Margaret Denzil’s History sounds amazing!

[@royreadsanything]

@katiejlumsden I'm 50% through and hooked - admittedly it's a bit uneven and it got some terrible reviews at the time, but it's interesting to read a non-classic sensation novel

[@MsPixieD]

So many cool books! The Cornhill volume is gorgeous, love that bumpy spine. Love your hat too!

[@royreadsanything]

Thanks - I have a few Cornhills now, all with different spines - amazing that they're 160 years old

[@clarepotter7584]

An interesting selection, enjoy!

[@royreadsanything]

@@clarepotter7584 Thanks!

How wonderful! Love hearing Jennie in the background. I don't know why but I instantly cheer up when I hear her voice. George Bernard Shaw is a good choice, I think I might go with a dramatization audiobook of an oscar wilde play to get the vibes of a play live...I still have to decide...lately I've been enjoying some dramatized lovecraft adaptations and they're so much fun

[@royreadsanything]

@@InfiniteText Dramatised Lovecraft sounds good

[@katehowereads]

This was my first video to see from you and you are a delight to watch! So cool to see the lesser known Victorian Lit you are planning on reading. I hope it's a lovely reading month for you!

[@royreadsanything]

@@katehowereads Thanks! I'm sure it will be a fabulous month!

[@stuartgriffin1001]

Sounds like you will have an interesting and busy October

[@royreadsanything]

@@stuartgriffin1001 Let's hope so

[@zombieprincess82]

Sounds like you have an interesting reading month ahead. Great TBR, it's lovely to hear about some authors i'm unfamiliar with. Happy reading!

[@royreadsanything]

@@zombieprincess82 Yep, should be fun

[@scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

I love your copies of the bound editions of Cornhill Magazine and other periodicals. It brings the period to life. I must read some of LT Meade's output that is not girl's school stories.

[@royreadsanything]

@scallydandlingaboutthebook2711 I'll let you know how the non-school Meades go. With a bit of luck I'll have all of _Armadale_ in Cornhill form - I'll put the illustrations online at some point when I do a video

[@scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

@@royreadsanything that would be lovely.

[@josmith5992]

I always love the old editions of books you’ve collected Roy, those Cornhills are fantastic! I found free editions of Cecilia de Noël and Margaret Denzill’s History online so am really interested what you think of them. Also really looking forward to The Doctor’s Wife, M.E.B is becoming a favorite author of mine.

[@royreadsanything]

@josmith5992 Braddon is great and I am optimistic about the others - hope you have a great Victober!

[@groovypoptartwashere]

Last week I read a 1912 short crime story by Arthur B. Reeve called The Black Hand. Not Victorian but with all the other colors you have in your TBR I thought I'd mention it. 😆

[@royreadsanything]

@groovypoptartwashere Oh, is that a Craig Kennedy story? I've never read him and will be glad to induct him into the Order of the Hand ✋️

[@groovypoptartwashere]

@@royreadsanything Yes, it is a Craig Kennedy story. I rather enjoyed it.

[@duanespurlock5879]

Interesting info about the fill-in novel to address the Gout Gap! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like an interesting narrative with possibly one, possibly two unreliable narrators. My Victober TBR so far includes "The Great God Pan" by Machen. Not sure yet on a specific occult detective crossover. And I'm on the verge of selecting a Wilkie Collins book.

[@royreadsanything]

@@duanespurlock5879 _Armadale_ has started well

[@booksoffthebeatenpath]

Ok, watch out! I’m on the hunt for Cecilia De Noel! You will know it’s me if you can’t find it 😂

[@royreadsanything]

@@booksoffthebeatenpath 😂 It helps if you sing 'Cecilia' by Simon and Garfunkel while you search

[@GenreBooks23]

Victober? I’m still stuck in the Elizabethan era… best get the thinking cap on. Some great choices here!
