BotW:Pride and Prejudice


Yes, the Downton Abbey gif was necessary for this week's book of the week! Seriously, it was.  I dare you to find a reason it isn't!  DARE YOU! Beyond that, I still need to finish watching this series, however, this week's book of the week is actually the very first book of the Austentatious Book Club, a group that I am part of on Goodreads.


It has been ages since I've read this book.  I am definitely looking forward to this and re-reading this book which I hate to say it, I've not read since high school...which was ungodly long ago.

I think that's all I have to say about this one.  Just a lil bit.

I did participate in a Book Photo Challenge, but only made it through I believe the 14th due to the fact that my motivation simply flew away and I spent the rest of the month having the urge to do nothing more than sit on my behind and read.  However, if I attempt another one in August, hopefully it will be more successful!  You can find the link to the photos that I did complete in the sidebar to your right!

July 5th: Signed





These two books are two of my favorite in my library and that's why they were featured as two of the five or six signed books that I currently own. One scares the ever living crap out of me and the other one breaks my heart on a regular basis!

July 2nd: Child


Because my roommate has a 12 year old daughter, I am once again revisiting quite a few books that have been a part of my childhood as well as discovering a few books that are new for her generation. These are some educational books from Scholastic on a variety of topics like Egypt, Benjamin Franklin, Mount Everest, and so much more.  Too Many Bunnies by Matt Novak is an adorable little story that any child would love!
