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."

After a few days of not really reading much at all I am hoping I can get my reading a bit more on track this weekend.

Hoping to finish off Finding Hope at Lighthouse Cove #SeriesLove2023, read Maybe In Another Life for #AuthorAMonth and #BacklistReadathon, and read the next Gabriel Allon book (or at least start it) #SeriesLove2023

If any spare moments will listen to my audiobook of Brazil, which I‘m reading for #ReadingTheAmericas2023

Bookwormjillk That‘s my hope this weekend too! 2y

Hey booklovers! This weekend I will be reading my Bible along with the #BibleBuddyRead - I‘m on Day 43! Also, I am on page 313 of 627 in The Viceroys, continuing my daily read of An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott (an ebook), The Storm Sister by Lucinda Riley (audiobook) and I started Genealogy by Mae Wood (a physical book). Wish me luck!

#weekendreading @Andrew65

I‘m still reading The Moonflower Vine, which is my #bookspin book this month. Hoping to finish this weekend. It is a slower paced book - a family saga, and at about half way through I‘m feeling invested in the characters, so the pace has picked up a bit. (I am usually a monogamous reader, so just the one book.🙂)

What are you reading, friends? ❤️📚

Okay, got it! This weekend I am still reading The Viceroys. I don‘t think I will ever be done with it. And, I have started Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston, the 3rd in her Once Upon a Con series. It‘s as fun as it‘s predecessors! Yay! Also, I started An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott, my Childrens Classic for February. I won‘t finish anything, but I‘m plugging away.

Going to finish The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston, continue with The Viceroys (which I haven‘t picked up for a few days), and I‘m going to read Ramona and Her Father by Beverly Cleary because it‘s short, funny and on my #BookSpin list!

Mehso-so

I‘m giving this a so-so instead of a pan because I was interested enough to finish it, but I didn‘t like any of the characters. They are all extremely spoiled and entitled. The mystery at the center — the death of Riley‘s husband — is wrapped up in an unbelievable manner, and the ending of the book is rushed. We‘re in the middle of a hurricane one second, and the next we‘re at the epilogue. I generally like MKA, but not this one. #audiowalk

KathyWheeler Oh, and also I went to the bookstore after my walk and got Stephen King‘s new book, (edited) 3y
Reggie I really like when you dislike the characters. 😁 And hope you enjoy the King! 3y
KathyWheeler @Reggie 😄. I was so frustrated with them! I‘ve heard the new King book is good. 3y

Now I hate the main character too, along with her daughter. I hate the trope in a lot of women‘s fiction where the two characters who are going to become romantic partners first hate each other, and they do so because they make all kinds of assumptions based on absolutely nothing and refuse to even listen to each other. If the hate is based on something the other one said or did, I can deal, but it‘s irritating when there‘s no reason. #audiowalk

I read this one pretty quickly and it did keep my attention. However, I wasn‘t a fan of most of the characters especially the daughter. I also didn‘t like the big reveal and how it was set up. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The bratty daughter behaved like a human when she was told something unpleasant. That was a surprise. I had to wait until 7:00pm before it got cool enough to go outside. The top right picture has nothing to do with books; it‘s a picture of my daughter that I really liked and thought I‘d share. #audiowalk

This book may be one of those books where I complain about the characters a lot. In this case, it‘s probably going to be about the mc and her daughter. I get that the daughter has issues, but the mother excuses all her bratty behavior by saying she can‘t tell if it‘s because she‘s just being awful or if it‘s because of her diabetes. I roll my eyes and say, “She‘s just a brat, and you enable it.” 🙄 #audiowalk

BethM Gross. Pretty sure diabetes doesn‘t cause bad behaviro 3y
KathyWheeler @BethM My husband can get irritable if his blood sugar is off, but this girl is just a rude, disrespectful brat. 3y

Riley Griggs‘ life is flipped upside down after the unexpected passing of her husband. Suddenly a single mother, Riley is about to solve the mystery of what really happened to her husband and if she ever knew him at all.

Cant put my finger on it, but I didn‘t love this book. It was an okay way to pass the time but I wasn‘t a huge fan of the characters. Some scenes were okay but unless you‘re a huge chick lit fan, I probably wouldn‘t recommend it.

I truly enjoyed ‘The Weekenders‘ by Mary Kay Andrews. Reminiscent of the southern themed romance novels I used to read as a pre-teen, ‘Weekenders‘ was the first book by Mary Kay Andrews that I have read. I finished the audio book version in a little more than a week. I would truly recommend this book as a beach read or even as a quick escape to life in the small town South. Great read.
