  1. Well done!

    That's a lot of Trollope (comparatively)! As you know I also read The Way We Live Now for the same category in the challenge. I also read Phineas Finn for my own pleasure. I'm toying with reading The Prime Minister in 2019 still so I can get done with the Palliser series and jump into his stand-alones. :D

  2. Wow! Doubling down on the challenge. Even if some were short that's impressive. I'm only halfway through one set.
