Ever since Aldous Jones careened over the handlebars of his bicycle in 1955 and landed next to farmer Evan's field, it has become a tradition for him to take his family camping in Wales, believing that a certain symbiosis exists between their lives in their North London home and the Welsh village that they only ever see in August.

Well, I only completed 2 of my goals but I finished 2 books and I‘m almost finished with Devolution. So I‘m happy with #AwesomeAugust 😀 Thank you @Andrew65 for hosting! Looking forward to the next!

Well, I didn‘t hit my 200 pages a day - I forgot we had our annual family get together and was going to lose an entire weekend day. And I forgot to consider the audios I wanted to get through this month - and I was listening between an hour and two every day. So I‘m gonna still call this #AwesomeAugust a success, having finished 4 print books and 2 audios in 9 days. Thanks for hosting, @Andrew65

Andrew65 A great success, well done. 👏👏👏🙌🥳🍾🥂😍 4y
janeycanuck @Andrew65 Thank you! It‘s always fun to do these. 4y

💗August was a sad month for me. I introverted...but a bright spot was when my niece sent me some vintage photos and I found this sweet one of Mom & me from 1969 💙

💖 tempt yourself with something that doesn't require a huge commitment like short story or verse

britt_brooke Love that photo! 💚 6y
AmyG Great photo. My sister sent me some photos from 1971. How fun it is to get photos from your youth. 6y
Sace What a great photo! 6y

Eggs @Pamwurtzler @RestlessFickleBookHoarder @AmyG @britt_brooke Thanks everyone. There were so many pix of me growing up I'd never seen! What up with that?!? 6y
AmyG Same with me. My step-father took family pictures on slides. When my sister and I cleared out the house to sell, she took the boxes of slides to her house....and we forgot about them! This summer she just started the project of scanning pictures. We were so thrilled to see our childhood! 6y
Eggs @AmyG 😍💗😊 6y
jmofo It‘s nice to see you back in Listyland! 6y
Eggs What a nice thing to say! @jmofo Thanks! 😍 6y

For only reading 1 book the first two weeks of August, I‘ve got to say I‘m impressed with my stats.

August is usually my most productive reading month, due to being on holiday, therefore a big #TBRStack this month. 😬😳🤯

Yay for two 6 hour flights, layovers, and being sick. I got a ton of reading in, making a dent in my #NetGalley, #LitsyAtoZ, #audiobook, and #botm #tbr piles.

monkeygirlsmama Wow two more I didn't have already. I'd better stick with the 5 I have though or I will be in trouble. 😛 7y
Jess7 Haha @monkeygirlsmama I usually pick one that I'm going to try to do everyday and then if I have time I'll do another one here and there or substitute in another one on days I can't think of anything to post for the main one I've chosen to participate daily in 7y

monkeygirlsmama @Jess7 Me too. Even if I have more than one and start strong, I rarely can keep up with all of them. Either no time or no ideas on what to post for a prompt. 7y

Still working on Tune In, which is nearly 1000 pages, as well as my #chronologicalKingread and #lotrchaptersday, which continues with FOTR this month! 👏🏻

Bottom row includes 3 #netgalley #ARCs I never got to in July and the next #whodunitbymail read!
