Just a reminder, we had a short read-a-long this month and are now on hiatus for two weeks (this week and next) but I will have the sign up and starting post up next Friday (August 31) for Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, which we’ll be reading in September and October. We’ll start reading the day after the sign ups/schedule goes up (which means we start reading September 1) and our first discussion will be on the following Friday, September 7th. Therefore you may want to secure a copy of the book if you don’t already have one.
Looking forward to reading with whoever is joining! ***Remember, this is NOT the sign up post, but feel free to ask questions, etc. in the comments section. I won’t be keeping track of anyone who says they’re joining; I will assume that you will officially sign up next week. But feel free to tell me your joining just for the sake of saying it if you’re just excited, of course! Thanks! xo
(Per usual, I will be reading from the Barnes and Noble classics edition because I think they do the best job with footnotes.)
I’m torn! This is one of my favorite books and I reread it every year, but I’m not sure I want to pick it apart in a read-a-long. Nevertheless, I’m excited to see that it’s next on the list!
I vote join us.
(But I understand why you wouldn’t.)
Wallace, I think I’m going to join you on this one. I’ve had all of the Brontes’ works for ages and never been inclined to dive in. I’m thinking maybe now the time is to just do it. This is the one with Heathcliff, right? By the by, Lunch in Paris is such a fun read – hope you are enjoying it!
Good – and yes, it’s the one with Heathcliff. Lunch in Paris is making me itch to GO to Paris. Love.
Just wanted to say that I felt something was missing all day yesterday – then I realized, yikes! The Unputdownables read-a-long is short this month! No talking about books! It was a very missed part of my usual Friday! Looking forward to WH!
I know!! I think this is the first time in a year and a half that we’ve had this long of a break, isn’t it?
I’m planning to join in on this read-a-long. I already have the book on my Kindle, so as long as I remember to sign up next Friday, I’m ready to go! I have company coming and a day trip right before the first discussion, so are you giving any early hints about how far to read the first week????
Wouldn’t it be nice if I had that figured out already? I’ll work on that and try to get back to you sooner than Friday so you’ll have an idea.
We’ll be reading to Chapter V the first week.
Thanks. I wanted to be sure I’d have the time for the first reading. Looking forward to the discussions.
Oh, I LOVE Wuthering Heights. I’ve been wanting to reread for years. Do I dare join you? I must think on this.
Yes, you dare.
I have never read this book before so this sounds like a good idea to join in and read it for the very first time!
I’m doing this! I have also been meaning to read it for years and actually stole a copy from my mother’s house last year, so I’m all set!
Fantastic – see you on Friday for the sign ups!
