Monthly Roundup - August 2012

Fourteen beautiful little ducklings on our pond this week! Spring is definitely in the air.
August was a good reading month. I managed to combine watching the Olympics with reading and finished several lighter books.
Austen in August was another great event (thanks Adam) and I supplemented my reading of Persuasion with Jane Austen's Letters and browsing through several other non-fiction books of the Regency era and enjoyed the whole Austen experience immensely.

What's ahead in September?

I'm starting the month with a few days off - not that anyone will notice as I have a couple of posts scheduled.

R.I.P VII hosted by Carl @ Stainless Steel Droppings runs from Sept 1 to Oct 31........always a popular event so check it out.

The annual Rotary Club Book Fair begins on the 19th and runs for four days which will be fun as always. Last week I packed up my box of donated books and delivered them so I have some gaps on the bookshelf to fill. 

I hope everyone has a wonderful September!
