I really love the idea of the “Short Summer Classics” read along. By coincidence, I had already checked out Summer by Edith Wharton from the library to read this summer (it is actually an Everyman Library bind up of Ethan Frome, Summer, & Bunner Sisters) but my main objective was to read Summer. I am so happy that it is included in this read-a-long. I own Quicksand already and I am currently debating buying Midsummer (to add to my Shakespeare collection) or get it from the library. Thank you for hosting!
Chelsey, I’m so so excited about this! I just ordered the paperbacks and can’t wait to read along with you and your expertise this summer ❤️ Also, my daughter is moving to Madison, so I’ll be heading your way much more often in coming months - I’m hoping we could perhaps meet for coffee or a bookstore visit someday!
I love all the summer reading guides out there. Do you know if there are any that focus on romance? Even better if historical romance?
I'm working on a list of all the historical romance series I read over maternity leave, but I don't know of any guides this year.
Phoebe has quite a few romances on her guide this year:

What a perfect coincidence! I'm so glad you're joining in.

So excited on both counts! Yay!
