Alright, y’all. Who wants to win a copy of Mary Kay Andrews new release ?
Ms. Kathy (a.k.a Mary Kay) is a friend of ours and said I could give one away here this week!
(Kathy, Ki Nassauer and me on a World’s Longest Yard Sale adventure in 2014)
Leave a comment below to enter and I’ll randomly select a winner tomorrow night. (Friday at 8pm CST)
And while we’re talking about creative Kathy/MK, have you seen the old house she fixed up? It’s a vacation rental on Tybee Island (in Georgia) and she named it Breeze Inn:
She fixed up another old house on the same island not long ago too. She named this one Ebb Tide:
I haven’t stayed at Ebb Tide yet, but man did we have a blast at Breeze Inn! Steevenson has been asking to go back to Tybee Island ever since our last trip there, so maybe we’ll give Ebb Tide a whirl next time.
What’s your favorite beach, vacation rental or island to get away to? If possible, leave a link in your comment so we can check it out too! 😀

Oh, I would LOVE to visit the beautiful places that she writes about!! I feel like I am there as I read… Tybee Island is on my bucket list! We have vacationed on 30A in Florida and just love it. Adding her new book to my collection would be wonderful! Thanks for this giveaway!
Love her books…fun escape. Why am I not surprised that she is also a gifted decorator? As to beaches, it is a way of life in MN with all out lakes!
Oh and the house from Fairmont was just lovely!!
St. Augustine Beach Florida is our favorite place! Also the city of St. Augustine has so much to see and do! As the oldest city in the USA there is tons of history and you feel like you have stepped back in time. You can’t beat history and the Atlantic Ocean just a few miles from each other!!!
Perfectly beachy!! Love it!!
Ahhh those fixer uppers are gorgeous! it’s giving me the itch to take a vacation!
Great giveaway! I would love to read her new book on our upcoming visit to the Outer Banks in North Carolina.
We love Sunset Beach, NC! It’s a quiet little island that few people know about. Perfect for a family vacation!
Sounds like a great read. Perfect for a Gulf Shores getaway, which I see in my near future…..hopefully.😎
It has to be good if you are reading it!! Love your stories daily!!!
Any where on the Outer Banks! Love South Carolina too. Actually I just love the beach, so as long as the beach is involved I’m in!!!
This sounds like a lovely summer read! Her Inn is just beautiful, so cozy and welcoming!
My girlfriend and I have been reading all of her books in our own little book club. We have added Tuber Island to our bucket list! Would love her new book!
I love the retro feel of the cottages she’s done; so pretty and the colors are vibrant. I need to make a trek out East for sure.
I haven’t read any of her books and would like to read this one to see if I have a new favorite author!
I’ve read all of MK’s books so looking forward to this one too! I met her at the 1st Chapel Market in Pike Road a few years ago. Love your IG stories and seeing that precious little boy. They make my day. One day I hope to run into you but I’ll probably be awkward and won’t speak.
I have wanted to read this book all summer, have heard nothing but great things about it! I have an accumulation of beach trips in the memory but the Alabama coast is still one my favorites. The Beach Club in Fort Morgan is a great family place to stay! ❤️
Fantastic giveaway, Layla! If I don’t win the book, I’ll have to give it a listen on Audible! And so happy you shared the Breeze Inn… adding that to my bucket list trip to Savannah. The nearest to Tybee that have vacationed would be St. Simons and Jeckyll Island, GA… blissful! But my mother lives on Orchid Island in Vero Beach, FL, so that’s my go-to spot. Family + beach = happiness!
Have a sweet day, sweet lady!

Love Mary Kay’s books! Would love to win her new one! My husband and I go to Gulf Shores, AL for a week every September. It’s glorious!! Thanks for a chance to win!! Love your blog!!
I love MKA! She came to the Decatur Library and delighted us all. She never fails to make me laugh out loud while reading her books.
For a local summer getaway the Tennessee River for an afternoon, Lewis Smith Lake in Alabama for a weekend but if you have a week Lake Michigan is amazing. The farther up the Mitten you travel, the more fascinating your adventure becomes.
Thanks for the book giveaway!!
The book sounds so good and Andrews’ homes look incredible! Thanks for offering th giveaway! ☺️
Love to read her books. Finally made it down to Tybee this spring and loved it!
Hope I win.
A week after you posted about your trip, I saw a lady with a sweatshirt that had a tie, a bee, and an island on it, HERE in Indiana! I thought grabbing her and yelling, “I know what that means!”, may have been extreme 🤩
I’ve wanted to read one of her books since the first time you posted about her. This would be a great opportunity to do that. I love the beach and this is just what I need.
Oh that looks like a fun book! And what an adorable rental! I would love to visit someday!
Our family loves to vacation at the beach, and one of our favorite places is on Singer Island, Florida. The beach we often stay at is usually full of sea turtle nests and we love visiting a local sea turtle hospital that works to save this endangered species. We also like the low country and I truly enjoy reading all books that take place in that picturesque locale. We leave for a vacation with my brother and his wife in a few weeks and I am still in need of a great beach read, so this title may just be the one I purchase…unless of course I am fortunate enough to be the lucky winner.
One of my favorite authors! I love all beaches- Pensacola Beach is right up there next to Palm Beach in Aruba.
Tybee looks adorable! bucket list for girls getaway! book looks like a great summer read! P.S. please don’t stop using those filters on insta – story! brings me to belly laughs every time! you are hilarious!
Looks like a fun read
Tybee Island is on my bucket list! We’re hoping to take the great retirement adventure of touring the US with a camper in a couple of years after next year downsizing and building “dream” log cabin. Never a dull moment here in Maine but always time to read!
I’m always looking for a new book to read!
Excited to read this one!
I adore Mary Kay Andrews books and would love to win this newest one — it looks like a great read. Love her beach houses, too. I used to live in central Georgia and would go once a month to Savannah to the orthodontist; my husband’s family is from Savannah. We know most of the places she describes in her books. These days we live on the west coast, and our favorite beach town is Cannon Beach, OR, which has lots of majestic rocks off shore. It’s popular in the summer, and also in the winter when storm watchers come in droves to watch the waves batter the rocks and crash on the beach.
I’d love to win the book. My husband and I have been working for weeks on a huge DIY project, I’m dying to finish and just sit and read a good book.
I would love to be able to vacation in a cute cottage like these one day! 💛 Adding this book to my summer reading list.
I love books about the low country! Sounds like an interesting read.
I spend a lot of the summer at Fire Island, which is a (no-cars) barrier island in front of Long Island, NY. I look forward to reading Mary Kay’s books each summer. I wish she would write more of thearli Callahan Garrity mysteries series she wrote years ago under her real name. Love those books.
We usually vacation by staying with family. They’re the best!
What a great giveaway!! Love her beach cottages!!
I’m an avid reader but have never had the pleasure of reading a book by Ms. Andrews, so I would love the opportunity. And, oh what a beautiful rental! The hubby and I may have to take a trip…
I would love to read her new book! I’ve been looking for a good, summer read to dive into. 🙂
Looks like a fun read! I’m visiting Savannah rightnoe
Her books are so fun!!!! I’ve enjoyed reading on the beautiful beach at Cape San Blas Florida
Our favorite beach vacay spot is Bay Saint Louis, MS. Loved it so much that we moved there! Using a lot of your designs and advice for inspiration in our remodel ❤️
I would love the book. Tybee Island is on our list to visit.
What a fun giveaway! I love her books. And just wanted you to know that I started praying for y’all waaaay back at the beginning of your adoption journey, and just smile every time I think about how God has Blessed you and Kevin with Steevenson. Love the updates on your precious babe!
I love her books, Tybee is somewhere I have always wanted to go. I will have to check her place out. Gorgeous!!
Have you ever heard of Assateague Island In Maryland? It’s where all the wild horses run… so neat for kiddos!
How fun!!! Fav beach…so tough to pick one!! We love Orange Beach AL, Maui, Hilton Head.
Always love a good summer read! Thanks for a chance to win a copy!
Looks like a perfect book for vacation! Pick me!
