Beachcombers: A Novel | Nancy Thayer
22 posts | 16 read | 8 to read
BONUS: This edition contains a Beachcombers discussion guide and an excerpt from Nancy Thayer's Heat Wave. Abbie Fox hasnt seen her father or two younger sisters in almost two years. But now Lily, the baby of the family, is sending Abbie urgent emails begging her to return home. Their middle sister, Emma, has taken to her bed, devastated after losing her high-powered job and breaking up with her fianc. Also, Lily is worried that the beautiful, enigmatic woman renting their guesthouse has set her sights on their widowed father. The Fox sisters closed ranks years ago after the haunting, untimely death of their mother, but seeing their dad move on with his life forces each of them to take stock. Over the course of the summer, the sisters lives grow as turbulent as the unpredictable currents off the New England coast: Abbie breaks her own rules in the name of love, type-A Emma learns a new definition of success, and strong-minded Lily must reconcile her dreams with reality. At summers end, these unforgettable women will face profound choicesand undergo personal transformations that will surprise even themselves.

Missing Myrtle Beach already, had a lot of fun on vacation but need to get back to reading and I have summer school. I‘ll be running my library for students to check out books for a couple hours a day. We had a great view from our room and had a ton of fun with my in laws.

Any beach really - but this is Ocean City, NJ

The beach has always been very relaxing for me and evokes so many happy memories.

My #beachselfie and #parkselfie for #summerfun. Both of these pictures are from past trips before the pandemic. The beach is from a cruise four years ago and the park is a local park that puts on a huge light display for Christmas.

StayCurious Great pictures! 4y

The best I can do. From a long time ago in California. Probably the last time I will ever go in an ocean. I haven‘t gone since and don‘t plan to. 🤣

robinb I don't go in either, but love to sit and watch and relax. 4y
AmyG Agree @robinb. Now I sit under an umbrella and read. 4y
robinb @AmyG me too...plus since my first skin cancer last year, I‘m trying to be extra cautious in the sun. 4y

Last week I social distanced myself at the beach. It wasn‘t crowded and we had plenty of sunshine and reading time. It was bliss. This week I‘m home, but still reading! #AnIntrovertsParadise #FLGulfCoast

robinb I miss seeing your posts @rustoryhuf . I hope all is well with you! 💕 3y

Not the best book but a decent summer/beach read. Having three sisters of my own I could relate to the sister dynamic.

Ok, who else goes to the beach and sees tons of people reading and cranes their necks to see the titles? 🙋🏼‍♀️I usually feel inappropriate doing it, but I really need to know!! 😅
🐳🐚☀️🐠🏖

GondorGirl All the time! 6y
TheKidUpstairs Anytime I go anywhere and see people reading, I HAVE to know what the book is. My husband gets so embarrassed, because I am NOT subtle! 😂 6y
KathyWheeler Sometimes I‘ll just flat out ask. 😊 6y

Kaye I walk clear around them looking. If they notice me, I just ask. Most people are glad to talk books. 6y
CocoReads I did it at breakfast at Denny‘s last weekend when we were out of town, I‘ve done it at the bar (he was reading game of thrones), I always want to know what people are reading! 6y
knittedgnome Haha yep!! 6y
Clare-Dragonfly I always want to know but I never stare too hard or ask… I don‘t want to interrupt when someone is reading! 6y
Magpiegem Oh yes!! Back when I was a trolley dolly I was always trying to see what my passengers were reading to 😄 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Book nosy, here✋🏽 6y
Chelsea.Poole @GondorGirl @thekidupstairs yeah, not just at the beach! Everywhere I see someone ready I‘m curious! 6y
Chelsea.Poole @KathyWheeler @kaye @CocoReads I wish I had the nerve to ask! Most of the time I try to be covert 😆 6y
CocoReads I‘m in the too introverted to ask category. Lol 6y
Kaye I‘ve never been afraid to talk to people, no matter what my age. Always a yakker. After circling them a few times, I think it‘s easier to ask than have them call 911 on me. 😁 6y
Chelsea.Poole @Clare-Dragonfly @cocoreads I would like to be someone who likes to talk to strangers but I‘m usually not! 6y
Chelsea.Poole @Kaye lol! You sound like my mom!! She loves chatting with anyone 😊 6y
Erinreadsthebooks It's a need to know issue 🤷🏼‍♀️. I usually end up having great bookish discussions with complete strangers. 6y
BittersweetBooks Ha! I do the same on planes and metro rides 😳 6y
Chelsea.Poole @Erinreadsthebooks it‘s even nicer when you like the same books as completed strangers...book soul mates 😍 6y
Chelsea.Poole @BittersweetBooks I can‘t stop myself, no matter where I am! 6y

1. Whatever I‘m reading at the moment. I always take a ton of books to the beach.
2. Sand-dollars
3. “The Library” at Turks and Caicos. Yes, it is really called “The Library.” Hubs lost his wedding ring while snorkeling there. Luckily I‘d bought him a new one for our 25th anniversary

Ogunquit Beach is the best beach.

callielafleur Yes!! My favorite vacation spot. My family rents a house on Moody Beach every year, just up the beach from there. Is stuff in town open? 6y
Jen_Reads @callielafleur it looks like places are open! There‘s so many people there today. My uncle used to own a home here, but sadly he sold it last year. 6y
callielafleur @Jen_Reads I went to Rye (NH) on Wednesday and it was bonkers. I bet they're loving the early season. Now I want to go to Barnacle Billy's for a rum punch on the deck! Enjoy!! 😎 6y

@Reecaspieces given that my beach probably looks like this today, I probably won‘t be back there until June!

Reecaspieces Looks lovely!! 6y
CocoReads It is lovely but it‘s 30 degrees here and I imagine lakeside it‘s even colder. What with the wind that comes screaming off it. Hoping my hub, who works just north of there, doesn‘t have to do anything on the beachside today. 6y
CocoReads He (the hub) doesn‘t share my love and fascination with the water. Despite the fact that when I met him, he was in the Navy! 😂😂 6y
Reecaspieces @CocoReads oh I feel you. My hub hates the beach. I am with a friend. 6y
