The Long Weekend | Veronica Henry
16 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
A short break can become the holiday of a lifetime...The terrific new novel from the bestselling author of THE BEACH HUT In a gorgeous quayside hotel in Cornwall, the long weekend is just beginning... Claire Marlowe owns 'The Townhouse by the Sea' with Luca, the hotel's charismatic chef. She ensures that everything runs smoothly - until an unexpected arrival checks in and turns her whole world upside down. The rest of the guests arrive with their own baggage. There's a couple looking for distraction from a family tragedy; a man trying to make amends for an affair he bitterly regrets...and the young woman who thinks the Cornish village might hold the key to her past. Here are affairs of the heart, secrets, lies and scandal - all wrapped up in one long, hot weekend.

A hotel in Cornwall, we meet the owners, employees and some of its visitors. Some are hiding something, some are looking for something and some might meet someone from their past.

Once again this author has me in tears several times during this book

14th book for #RushAThon

What a pleasing, easy read this was! While I haven‘t talked with Emily, my buddy reader, yet, I‘ll say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Yes, the cast of characters is large, so it was a bit of a “wait, who‘s that again?” every time there was a change, but it was such a delight to read that that was a minor detail. Predictable? Sure, in some ways, but that doesn‘t make this any less of a comforting pleasure to read. Reminds me of Maeve Binchy.

Buddy reading this with a friend from Booktube and she already finished 2 days ago! (We didn‘t have a set schedule, and she is 6 hours ahead of me, but still.) Looks like I need to get tucked into this today. Oh darn! 😉

Doesn't work this going to bed late and getting up early because you body clock refuses to realise you are off work and have been for over a week 🤨
My weekend reads and probably my last two books of July as I have a very busy Monday - Wednesday (Looking after my niece, holiday shopping and my wedding anniversary 🙆‍♀️🛍💏)
18 books in July though which is the most in a month this year 📚📚📚

I think I enjoyed the weekend a bit too much. A bit of good weather and now I'm in holiday mode! Time to check out how many lobsters there are at work...

It's my 1st #LitsyPartyofOne & happily my parents are leaving now & not returning till Sun evening so I have the place to myself! My plans are to (hopefully) finish all my current reads, take the dog for some walks, clean the house (bc it super needs it), & start sketching some set design for our nutcracker-themed Christmas party.

The Brief Wondrous...49%
The Battle for Home...42%
Brown Girl Dreaming...48%
The Tsar of Love and Techno...22%

Natasha.C.Barnes You can see a tiny slip of paper under the table--now multiply that by 300 and add tons of fluff pulled out of stuffed animals and you'll get an idea of what out floors look like right now. Toddler puppies, amirite? 6y
CocoReads I forgot it was #LitsyPartyofOne weekend! Yay! 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @CocoReads I forgot till yesterday! Great timing, right? I suppose I feel like this makes up for having major family events scheduled during deweys readathon! 😂 6y
CocoReads @Natasha.C.Barnes I was just telling my daughter at lunch that I‘m going to the store this afternoon and then not leaving the house again except for church on Sunday. 6y
Natasha.C.Barnes @CocoReads Haha, sounds perfect! 6y

📚Weekend plans: Here is my chair in the coolest room in my house, which is essential when it's a 95-plus degree (F) weekend. I will be reading and listening to US Open tennis.
📚Fave junk food: M&Ms
📚Audiobooks: Yes!
📚Looking forward to: #LitsyPartyOfOne and the massive Planned Parenthood-hosted used book sale I'm hoping to get to
📚Favorite book-to-movie adaptation: So many, but today it's 84, Charing Cross Road

Sace What a comfy looking spot! 7y
Susannah @RestlessFickleBookSlut Thanks! It definitely is. It would be cozy too if it weren't hot even in the cooler rooms of my house. Southern California landlords need to accept that air conditioning is now a necessity, but they don't. 7y
Sace @Susannah Oh that sounds awful. I live in the South and pretty much everyone is in board with the while AC thing. 7y

Susannah @RestlessFickleBookSlut I grew up in Mississippi, which makes me that much more perplexed by Californians' unwillingness to embrace the wonderful advances of air conditioning in their homes. 😁 (edited) 7y
Sace @Susannah ??? isn't there some malarkey about "dry" heat? Sorry, but IMO hot is hot. 7y
Susannah @RestlessFickleBookSlut 👍👍👍 Malarkey indeed. 😉 7y

I am now beginning a long weekend! Goals include Spring Cleaning of my office (aka that room we throw stuff in) and my closet. I'm going to try hard to stick to this and not binge watch shows on demand.

I will also strive to finish two of my current reads. However will I manage? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
