I'm really excited to bring this event back to life. The event I hosted a few summers ago was a roaring success and gave me the opportunity to not only read a lot of great Victorian literature, it also allowed me the opportunity to find a lot of new bookish blogs to take up all of my attention over the summer.
Here's how this works...over the next two months, read as much or as little Victorian literature as you would like. When you write a post, return here and link it on the Mister Linky so other participants can visit and comment. At the end of the Celebration, I'm giving away a few prizes randomly selected from the linked posts.
Sound amazing? I hope so!
If you're tweeting about the event, please use the following: #VictorianCelebration I'm also planning a random giveaway for tweets about the event as well!
As for my own reading, I'm planning on diving into some Charles Dickens over the next two months, as well as revisiting some George Eliot and the Brontes. Let me know what you're planning on reading below!
Happy reading!

I haven't totally thought of my plans, but Thomas Hardy and Anthony Trollope are on the list for sure!
ReplyDeleteHow to choose? I think I need to read some Thomas Hardy this year. . . maybe George Gissing or Wilkie Collins this summer -- I need to cross them off my Classics Club list! I might also read some Victorian nonfiction, I also have Trollope's Autobiography and Dickens' Pictures From Italy and Sketches by Boz. I'm looking forward to the Victorians as always!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it had started already -- I just posted a review of Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, so I'm adding a link.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on a Bronte, but hope to squeeze in a Gaskell if I have time. Thanks for hosting :-)
ReplyDeleteI have no plans, I'm going to grab whatever seems good at the time off of my ridiculously large stack. I also have thirteen volumes of Thackeray my father in law just gave me and absolutely no idea where to start since I've read Vanity Fair already!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely planning to try again with Henry James (starting with a novella so it's not such a commitment) and also reading some Louisa May Alcott (not British, but the right time period). I'm also thinking of tackling Jude the Obscure, one Hardy that I've never read, or maybe rereading The Return of the Native. Thanks for this great event!
ReplyDeleteI've added my review for Far From the Madding Crowd -- I loved it!
ReplyDeleteA bit of a slow start but I have finished The yellow wall-paper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, just added the link, thanks for hosting this.
ReplyDeleteI added a link to my experience with Far From the Madding Crowd. Wondering which Hardy to read next...
