Here is a version of the Five from Five Victorian Novels Tag which I was tagged in by Ros@scallydandlingaboutthebooks and Tilly@tillysshelf which they created from Marissa @BlatantlyBookish's video for Victober 2022. As well as giving my top 5 Victorian novels from the past 5 years, I talk through my experience with Victorian literature overall. Hope you enjoy!
I’m sorry about the darkness of the second half of the video – I got carried away and must remember in future that although I can see that doesn’t mean the camera can see!
