The Weekenders by Mary Kay Andrews published last week and thanks to Tandem Literary, we have a copy for one lucky reader!
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Some people stay all summer long on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, North Carolina. Others come only for the weekends--and the mix between the regulars and “the weekenders” can sometimes make the sparks fly. Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday afternoon, Riley is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand. And her husband is nowhere to be found.
So she turns to her island friends for help and support, but it turns out that each of them has their own secrets, and the clock is ticking as the mystery deepens...in a murderous way. Cocktail parties aside, Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Island, the husband she might not really know, and the summer that could change everything.
Told with Mary Kay Andrews’ trademark blend of humor and warmth, and with characters and a setting that you can’t help but fall for, The Weekenders is the perfect summer escape.

Reading has always been my favorite escape.
I grew up on a farm, so there were always lots of places to escape to. I would most often go hang out in our tree house. It wasn't actually up in a tree, just underneath a massive tree. My dad cut us a table and chairs (just big stumps basically) and wed keep play dishes and toys out there. It was cool and kinda dark since the branches were full and lots hung low so not a lot of light came in. It was the perfect escape.

Reading. Only reading. That's the thing that still takes me away.

Going to the library and reading was my favorite escape. The best!
I would sit outside in the backyard and read and I still do.
It was always reading, back then with a coke and bowl of potato chips, now it's usually coffee or iced tea but those chips and Diet Pepsi still sneak in there.
i would go outside, to either the creek or the "climbing tree".
I am forever reading. It's may way to drown out the real world.
I Love reading books, they take me to a place where I can put everything out of my mind & visit different people & towns I've never visited before. Thanks, hope I'm lucky enough to win this amazing book. Linda May
This may come too obvious, but my fave way of escaping reality was reading. I brought a book everywhere with me. Once I even tried to read while walking to the bus station, but that kind of ended up bad (falling not so gracefully). :)
Books, of course. Lots of reading was done during the summer months. I, also, did some doodling. I'd colored ransom designs and did some short writings. I entered one of my poems, and it was published in the newspaper. Another thing I liked doing was using grid paper and drawing some lines and then did some shading. Lots of patience, and it burned hours from the day.
Writing letters to my pen pals and reading the Babysitter Club books.
When I was young I would love to read, especially The Secret Seven Series by Enid Blyton. I still find reading is the best thing to get away from the stress of life.
I liked to go across the street to the school and swing on the swings.
Reading was my favorite escape as a child. It still is!

My favorite was has always been the San Diego County Fair. One month of every year, I could escape and just be a kid, no matter my age :)

Reading, reading, and more reading!
Reading has always been my escape, but also the trips to the library to get my books were always an escape as well.
I don't remember feeling the need to escape when I was a child. I spent a lot of time reading and roller skating though.
Along with reading, daydreaming was always my escape.
Reading. Even back then, I read everything I could get my hands on, pretty much everything in our small town library.
Typical how people can resent the interruption-in their eyes- that weekend visitors bring.
