Look forward to your review. And hope you can have some time listening to some audiobooks. I've just finished listening to Austen's P & P, an alternative to rereading it. I turn back to have my Austen fix after reading Maupassant's Bel Ami. Have explained why in my current post. ;) Have a great August reading and listening!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-461635778054129422012-07-30T19:22:39.564-04:002012-07-30T19:22:39.564-04:00oh! another pin it and do it challenge? cool!
