It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 5.8.13

First Monday in August ~ Already the 5th of this month!
Yes, I've been reading - especially with the several current August reading challenges [always extra motivation for me.] Plus the fact that today's garden walk with my mom  *

* turned into rainshowers, so...  I scurried home listening to this 
*

* British narrator, Jane Lapotaire, bringing the story of the Bennets, Bingleys and Jane Austen's imagination to life ~ * Hopped into this *

*  added  * * and relaxed into the world of George and Emma, Donwell Abbey and Hartfield..! * Continuing my Austen in August reading via Adam's Austen in August Challenge... *

* Yesterday I completed  *

* Presenting Darcy's perspective of reflections upon meeting the delectable Elizabeth Bennet and her not so delectable family ! An Assembly Such As This * Three Austen reads to date, also counting toward Nancy Kelley's August TBR Catchup Challenge

* and... for all those "Reading for Review" ereads lining up, I'm joining ARC AUGUST for reading motivation!

I know several release in August and one is due for a  book tour in 2 weeks, so this will definitely help ... Thanks, Octavia ;) * Looking ahead...
