big book fear
Following on from my September post, wherein I discussed reading a Victorian novel, so as to participate in BookTube's Victober event, I wanted to post this update and confirm that I chose to read Doctor Thorne (1858) by Anthony Trollope in October. Doctor Thorne is Book three in The Chronicles of Barsetshire, a series of six novels, by Trollope, set in and around the fictional town of Barchester, in the fictional county of Barsetshire. I should mention here that you will also find this series of books referred to as The Barsetshire Chronicles, and also The Barchester Chronicles, but they are all one (or six) and the same thing. The novels do not focus on the same characters in each novel, but characters from previous books can wander into, and out of, other of the stories, since they all live in the same vicinity. I like this aspect of the books. Doctor Thorne isn't the first novel I have read in this series. I also read the first book, The Warden (1855) so year...
