A Victorian Reading Challenge

I've decided to do another reading challenge in ..; a Victorian one. I was inspired by this blog:href="http://worthwhilebooks.blogspot.com/../01/personal-victorian-challenge.html">

I'm glad to be doing this challenge as it will delve into my TBR stack. Out of the twelve books, I own ten of them. I've always loved this period in literature. And many beautiful movies have been made from the books; many of Thomas Hardy's, one of my favorites.

So here's the list:

1. Middlemarch-George Eliot

2. The Small House at Allington-Anthony Trollope

3. Tess of the D'urbervilles-Thomas Hardy

4. The Woman in White-Wilkie Collins

5. The Way of All Flesh-Samuel Butler

6. The Cloister and the Hearth-Charles Reade

7. The Soul of Man-Oscar Wilde

8. The Story of the Amulet-E. Nesbit

9. At the Back of the North Wind-George MacDonald

10. Lady Audley's Secret-M.E. Braddon

11. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde-Robert Louis Stevenson

12. Cranford-Elizabeth Gaskell

There are many more I could have added, but I really wanted to read what I already have.

Do you have a favorite Victorian author? Mine are Trollope, Hardy, and the Brontes. I didn't include the Brontes in my list, even though I own all their works, because I've read lots of their books and wanted to try new authors. I could have listed Charles Dickens also. I may have to read more than twelve this year or have another Victorian challenge next year!
