I love Mary Kay Andrews’ books and have read them all. I have preordered her newest that just happens to be released on my birthday. It will be automatically downloaded to my kindle app on my Ipad. What a great birthday present to me! I discovered Mary Kay after stumbling across her blog and loved it. Little did I know a book I’d purchased but hadn’t read yet was one of hers. So after reading her blog and her adventures of fixing up her beach house, I was anxious to read it. Needless to say, I was hooked and read all the rest. Loved seeing her as your guest blogger.

Chris says:

Savannah Blues was the most fun reading, my dumb book club ever had. Can’t wait to read Summer Rental

Jeanne Taylor says:

Jun 2, 2011 at 10:20 am

My all time FAVORITE author! Got hooked with “Hissy Fit” while recouping from surgery in 2004 and her books have been the reading material of choice for my “get well” gifts among other occassions. This is the only one I don’t have! And I loved MK’s guest blog. Her list of 10 for beach houses was a bonus since my husband and I are in the midst of renovated a cottage in PCB…can’t wait!!

Oh, and a BIG happy birthday to you Sunday Layla!!
All the best,
Jeanne

Enjoyed learning a bit about the Nights in Rodanthe house. I’m glad it was rescued but they could sure use your expertise on the interior! LOL I can appreciate the sentimentality of keeping it true to the film, but golly, some of the pictures made me cringe. In my opinion, a beach house should look, and more importantly, feel like a beach house.
Thanks for the giveaway offer!

Lana says:

Jun 2, 2011 at 10:58 am

Oh, yes….I adore her! I’m in ITALY right now until October with my family and despite the beauty here, was still missin’ my Southern Roots. So I ordered some of her books (and Annie Dillard, etc.) for a good dose of ya’ll and “bless her little ol’ heart” fire and TWANG!!!
I devoured them all. And here I am a “serious” journalist/writer…..just a’ lovin’ these fun and ADDICTIVE books!!!!!!!! My prejudice was quickly overcome and I’ve already ordered her new book!
I have been meaning to email you for weeks and weeks…but the aforementioned Italy “thang” has kept me crazy.
I was adopted and am praying for your adoption. I just want to say that my parents are MY PARENTS. I was SO BLESSED to be adopted by them. While we have 3 biological kids, we’re adopting, too. You are gonna ROCK as parents with all the joy and humor with which you live your lives and the CREATIVE SPIRIT that explodes out of you both.
But I’ll write you a separate email on that!!!

Hugs/blessings,

Lana In Italy

PS I’m a fellow transplanted Alabamian–Rhoda’s a friend and I’ve followed ya’ll for a long time but have maintained for the most part my “lurker status.” You guys are an immense blessing to all who read you.
Oh, and we restored a 100+ year old house in VA and your adventures make me nostalgic!!!

Paula says:

Jun 2, 2011 at 10:58 am

I LOVE MKA! Being a Southerner myself, I love her humor, her wit and her way with words. I think I’ve read all of her books up to The Fixer Upper. It and Summer Rental are on my summer reading list. I’ve already been to the beach, but I think Summer Rental would be great to read poolside! Thanks for a fun giveaway!

As I’m sitting in my little home office, reading your post..the wind is gusting and snow flakes are being tossed around. Although I live in the far North of Canada, this isn’t suppose to be happenening! It’s June 2nd for crying out loud!

My Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer and I have just recently moved to the North West Territories. You can check out our adventures here: http://everythingelseissecondary.blogspot.com/

I need all the summer LOVE I can get. Please put my name into the hat..and if it isn’t cheating one for the snow too.

Welcome to summer!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! So many comments that I’m not holding my breath on this, but I would absolutely love the opportunity to read this book—beach stories but especially stories of gal pals always warm my heart—possibly due to being from a coastal town and still loving so many of my dearest high school gal pals. Now that we’re back in Oregon, I’m missing some of that southern heat and sunshine!

Libby says:

Jun 2, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Love MKA! I’ve read all her books and even most of the Callahan Garitty books. I pre-ordered Summer Rental on my Kindle but would LOVE an autographed copy

I just returned from a vacation in North Carolina and although the Outer Banks time didn’t fit our schedule this time, I look forward to a leisurely week along the coast in the not-too-distant future. The book sounds like a perfect summer read!

Hi All,
I love EVERYTHING about this contest! First, I grew up as a summer child at Tybee, my father lived at Nag’s Head on the OBX, just two blocks from the ocean, and I am a great Mary Kay Andrews fan. I met her a few summers ago at Seaside Sisters, one of my favorite shops at Tybee. I have read her books, Savannah Blues is my fav. I actually know the family who lived in her Tybee rental house before she bought it, and I know the mom of the pretty blonde in the photos of MK’s house on the blog. I really NEED this book to make my life complete! Love to all at the Lettered Cottage! D
