Phew. A round of applause for Katie, if you please.

[scallydandlingaboutthebooks]

This has been a tour de force. Thank you.

[Praire]

Katie, I could watch you talking about Anthony Trollope all day.😀 He is my comfort author. He changed my reading life in such a wonderful way. He will always hold the most special place in my heart. Thank you so much for these fantastic videos on Victorian authors. You have introduced me to so many authors whose books I am so excited to read. 😊

[Discerningthetruth]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series. I have picked up a few new authors that I very much look forward to reading. Thanks so much!

[MarcelaChandía]

Thank you so much for all the effort required to make this series possible. What a great reference will be from now on!

[susanp]

Thank you so much for this series, Katie! Now I have *even more* great authors to look for!

[theresas]

These are some of my most favorite video series and I really appreciate you spending so much time doing them. I didn't get them all done last year so just finished. Found so many new ones to try.

[frerecinq]

Thanks Katie. This series must have been a lot of work for you, but it is great. Quite tempted to set myself the goal of reading something by every author mentioned.

[HaphazardHomestead]

What a great video series! I can't imagine all those Victorian stories all rambling around in your memory! In this batch, I think I've read some HG Wells science fiction decades ago, but I don't really remember them. And I've heard of the book Dracula. Your series really does inspire me to read Victorian books. And it was satisfying to find out that I have read some Victorian books this past year, but I didn't think of them that way. I am working my way through some Joseph Conrad, but I'll be using your series as a reference for expanding out through other authors.

[badfaithu]

Thank you for doing this Victorian authors series.

[mybelle]

This has been exhaustively well done. Thank you so much for this wonderful series!

[mikesnyder]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Love this series and I learned so very, very much about Victorian literature. I was an English major back in the day and this was such a treat to hear about all the great novels I was unable to read at the time. The only author whose works I devoured was Charles Dickens, the inimitable one!!!

[BookishLorrie]

Katie, this series was amazing. 🤩 Thank you. 😊

[amandalavelle]

Thank you so much for this series Katie- I’ve really enjoyed it and appreciate the amount of time and effort it must have taken you. I’ve been out and bought myself a little notebook and I’m going to start keeping a log (I’m old school and a spread sheet isn’t the one for me 😂) It’ll be interesting to see how many I have read xx

[irinanka]

That was awesome! 🥳 Thank you very much, Katie!

[neusvillegasalba]

I've enjoyed this series very much! Thank you!

[kevinmonceaux]

At the beginning of the series, I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch so many videos about so many authors. But, it didn't take long before I was hooked and couldn't stop watching. I guess the best way to put it would be to say that I found the series really really interesting. 🙂 The amount of work that went into this series is amazing. I see you mentioned your novels as another way to support your channel. I bought The Secrets of Hartwood Hall last year, and ordered The Trouble With Mrs. Montgomery Hurst a few days ago. I'm looking forward to future videos, and future novels.

[colorswordsandlearning]

This series, alongwith your other series are a good resource to know more about Victorian Authors, Books, Themes, Trollope and Dickens and more .


Such a work of love, Katie .

Thank you for all the work and research you do .

[kompas]

Katie, this is amazing! So much research! You rock!

[JamesHedgehog-]

Thank you! A wonderfully entertaining and educational series
