Victober10 wrap up 🧛🏻♀️🎊
Thank you to the wonderful hosts, amazing content creators and my fellow participants for another wonderful #Victober 🧡💛🎩🕯️📚
That’s the #Victober 2025 reading challenge complete!
Apart from Alice in Wonderland, I have not read any of the other works before. It was a lot of fun! I’ve read books that have been on my TBR for ages and discovered Margaret Oliphant.
The book I liked the most was Wives and Daughters!
So proud of my #Victober #reads! 📚😍

Um leque amarelo, uma garrafa, uma caneca, um caderno e uma caneta que permite colocar um telemóvel com o logotipo da Wikimedia Espana numa secretária com um postal da Wikidata e onde se vê parte de um computador portátil.
Uma caixa com várias caixas , uma caneta e um caderno com um cartão de visita da Wikimedia Espana
Vários livros da Elizabeth Gaskell ao lado de uma caneca com chá da Wikimedia Espana e perto de um vaso com uma planta
Fiz parte de um painel de avaliação do #WikiLovesEarth2025 e no fim recebi da @wikimedia.es.web.brid.gy esta surpresa. Usei logo a caneca para chá enquanto lia sobre Gaskell na Wikipedia España 😍

Half time! Time so sneak in some #victober reading! Just started A Tale of Two Cities, which I last read when I was maybe 14. Used to love this book; going to see if it holds up for me.
It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg – #books you can read right here, right now, no excuses 😍

Really enjoyed the group read, Hester by Margaret Oliphant. I liked how complex and flawed the characters were.
This completes two of the challenges: reading a work by an underrated Victorian female author and a work where a character experiences a change in class status.

I really enjoyed the #Victober read-a-long! I'm a little sad it's over.

RIP Anne Brontë. You would have loved The Odd Women by George Gissing.

I am falling behind quite a bit but I finally completed another challenge which was to read a Victorian work that discusses education. Loved rereading Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. It’s so whimsical, silly and fun! #Victober
Reading Lorna Doone for #victober, and it's all right, but sweet jesus does this man go on about the weather.

Just completed Tom Brown's Schooldays (in some ways frighteningly like my own, even with a gap of 130 years).

Penguin paperback of Dombey and Son, with mildly creased front cover.
Got a head start on #victober last month, so I've just finished my first read. I love how the cover of this copy looks almost as beat as my previous copy--which I lost last month a few days into rereading, and had originally bought 23 years ago 😆
Happy first day of #Victober to those who celebrate. I have picked a chunky book for the month
Left to Right: A Kindle with a dark blue cover and a sticker on its top right corner, a mug with tea in it, and a cucumber sandwich (at least a quick attempt at one 😂)
Happy #Victober Everyone 🫖🎩📖🕯️🍂
I swapped my usual breakfast for something slightly more fitting 😁 (Cake was also on the menu 🍰)
I hope everyone has a wonderful month full of great reads and cozy memories 🧡
Happy October 1st~
Here are the books I’m reading for #Victober! I will also be reading two other books for the challenge on my kobo.
He came to the rescue at this point, and said in a consolatory and complimentary voice, ‘Camilla, my dear, it is well known that your family feelings are gradually undermining you to the extent of making one of your legs shorter than the other.’
As it’s #Victober I’m reading Great Expectations, which deserves a Giallo film adaptation. Proper snort at the ‘sickest woman in the room’, who we’ve all definitely worked with at some point.
New Blog Post: Victober 2025 TBR!!!
The most wonderful time of the readerly year is upon us, and I've gone a little too crazy with my TBR. But who needs a life anyway, am I right?

Coisas boas: o #victober está aí não tarda 😍
Paperback copy of Lorna Doone by R.D. Blackmore
So excited!! Got my primary #victober read in the mail today. Could have just read it on ebook, but decided to treat myself:D
Começam os meses favoritos do ano😍, mas percebo quem não gosta, que sofro muito com os que estão agora a acabar.
Se ajudar: #SpinsterSeptember #Victober e em Novembro e Dezembro, policiais clássicos.
Óptimos também para crochet e malha com lãs.
