#20in4 readathon @Andrew65
It has been an absolute crazy week with my 16 year old anxiously waiting on her exam results. Yesterday was manic, sorting out her college placement. Now for a calm and peaceful weekend please. 😌
I'm aiming for 20 hours reading the tagged, SQPR and Salman Rushdie's essay collection, Languages of truth for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville
I'm hoping to finish all 3 before the end of the month.

I'm struggling to finish Trollope, so I'm going to shelve plans to read Frederick Douglas, for now. I've just got a physical copy of tagged, so this will be the month to finish it 😅
📣 September will be back on schedule with Jeckyll & Hyde.
All welcome to join in. Please do let me know if you wish to be added/removed from the taglist.

I've struggled to commit time to Trollope this month, so I will extend it into August.
Anyone want to join in with Thomas Hardy for July's read? All welcome.

I'm really looking forward to tackling Anthony Trollope's Palliser series, starting with Can you forgive her?
All welcome to join in. This is a #chunkster so I'm happy to continue until we finish, however long it takes. Hopefully, not as long as The count of Monte Cristo 🫣😍

Self Isolating has me trying out new hobbies. Apparently even my new hobbies are related to reading.
But men and women, when they show themselves at their best, seldom do so without an effort. If the object be near the heart the effort will be pleasant to him who makes it, and if it be made well, it will be hidden.
I need to get back to this series. Trollope is so very funny! #soup #quotsynov18 @TK-421
pickI finally started reading Trollope and finished the first of the Palliser novels.
Alice Vavasor is not your traditional 19th century upperclass woman. Her disobedience is a central theme in this book that despite its setting reads as a contemporary novel. Trollope's account of a society in which money, breeding and influence are the primary routes into power is pretty familiar. The mixture of satire and romance makes the book a real pageturner.
“Knowing you as I thought I did, I could not understand your loving such a man as him. It was as though one who had lived on brandy should take himself suddenly to a milk diet, - and enjoy the change!”
In my current read George thinks of Alice as his #MyLoveMyLife and tries to win her back in a hilarious way 😂!

pickI really liked this book! It was a little slow to start but once I got started I just jumped in and loved it! I could wait to find out what happened with all the characters! There were a few phrases in here that made me cringe (being published in 1865) but over all I loved it!
I‘m only 20% into this book but so far it definitely seems like Alice Vavasor has a very #fickleheart #adelesmaymashup
I‘m back!!!! I‘m sorry I‘ve been gone.... I‘ve been dealing with some personal things. But I‘m sooo ready to be back at Litsy! So here is my first post in well over a month!!
I‘m a hundred pages into this and I‘m liking it so much more than I thought! This is my first Trollope and I‘m really glad it‘s going well! Do you guys have have a favorite Trollope???
pickWho knew Trollope had such a sense of humor?! Certainly not me 😬 Really enjoyed this classic and th me readalong with #SteveDonoghue.

I‘d been giving George Vavasor the benefit of the doubt up till now, and I still don‘t know if he‘s actually going to send this letter to his ex-girlfriend/cousin, Alice, but the fact that he wrote it shows he is a complete and utter jerk.
So stoked to be beginning a read-along of this hosted by Steve Donoghue over at BookTube! i‘m doing my infamous audio-text combo, and the audiobook, narrated by David Shaw Parker, is to-die-for!
#QuoteOfTheDay
pickFinished todayband really enjoyed it. I read all of Trollope's Barchester books last year and loved them. If you enjoy Victorian era authors and have never read Trollope I greatly recommend him.

Day 11 of #riotgrams is #punctuation. I did it, I found one! What a pain in the ass.
pickAlice Vavasor has everything going for her on the marriage market, except that she is deeply ambivalent about marriage. Trying to balance Self and Society, she jilts first one man, then another — has she ruined her life, or can you forgive her? Wonderful characters, braided plot lines, charming commentary: a satisfying world to be immersed in.
But oh my word, as a woman it makes me so grateful to be living in the 21st century!!!
pickCould not stop reading! Vintage Trollope: wise, wry, engrossing. Loved it!
Two #1stinseries novels that I love, although the Atwood is more of a trilogy than a series. #sizzlinsummerbooks @Tiffy_Reads
Anthony Trollope got up at 5:30 every morning to write 3,000 words before going to his job at the post office. #workaholics #jubilantjuly. P.S. I don't own this pretty copy, but it's very tempting. 😄
It is a comfortless unsatisfying trade, that of living upon other people's money.
