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 how fun! I would love to visit there someday! I’ve actually never made my way to the east coast or the Midwest for that matter. Sad I know. Our favorite little beach town is pacific city, Oregon! It’s a quaint west coast town full of all the summer fixins’ like shaved ice, soft sand you can sit in forever and read while your kiddos make sandcastles……good seafood and fun shops that you walk to (no driving necesssary!) Tillamook ice cream, the best sunsets EVER!! Salt water taffy, amazing kayaking and stand up paddle boarding…It’s a place you come with friends and family and make lifetime memories!
I haven’t read any of her books. This would be a great start. Love beach getaways. We are Florida goers but always on the look for a new place.
I love beach houses and want to go to Tybee Island sometime soon!
We are on the West Coast! Our favorite getaway is Cambria, California.
I haven’t checked out this author before, but she sounds like a good one to do so! As a kid we went to Tybee each year, so that has my heart!
Tybee Island is on my wish list. Just spent a week in New Buffalo, MI. We had a wonderful week!
Love your blog and your sweet family! What a fun giveaway!!
Love your blog Layla. We had a great little weekend getaway to Tybee. Saw “Beach Blanket Bingo” at the Tybee Post Theatre near the lighthouse. Rode bikes all over the island. Please put me down for the drawing!
Love MK’s books & cottages. If you visit Texas I would recommend South Padre Island, has something for everyone.
I’m going to admit, I have never read her books. I’m always set on just three authors, but I have been thinking that I need to expand my list of authors. She might be the next. My favorite beach is a hard one. I live near the beach in Southern California, so I feel really blessed. But, The beaches of Hawaii just tug at my heart strings all the time.
Beautiful rentals. It would be so fun to stay on one. I’d love a chance to win the book. Thanks!
I love your blog!!
I love tybee island and love to read her books. I live in Illinois and enjoy reading about coastal living. Thank you.
I have never read any of Mary Kay Andrews’ books, but I am always looking for a new author. One of my favorite authors is from my old home town, Lisa Wingate, and I am sure that many of your blog followers would love her work. Her first book, Tending Roses, has just been re- released, after her most recent novel, Before We Were Yours, sold over a million copies.
If MKA books are as good as the houses she decorates are beautiful, I know I would love her work! We have never really done a beach vacation rental, but this May, we did go to Santa Fe, NM, with our family, and stayed at my SIL’s vacation rental. It was wonderful, especially the cooler weather ! ( We are from Texas and it is way too hot right now!) It was the first vacation we had had in many years, and it was nice to get to stay in one place and really explore the area, unlike moving from place to place, as we have done on several road trips we took. I hope we can do a beach vacation rental one day. It seems to be a popular vacation for our friends, especially when their children are grown up and they go with all their children’s families.
Love the mermaid tote bag on the cover. I’m a west coaster who’s never visited your neck of the woods, would love to explore it some day.
Our fav beach getaway is Rosemary Beach on 30A just east of Seaside approx 8 minutes away. When my husband & I go alone we love to rent a townhome called The Grand Petite situated above the restaurants & boutiques on Main Street very near the West Green. We rent from http://www.InvitedHome.com. But we’ve also seen it listed on VRBO & HOME AWAY.
We’ve been experiencing the beach since 1997 when we came to Orange Beach and we slowly made our way east to Seagrove Beach Florida and Seacrest Beach Florida. Rosemary Beach is just the right size for our taste. So many beautiful homes & cottages to rent. Our family of 14 usually rent a large home close to the beach.
I would love to win this book! I LOVE Mary Kay Andrews books ♥️♥️♥️🌊
We love South Padre Island in Texas!
Just got back from Portofino resort in Gulf Breeze. I read Savannah Blues and immediately started Little Bitty lies. I can’t get enough of her books! Just love them. I always recommend what I read to my daughter in laws and girl friends. Mary Kay is the best in not wanting to put her books down and not wanting them to end! Would love her new book
I haven’t read any of her books yet so yes I would like to win.
As a teacher heading back to school in 3 weeks, this book would be my last escape.
I live on the Central Coast of California, and this is my favorite place in the world! Beautiful beaches here, plus the cute college town of San Luis Obispo. Come visit, you will love it!
I love all of her books. Hissy Fit have to be one of my favorites!
My fav place is Anna Maria Island in Florida
Beautiful beach 🏖 great sand
Nothing less than Amazing
Great place to enjoy a great book 📖
Love MK’s books! Our favorite beach getaway is St. Simons Island here in Georgia. In fact, we like it so much we built a second home there!
How fun! I just started reading books again in January! I’m on book 13 so far and love that my love for books has been renewed!!
Oh! Those homes are lovely!!! Love her books and her decorating 🙂
Hi Layla! Just wanted to thank you for your blog and intsa~stories! You and your sweet family make me smile daily. Actually YOU make me laugh hysterically almost everyday! I love your honesty and playful personality!! Have a wonderful day! 😁
That is on my bucket list to go to Tybee Island. I love all the pictures and
all I hear about it. Dreams and wishes do come true.
Love to read that book😘
Having surgery in two weeks , need a good read😀my son and his fam have a place on tybee!
Getting ready to go to Bethany Beach, DE (1st time) and later also to Emerald Isle, NC. Also really like North Topsail, NC. Going to the library now to check out Mary Kay’s books. I need new reading material for the beach!
Tybee Island is on the list of places to go. Looks beautiful and I would love to get a copy of the book!
I have not read any of MKA’s books yet, but this looks like a good summer read. I would love to win and then take it with me on a beach vacation, but alas, we have another mountain vacation planned. I am craving the beach but with family in the mountains of Tennessee, we just love going there!
Thank you for sharing about Tybee Island. I look forward to visiting there someday!
I am enjoying your summer as you share your days on IG.

Need a good summer read for my upcoming ‘momcation’ at our family cabin, will need to read in 5 minute increments of course 😉 Great vacation spot, Tofino on Vancouver island in Canada! West coast is a dream I highly recommend it, but I’m biased 🙂
Love Mary Kay Andrews books and have read many! Look forward to reading this one!
I’m not a beach girl but enjoy ready about them.
Sunset Beach in Cape May, NJ is my favorite beach! It’s quiet, it has great viewing for some spectacular sunsets and there is a ceremony every evening to honor a veteran. A local man talks about the vet they’re honoring, lowers the flag and the crowd sings God Bless America. It was so touching and a wonderful way to end the day!
Oooh, a lovely beach read, yes please! Thanks to you and Mary Kay.
We love to head to Maui! But I’m dying to get out your way and turn your beaches out there!!
We have spent most of our island time on Hilton Head. We did visit Tybee when our son was in a golf tournament on Wilmington Island. It seems like it would be so hard to choose a cottage to rent, but oh how much fun it would be. I have two of Mary Kay’s books on my Kindle and can’t wait to start them. Would love to have the “old fashioned” book in my hands to read.
I don’t have a favorite getaway…yet! But there is a fun tea house here in Oregon called the Painted Lady. I most recently had the princess tea there with my cousin and her daughter. (thepaintedladybbtearoom.com)
Amelia Island is my very favorite getaway! MKA is always in my beach bag!
p.s. loving “lucinda” 😆
I’m from Savannah, so Tybee has always been my favorite getaway. I love the central California coastal towns also. Can’t wait to read this!
Would love to win her book! Love the beaches in Panhandle of Florida.
Fox Island on Puget Sound, where I have many wonderful childhood memories.
I would love to win this book. I’m looking for a great summer read to enjoy in my hammock!
We had an amazing first time experience with Sea Side vacations this summer here in North Carolina. It was a fantastic experience!
Ever since you’ve written about Tybee Island and your adventures there I’ve got it on my bucket list. I would love to win & read this book!
You make my day everyday! I love your insta stories and how real you are. Also, love Tybee and Mary Kay Andrews. Haven’t read this book yet. 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️💗
❤️ her books! I love anything I can get my hands on about the Low Country!
Excited about a great beach read!
