Graywacke's blurb on Summer

Looking ahead a bit. For those who want to continue on with, or join the #whartonbuddyread , our next novel will be Summer, and we‘ll start mid-October.

Summer is a novel Edith Wharton liked a lot, but critics often overlook. It‘s an outside-New-York-leisure-class novel, that takes place in New England. Wharton apparently called it her “hot Ethan”.

batsy I might try to join in for this one 🙂 Do you happen to have a schedule of what's the next few books after Summer? 2y

Graywacke @Leftcoastzen 👏 2y

Graywacke @batsy a list, but not a schedule. Next five, maybe: - The Marne, 1918
- The Age of Innocence, 1920 (Pulitzer Prize winner)
- The Glimpses of the Moon, 1922
- A Son at the Front, 1923
- Old New York, 1924 2y

batsy @Graywacke Thank you! Going to try to acquire copies where possible and join in if I can; only have The Age of Innocence out of those. 2y

Graywacke @batsy the Marne isn‘t too hard to find (well, in the US). Those last three might be, though. 2y

Cathythoughts Thankyou! I‘ve read this one , so I hope to reread. 2y

Hanna-B Sounds great! 2y

Graywacke @Catsandbooks thanks! Did you want to join? 2y

Currey @Graywacke @Cathythoughts I have read Summer, but I also will reread with everyone 2y

Graywacke @Hanna-B I‘ll add you to the list. 👍 2y

Graywacke @Cathythoughts @Currey i had never heard of Summer before we started this theme. Glad you‘re both joining! 2y

sarahbellum Probably won‘t join in again until Age of Innocence, but please continue to tag me. Thanks for organizing! 2y

CarolynM I‘m in. Looking forward to it. @batsy I downloaded a Complete Works from iBooks when we started because I knew wouldn‘t find them all in the shops. It only cost about $3 - the benefit of being out of copyright 😆 (edited) 2y

Graywacke @sarahbellum no worries. We‘ll keep you on. AoI might be January or later. 2y

Graywacke @CarolynM I‘ve thought of picking something like that up. The collected works are not my favorite format, but it will do. 2y

AnnR I'm going to take a little break from Wharton but do plan to join in for AoI in 2023. Thank you @Graywacke and @Lcsmcat for continuing to host these buddy reads. Much appreciated! 2y

CarolynM Not my favourite either, but it is convenient 2y

Hanna-B @Graywacke thanks 2y

jewright I bought the Kindle complete works for a couple of dollars. I would rather read a different format, but that way I don‘t have to remember to buy the books all the time. 2y

Lcsmcat @batsy You can find them on Project Gutenberg here for free https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search/?query=Edith+Wharton&submit_search=Searc... 2y

batsy @CarolynM @Lcsmcat Thank you for that! I totally forgot about out of copyright/Gutenberg 🙂 I love whatever Wharton I've read, so might try to get copies of certain books while using the free ebook for others. 2y

Catsandbooks No thank you, I just wanted to spread the word and have it posted on Litsy Events so others know about the group ☺️ 2y

Graywacke @Catsandbooks i thought so, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks! 2y

Sparklemn I‘m in! 2y

Louise Would love to participate and will do my best to make it happen. 2y

Graywacke @Sparklemn @Louise I‘m glad you‘re both joining. 2y

Daisey I‘m hoping to join in for this one as it‘s on the #1001books list. 2y

Graywacke @Daisey - whoops, I never responded. I‘m glad you‘re joining, and I added you to the list. Cool to know its on the 1001 list. 2y

Graywacke @Ann_Reads hi. Sorry, late response. Did you want me to keep tagging you about Summer? 2y
