WELCOME

Hello all lovers of Victorian Popular Fiction, Gothic novels, and books in general!

This is my first post...welcome. I hope you'll become a follower, so we can read and talk about Victorian fiction together. Leave a comment and let me know what you're reading or just say "hello".

In the left-hand column you will find what I'm reading or have recently finished. Reviews will follow.

So let's dig out all those old goodies -- those books we read in high school; the dusty books we found in used book and antique stores, and the books our grandparents gave us.

Happy reading!

    I love it! I am an avid reader. I can't get enough of the literature. It's only way I can travel in time, space, and to new lands. I just love it!!

    This site will really compliment your reading journey. You could spend the rest of your life reading literature and literature about literature from the Victorian era and never run out! It will be enlightening to follow this.

    Linda- You are so right! The more I get into it, the more I find to read. The audience for popular fiction was enormous in the 1860s and 1870s. They had become a "novel reading people" said Trollope. One author alone could have written over 100 stories! This blog will certainly be a work of love.
