anti-LGBTQ. But I’m still reading Christie with all her flaws. Sorry to dwell on this, and I do appreciate your reviews.

I just finished reading this section. It took me forever to get here haha. Enjoyed watching later. I have to say listening to the audio of the Washburn translation is really easy to listen to. I think it must be a better translation. The writing is good.

I mostly agree but when you hear about Charlotte "not being romantic" you should understand that it can be just her disappointment talking. She wanted to love and be loved and happy but it didn´t work and now she is OK to be a wife of a Very Stupid Man and I feel so sorry about her. Poor clever cunning Charlotte...

I was obsessed with the movie Matilda growing up. I finally read the book a couple of years ago and really enjoyed it as well. I hope you enjoy your reads. Have a great month.

❤❤Hi, how are you?, Your youtube video content is really good. but views and subscribers are much lower. To increase subscribers and views, you need to do channel SEO meaning your videos are not fully SEO. SEO is not friendly to your title. The SEO score is very low. The main reason why videos go viral is because of video SEO and organic promotion. If you do SEO and promotion then lots of views and subscribers will come to your channel and you will be able to monetize your channel in a few days. I can help you.❤❤or Book promotion service ❤❤❤❤

You are amazing! I feel accomplished that I've read like ten non-fiction so far this year.

You have some interesting and wide-ranging reading planned this month! Enjoy!

Some nice picks. Breaking Free has been on my TBR for ages. I really need to get to that.

I wonder if my son would like Bea Wolf. He read Beowulf for school in fifth grade and loved it.

I agree with you about the marriage. This was Charlottes only chance for a household of her own, and a real guarantee against starvation. Mr Collin’s wasn’t a wife beater, a gambler, or a spendthrift. He had a job, a home,a position in the community and was looking for someone to make his life comfortable. Charlotte was perfect. Mr. Collin’s was very much like Charlottes own father. I think it is interesting that in the four marriages that occur in the book, Lydia I falls for all romance and fairy tails, but absolutely no depth in the partner. Wicked is looking for a marriage that provides him with money. With Lydia, due to her connections, he gets all of his debts paid, gets an officer commission purchased, a home, her $1000 inheritance, and $100 per year, which was a pretty high annual salary for a family back then. Plus, Lydia is young, pretty, and fun and sees him as a god. She will overlook any transgression he makes. Jane wants someone “good” and “pleasing” in nature. Bingley is perfect for her. He never sees bad in people and they both are gentle and easy in one another’s company. Lizzie I needs someone she can esteem and someone who is her intellectual equal. And, she discovers that she can admire him. It’s also interesting that all three ladies are with men that believe they have found love. Wickem doesn’t say, but based on Lydia’s definition of love,, it is a love match. We also get to see Mr. and Mrs. Bennet as well as Charlottes parents, to a degree. So is correct in saying that people change, and it’s a roll of the dice. Marriages with older women and younger men was common. It just depended on the circumstances. If the women had a dowry or was a widow with money, or a connection. If a man needed someone to run a household, take care of wards or children from a previous marriage. If a man needed children, he would need someone of breeding age, but that wasn’t always the case. Somet8mes he needed someone who could kill, clean and cook a chicken, sew his clothing, and keep his home. Jane Austin’s own-proposal was from a man many years.

I'm not Canadian, but I also hope you guys don't have another term of Trudeau! "The reason I know of this book is Ever After." SAME! I feel like it's a book I SHOULD read but kind of don't want to. 😆 Benedict Arnold is definitely an interesting character. Kind of hard to know what to think about him sometimes, to be honest.

loved this video!! subscribed🥰

Sorry. Too old to follow the speed of the speaker. Seems to be very common today.

I considered Wargrave faked his death but felt forced to rule it out-- NOT because of Armstrong, but because his body was carried up the stairs without anyone noticing he was still alive. In this way the author did trick me, but not in a fair way that i would have considered believable
