April: Reading Anthony Trollope

I'm looking forward to finishing Ayala's Angel, which I put on hold 6 months ago. Hopefully I will then tackle either The Prime Minister, The American Senator or Mr Scarborough's Family. So many choices!

I'm hoping to (as a fairly long-term goal) read the whole Chronicles of Barsetshire series. I'm up to book 2 (I *did* say long-term!), so would be happy if I read it, Barchester Towers, this month.

And I do also have The Way We Live Now on Mt TBR, which I'd also like to read.

I probably won't get to both!

The Chronicles of Barsetshire are among my favourite Trollope but I have read them already. And I'm struggling with The Pallisers series so am trying some of the lesser known, stand-alone novels from my TBR.

Looking forward to hearing what you make of Barchester Towers :)

I've never read anything by Trollope before, but I've heard good things about The Chronicles of Barsetshire, so I'm going to read The Warden.

I have been way too busy this year and things are only going to get worse! But I really want to participate in this month’s author read. I haven’t read anything by Anthony Trollope. Got two of Trollope’s Chronicles of Barsetshire books, Framley Parsonage and Barchester Towers, on my TBR list. I so want to read these two! Wish me luck!

I have An Eye for an Eye in paper format so might as well read it :)

I've got The Warden in my immediate TBR pile, but I've got three high priority books on top of it still, so I'm afraid that by the time I manage to crack it open, this month will be over.

But then again, this thread has also been fairly quiet. Has anybody started reading a book by Anthony Trollope this month?

I've got a category in my 11 in 11 challenge for Trollope - I'm aiming to read his Barsetshire series. I've just finished Framley Parsonage which is number four so only two more books to go. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series, Trollope is funny, insightful with a great range of characters that I love to hate (Mrs Proudie, Obadiah Slope).

Hmmm, no one mentioned Phineas Finn, an excellent book.

Dr. Thorne is on my list. Don't know if I'll make it this month though.

I didn't make it to any Trollope books in April. But we don't seem to have voted for a May (and June) author(s) as yet, so maybe we should just extend Trollope for another month...? It'd keep me happy. :)
