Austen in August: Sign-Up Post! (#AustenInAugustRBR)

Welcome to the sign-up post for AUSTEN IN AUGUST, an annual reading event celebrating one of literature’s greatest writers! This event was inspired by a Twitter conversation that took place between three founders of The Classics Club.  Last year was a huge success, and I am hopeful that this year will be another knock-out!

Why is Jane Austen so interesting?  Pemberely explains:

“Jane Austen is very resistant to being classified as part of a literary “school”, or being placed in any customarily-defined literary period — partly because none of the obvious available terms, “18th-century, “Romantic”, or “Victorian”, would appropriately describe her. Almost all of the major figures who were literarily active in the period 1800-1837, and who are currently deemed worthy of remembering (i.e. are “canonized”), fall into one of a few categories — either they launched their literary careers before 1800 (Burney, Edgeworth); or they were part of the Romantic movement (or were more or less strongly influenced by romanticism, or wrote in self-conscious reaction to romanticism); or they did most of their writing and publishing after 1837 (e.g. Dickens). Jane Austen is the conspicuous exception who does not fit into any of these categories.”

The Goal: To read as many of Jane Austen’s works (finished or unfinished) as you want or are able to, during the month of August.  Biographies, audiobooks, spin-offs, and re-reads also count.  I will post throughout the month on different subjects, as well as with my own reviews of the Austen books I finish.  We will be offering giveaways, guest posts, and other shenanigans, all of which are meant to inspire a great, interactive event.

If you are going to participate, you can read any of Jane Austen’s novels, a biography about her, or any contemporary re-imaginings (such as Austenland or The Jane Austen Book Club, for example). All posts will help you qualify for prizes, which I’ll explain in a later post!

And if you want to sign-up for Austen in August, simply leave a comment stating such!  Maybe include some of the books you hope to read, too.  I plan to read Emma and Persuasion, at the very least.  🙂

Please also post the button somewhere on your blog (maybe in an announcement post or on your blog’s side-bar) so that we can spread the word, gather excitement, and encourage participation.  The more of us reading Austen together, the better!

Sign-ups are open throughout the month of July.  If you sign-up after July 31st, you can still participate, but may not be eligible for some of the early giveaway prizes.

  1. Hi, signing up. It’s been a while since I read EMMA, so definitely to be read first. Then NORTHANGER ABBEY I’d say.

    • I enjoyed Sense & Sensibility, and it is also Jillian’s favorite. My personal favorites are Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice, though. I can’t speak to Emma as that one and Persuasion are the two I have left to read… so, I’ll be done with Austen’s complete works as of this year! Unfinished titles, juvenilia, and all! You’re welcome to read Emma with me and whomever else chooses it, but my heart is with Northanger Abbey (and if Jill sees this she will champion Sense and Sensibility). 😉

  8. Okay, I’m into confession these days so I must say I have never read Austen or even watched the movies. I am Austen-clueless; other than hearsay. So in conjunction with my short works challenge and to add to my Classics Club reads, I’m going to read Lady Susan. If that goes okay I think the short Northanger Abbey (179 pages) might be something I’d enjoy and it’s short. I’d probably enjoy reading The Real Jane Austen but even the the Kindle version is pretty pricey at this stage. Not sure I want to go that far. However, I might be inclined to read A Jane Austen Education. 🙂 Do I sound a wee bit contorted?

    • I think this event is the right place for you to get a healthy (fun and lively) dose of Jane. 😉 Northanger Abbey is not her “best” work, but it’s my favorite. It’s funny, edgy – a bit more gutsy than her later stuff, though not as well-written. Also, Lady Susan is hilarious.

    • Hi Vikk, it’s great that you’re venturing into Austen territory. I wouldn’t recommend Lady Susan as your first experience, though. It’s really for already avid fans and best appreciated after you got to know her wry sense of humor. Most people enjoy Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion the most.

I bought that book for myself years ago for Christmas.. can’t believe I never cracked it open!

And, yes, I think this will be a great way for you to break-in… lots of discussions, lots of folks reviewing/talking about each of the books, the movies, etc. Which book do you think you’ll start with? A lot of people seem to like to start with Sense and Sensibility. I think that’s a pretty good way to go. 🙂

  35. I will read Northanger Abbey. I’ve read P&P and S&S – at least, I think I have. They are the type of books where you feel like you’ve read them, because you’ve seen the movie(s) so many times, but did I really read them? I think this is part of getting old… also, years spent reading before Goodreads was a thing… anyways. I read Persuasion this year and really enjoyed it. Also need a break from the relentlessly male-oriented Moby Dick, so this will be perfect 🙂
