Happy Friday everyone! Since we are a week into August, I decided to talk about some of the books I’m reading for this month’s Austen in August events.
Adam at Roof Beam Reader is hosting his annual month-long event dedicated to Jane Austen, and this is the first year I’ve participated. At the end of the month I’m hosting a giveaway for all pre-registered Austen in August participants here on my blog :)
Misty at The Book Rat is hosting her annual two-week event later this month, and this is the third year I’ve participated. Last year I contributed a guest post and the year before that I joined in her group read-along of Mansfield Park.
This month I’m hoping to read 1-2 Jane Austen novels plus a selection of Austen adaptations/inspirations:
Are you participating in any Jane Austen events this month? What books are on your reading list?

Thanks for including my Amelia in your Austen in August activities! I wish I could devote more of my time this month to Austen and Austen-inspired books, but August is my busiest month at work and I just don’t have as much time for my hobbies. That said, I am re-reading Sense and Sensibility right now.
I really need to read The Jane Austen Book Club. I saw the movie and loved it!
I haven’t read The Jane Austen Book Club before but I love the movie!! It’s so cute and fun :)
I didn’t know there was another Austen event this month, I’ll check it out! I thought about reading The Jane Austen Book Club because I loved the movie, but we’ll see. I’m currently reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, but it’s not what I expected. Next up will be Northanger Abbey, my first time reading the book.
I’ve been curious about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, mainly because it’s pretty popular and they’re making a movie version. But…zombies. lol, I’m not too fond of them. I’ll have to hear your thoughts after you finish.
But Northanger Abbey is fun! I love the gothic elements and the characters, especially Mr. Tilney and Catherine Morland (whom I relate to a lot).
