BandofTrollopes

Doctor Thorne (Revised) | Anthony Ed Trollope

#12booksof2023 May saw the reunion of the #BandofTrollopes with a loose buddy read of the third book in the Barchester series. The language takes a minute to get used to, but then it is a joy to sink into these gentle comedies.

#Trollopeing #BandOfTrollopes what a joy to spend time with these characters!Dr.Thorne & Mary are such generally good sorts,while most of the others are obsessed with inheritance, land,titles,money, & appearances.Poor Frank! If I were playing a drinking game & took a drink every time he was told “You must marry money”,I‘d be in the same condition as Louis Scatcherd!And no, I still haven‘t found vol.2 of my old edition of this book!🙄

Phineas Finn | Anthony Ed Trollope

#justcuz #Trollopeing #BandofTrollopes This is from the Palliser series , our group is reading the Barsetshire series , but so cute I wanted to share this Oxford World‘s Classics Edition from the early sixties.
Been in the stash for awhile, need to finish the other series first! Next to a Galaxy 23 just for size, I miss my iPhone. Actually doing this post on it . It has no phone number now, still a mini computer! 😁

batsy It's a lovely edition 😍 1y

LeahBergen I‘ve always liked these little Oxford editions! They were some of the first editions I bought when I started buying “classics” in my teens and early twenties. 🥰 1y

Leftcoastzen @LeahBergen they do have a certain something about them ! 1y

Leftcoastzen @batsy thanks a! Little cute hardcover book. 1y

Loved my time spent with the good Doctor, Mary, and all the assorted Greshams, Scatcherds, and other characters here. Trollope is just such a joy to read, and I'm so tempted to dive right into another, although I won't for many reasons. Probably 😉

#trollopeing #bandoftrollopes

Ruthiella I know what you mean. Despite my enthusiasm, it took me six years to read the Barsetshire Chronicles and four to read the Palliser series. 1y

LeslieO Love that cover. 1y

Leftcoastzen Yay! You finished! I misplaced my old 2nd half real book around the house , reading borrowed from Hoopla . Just finished chapter 28 , enjoying it very much! 1y

Tamra So many great reviews! 1y

batsy I hear you! I've enjoyed the Trollopes we've read so far but it's hard to imagine diving into another right after 😁 Our languid #Trollopeing pace seems to work, lol. Love that cover. 1y

CarolynM Glad you enjoyed. I‘m hoping to get back to it soon. And, yes, @batsy our languid pace seems right to me🙂 (edited) 1y

Hooked_on_books I‘m with @LeslieO on that cover! 1y

quietjenn @Ruthiella One nice thing about taking him so slowly is that with every book I'm delighted to be reminded about how great his writing is and how much I enjoy it. 1y

quietjenn @Hooked_on_books @LeslieO I just couldn't resist buying the series in this edition, as they are all so striking (and I do love a matching but not matchy set). 1y

quietjenn @Leftcoastzen Glad you found another option and that you are enjoying it! 1y

quietjenn @batsy definitely feeling the need to change things up a bit, although I've not quite settled on how, which has meant dipping into a little of everything until something hooks. 1y

quietjenn @CarolynM @batsy “languid“ is a great word for Trollope, I think. 1y

LeahBergen Happy Birthday, my friend! ❤️📚❤️📚 1y

quietjenn @LeahBergen thank you so much, Leah! 1y

Loved being back in Trollope's world. Time slows down & you're fully immersed in a Victorian world of inheritance, property, desire, money, & marriage with Trollope frequently breaking the fourth wall. His verbosity is part of his style, which I enjoy. I thought Frank's "flirtation" with Miss Dunstable very un-Victorian & modern, & Miss Dunstable herself a truly memorable character. Plan to watch the 2016 series! #Trollopeing #BandofTrollopes

zezeki So glad you liked it! I'm about half way through, and I also really liked Miss Dunstable's character! I'm really curious to see how everything will resolve! 1y

zezeki Also, this cover is gorgeous! 😍 1y

batsy @zezeki The Vintage editions are nice ❤️ Unfortunately I didn't order the whole series before Book Depository closed and it's hard finding Trollope elsewhere! I thought the book resolved very satisfactorily. I hope you enjoy it till the end 🙂 1y

quietjenn Miss Dunstable is wonderful! I'm taking a few days off of work and hoping to devote some time to #trolloping 😃 1y

Cathythoughts What a gorgeous book 💫 1y

Ruthiella Miss Dunstable was my favorite character in this novel. So awesome! 👍 1y

Tamra Sounds like I need to get to the one. And yes, gorgeous cover! 1y

batsy @quietjenn Lovely! Enjoy your reading time. Trollope is perfect for when there's lots of reading time 🙂 1y

batsy @Cathythoughts They did well with the design. The Oxford editions are so pretty, too ❤️ 1y

batsy @Ruthiella Yes, she was so unexpected and refreshing! And dare I say feminist, for that particular time. 1y

batsy @Tamra It's a good one 😁 1y

JenDR I love Trollope‘s Pallisers series. I have this one on my TBR pile for the next time I am in the mood to visit Trollope‘s universe. 1y

CarolynM Lovely review. Glad you enjoyed. I was loving it, but dropped it when life went sideways. Hoping to get back to it soon🙂 1y

batsy @JenDR Ooh, nice! I've heard so many good things about the Palliser series. 1y

batsy @CarolynM Thank you, Carolyn! I hope the situation is a bit better for you and your parents at the moment. Enjoy the rest of the book ❤️ 1y

Rissreads That cover is divine! 💛 1y

Rissreads Is this a stand alone novel or part of a series? 1y

batsy @Rissreads It's part of the Barchester Chronicles, but it works as a standalone. The books aren't sequels, it's just that there's characters from previous books popping up here and there 🙂 1y

CarolynM Thanks Suba, things have settled down but there‘s a lot to do in the next few months. 1y

Leftcoastzen Love your review! You hit all the high points! 😄 1y

batsy @Leftcoastzen Thank you 😁 1y

AllDebooks Love your review, stacked. That is one beautiful cover 😍 1y
