Tims Too Many Books | Books I've Read for Every Year of Queen Victoria's Reign #victober @timstoomanybooks | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Based on a video from Katie from Books and Things @katiejlumsden I am atttempting an Unofficial Victober Side-Challenge by recommending a book that I have read for every year of Queen Victoria's reign
There are 3 years for which I haven't read a book so I pick books from those years to be my TBR.
The books are also not strictly Victorian (i.e. from Britain and Ireland) so I'm not quite getting Victober right again.
