I can’t believe another Sunday is already here! August has just flown by. I start school and my internship this week, and I’m heading to New York on Thursday to see the US Open (woo!) so things are going to start getting really busy.
I’ve wrapped up most of the BBAW stuff I’ve been working on, so I’m making an effort to get caught up on reading other blogs. I’ve barely been reading anything for at least two weeks, but I don’t want to hit the dreaded “Mark All as Read” in Google Reader – I already did that once this summer after coming back from Oxford!
This week, I completed the Buy a Book and Read It Challenge and wrote up a summary of my book club’s discussion about Beth Kephart’s Nothing But Ghosts. I joined the R.I.P IV Challenge and posted a preview of a challenge I’m going to be hosting in October called the Clear Off Your Shelves Challenge. I also said a big thank you to you guys in my post about BBAW and invited you all to come hang out at the DC Tweetup, which coincides with the National Book Festival at the end of September. Additionally, I participated in Wordless Wednesdays and my Thursday Tunes for this week was The Tudors: Season 2 soundtrack.

I hope your busy week goes smoothly. Even with all you had going on last week you still managed to read quite a bit. You amaze me!
Good luck with the start of a new school year and your internship! I haven't been reading blogs either, mostly because of my dissertation, but I'm hoping I can catch up in the days between my draft hand-in and meeting ... we'll see!
I hope you have a great time at the U.S. Open. That will be fun!
Burnt Shadows is one I've been wanting to read. I look forward to reading your review of it.
Have a wonderful week!
10 books read this week, you just blow me away!
You always amaze me with the amount of books you read! You lucky gal!!
I love the idea of the clean off your shelves challenge! I'll be keeping my eye out for that one.
You are going to be busy, but the US Open sounds like so much fun! I hope you have a blast!
congrats on finishing your BBAW responsibilities & have a great time in New York! :-)
I'm in awe of the number of books you read every week!!
Hope you've a great week ahead!
exactly how many extra days do you have in your week?!?!!? i struggle to get through 3 books each week--4 if i'm lucky! school doesn't start for me until 9/10...a few more days of peace and quiet...
Good luck with school and your internship! A clean off your shelves challenge is an excellent idea - I recently decided to focus exclusively on my out of control tbr pile, so I'm in for sure.
Good luck with your internship and school! I hope you learn a lot and enjoy yourself.
I know what you mean about not getting much reading done lately. I read a total of 150 pages last week. That's it! I had no idea how much of an impact hosting a theme week would be - and then working on my panels.
I will look forward to your review of Lacemakers. I have that on my TBR, too. I hope it's good.
