I luv this reading representation from Sayoor on flickr.
Says 'summer' to this reader!
I am feeling a bit negligent in blogging at the moment
and it's about to grow even more sporadic.
I've been accepted for a certification program
and will hopefully be heading to my course in 3 weeks!
Excitement and anticipation rolled into one...
So, while I'll definitely be reading, the topic will be changing
to course material.
Def great books ~ just maybe not all my anticipated Austen in August !
As there will be gaps in posting, I wanted you to know all is well,
just some changes in life's trajectory!
What Austen in August have I been reading to this point?
*
I read and loved Beth Patillo's, Mr Darcy Broke My Heart.
Jane Austen discovered during a summer seminar in Oxford and in the contemporary life of an American substitute attendee plus~
what would be the impact of discovering an unpublished Jane Austen manuscript...?
Fun story makes me want to read another in the set!
*
I made it through the considerable 343 pages of Val McDermid's
contemporized Northanger Abbey of the Austen Project. Seemed a lot longer - more wordy- than the original and I had to fight to get through it.
Of course I loved the story being set in Scotland!
*
I followed my reading by watching the movie version of Northanger Abbey as written by Jane Austen which was a bit of a headspinning period contrast to the contemporary novel. Totally enjoyed!
Northanger Abbey is a 2007 British television film adaptation of Jane
Austen's gothic parody. It was directed by British television director Jon
Jones and the screenplay was written by Andrew Davies. -Wikipedia
Austen in August! How fun sounding! Hope you enjoy the rest of the month of reading/listening/watching. :) http://youmeandacupofteablog.blogspot.com/2014/08/its-monday-and-im-back-and-reading.html
Jane Austen <3 Great post! Now i really want to re-read one of her books! Have you read Emma? i loved it for some reason! :) Ps: Thanks for visiting my site!
There's an even older BBC production of Northanger Abbey starring Peter Firth which is worth looking out for. I love it so much I've been reluctant to watch more recent versions :-)
