Snapshot Saturday- Stitchery

Snapshot Saturday is hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books. You can head to her blog to check out the linky list to see what others are posting.

This year I am trying to do more of my needle work. I have countless patterns, kits and a few long suffering in progress pieces. So around New Years I pulled out one of the kits, intended as a possible generic Christmas gift, and got cracking. I've been working on this while I've watched tv in the evenings, so my reading progress is not so quick. I aim to get a couple reviews. Completely forgot that I needed one for Classic's Club book.

Pride and Prejudice Bicentenary Challenge 2013

So, sue me. Another one. But read and watch Austen is something I do regularly, so doesn't seem like a stretch.

The Thing
Austenprose is hosting The Pride and Prejudice Bicentenary Challenge 2013 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the publication of this classic novel.

Details
It runs through December 31, 2013 and has three levels of participation.

I will do the Aficionada: 9-12 selections

You can read the full details at the Austenprose blog, linked above.

My list
Not sure on what order I'll take yet, but I'll start with a reread via the audiobook, and probably aim for one a month. Some might change, if something more interesting crosses my path.
