Adam, @Roofbeamreader (http://roofbeamreader.net/2012/07/02/austen-in-august-sign-up-post/), has come up with a great idea for the month of August -- a reading event for Jane Austen novels and Austen themed novels! There have been quite a few books lately that take a spin off of Jane Austen's works.
There is no limit or any kind of challenge to Austen in August. It is more of a read for the love of Austen!

I wanted to share the love of a book I recently read, as well as the book in which it was based.
I am offering a copy of Diana Peterfreund's FOR DARKNESS SHOWS THE STARS (my gushing review!) and Jane Austen's PERSUASION, in which FDStS was based.
Only registered participants are eligible for this prize.
