Congrats! And echoing Uncle Robin's thanks.

I finished my 11th book yesterday, so I have one to go.

Congratulations from me too. I have just started on my 12th book, as it's The Last Chronicle of Barset which staggers in at over 1200 pages on my iPad. So I thought I needed to start now to get it done in December with all the other things that will be happening then!

Thanks again astrangerhere - it was a great idea and good fun to match books in the TBR heap to the themes.

I have several favorite Trollopes and this was one of them. A lot of nuance and things not working out exactly as one would expect. A fantastic ending to a wonderful series (and so much better than Dr. Thorne!).

Having finished the two six-novel series (can one refer to them as hexalogies, or is that pretentious?) and having to range further afield, I find Trollope's novels to be much more hit-or-miss. None is terrible, but some are less than terrific. I've just started The Vicar of Bullhampton and so far, it's promising.

Yes, I'm certainly enjoying it. Great to have Mrs Proudie back being utterly odious!

I caved and finished my December book a couple of days early, to make room for this year's Dean Street December. Great fun and an enjoyable way to wrap a fascinating challenge. Looking forward to next year's!

Thanks so much for setting this up! Almost done with another entry. Not likely to get the last 2 done, but that's ok.

I managed to finish the 2023 challenge on January 1st. Not bad since I was so behind.\

But for some reason, Storygraph isn't marking December as complete, even though it recognizes that I have read my December book.

That might have to do with the designated end date for the challenge. If the challenge had an assigned end date, any books finished after that date won't be recorded as complete for the challenge.
