Bout of Books 11: Master Post

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 18th and runs through Sunday, August 24th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 11 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

I have participated in this reading challenge for the past two years, and will do so this year for the third time. Since I have not read all of Jane Austen's books, I hope to read Sense and Sensibility and Northanger Abbey. Have you read either one of these books, did you enjoy them? Do you plan on joining me in this reading challenge?
