I'm challenging myself... though not by very much. Here it is, Austen in August from Roof Beam Reader. It's a month of Jane Austen. The challenge is to read as many of Austen's works and Austen-related work in the month of August. I plan on (hope to) read Emma. I've been wanting to read it for a while. I also might read Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict which is the sequel/companion to Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict; I read that a few years ago. I supposed by saying (posting) this, I'm committing myself to actually reading the book(s).
I made a list this week of the books I plan on reading this summer. It was a little all over the place and did NOT include Emma. I'll do it though, I'll read Emma and maybe some of those ten (twenty) books I listed. That's a lot for me... Usually three months would only yield six to eight read books.
Am I off topic now?
Austen in August! Do it! Yay!
Woo hoo! I'm ready for another great year with the wonderful Jane. I'm glad people get as excited as I do when this event comes around.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm glad so many people are planning to read Emma, since that's on my list for the event, too! :)
It's very encouraging to know so many people will be reading Emma at the same time as me.
