Fiz parte de um painel de avaliação do #WikiLovesEarth2025 e no fim recebi da #WikimediaEspana esta surpresa. Claro que usei logo a caneca com chá enquanto lia sobre a Elizabeth Gaskell na Wikipedia España 😍

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg

I’m reading through Anthony Trollope’s six volumes of the Chronicles of Barsetshire – you can check the links to the ebooks in my last year’s post here – and loving it, but for Victober I thought I would pick a more shorter, standalone book from the same author.

I came across The Fixed Period, which he wrote later in life and is considered a satirical dystopian novel. And this is so different from what he usually wrote that I got really curious and decided to pick it up. I’m still in the introduction, but I thought I would share the link to Project Gutenberg, where you can download the book. (No luck in finding it in a physical format, so thank you even more to Gutenberg volunteers!).

Also, although a satirical dystopian work, you may want to check your trigger content warnings.

The Fixed Period – Anthony Trollope can be downloaded here.

I really enjoyed the #Victober read-a-long! I'm a little sad it's over.

Hester

I just finished Hester: A Story of Contemporary Life (1883) by Margaret Oliphant. This was a read-a-long for Victober. We read two chapters a day all month (today we read three to finish up) and chatted about it online. It was great fun! I read the standard ebook, which featured a cover page adapted from Young Girl Seated (1896) by Thomas Dewing.

The third 2025 #BBB (#Books, #Beers and #Burgers) in #Lamego was a delicious success - measured by the fact that once again we were only able to take pictures of it after no clues regarding beers or burgers were left on the scene.

#Victober

The last #fridayreads of this #victober will be with #victorian #scifi - Flatland, from A. Square.

Going to chapter 33 of Doctor Thorne by #AnthonyTrollope for #Victober
It's so dark (and raining) that I need the light on (I usually use the ereader in these situations, but I'm loving reading Trollope in paper).
If you want the #BarsetshireChronicles list with links to the ebooks (they're in #PublicDomain❤️) I made a post at
