GIVEAWAY – a copy of ‘We are the Brennans’ and a Yehrin Tong tote bag
20th February 2022
We are delighted to be able to offer an Advance Reader Copy of We Are The Brennans by Tracey Lange (set in NEW YORK STATE) – our Book of the Month (February 2022) – and a tote bag designed by Yehrin Tong for Books Are My Bag. There might even be a little surprise as well!!
We are the Brennans by Tracey Lange:
Some secrets you keep from your family. And some secrets you keep for your family.
When twenty-nine-year-old Sunday Brennan wakes up in a Los Angeles hospital, bruised and battered after a drunk-driving accident she caused, she swallows her pride and goes home to her family in New York. But it’s not easy. She deserted them all – and her high school sweetheart – five years before, with little explanation, and they’ve got questions.
Sunday is determined to rebuild her life back on the East Coast, even if it does mean tiptoeing around resentful brothers and an ex-fiancé. The longer she stays, however, the more she realises they need her just as much as she needs them. When a dangerous man from her past brings her family’s pub business to the brink of financial ruin, the only way to protect them is to upend all of their secrets – secrets that have damaged the family for generations and will threaten everything they know about their lives. In the aftermath, the Brennan family is forced to confront painful mistakes-and ultimately find a way forward, together.

A little trip up to Scotland next weekend!
Some nice bracing walks in the Lake District with the family
No travel plans made so far for this year due to concerns about covid and the cost of living increasing.
No. No plans for any holidays this year. It will hopefully be “Costa Del Home”.
Camping at easter
Hoping to meet with some book buddies for a log weekend in September.
We have returned today from our third holiday of the year! Nothing flashy. We just get away for a few days each time in our campervan. Its like a second home to us but without all the chores and worries of every day life. (Even though we are retired we still have plenty of both) We have walked and talked for miles and our batteries are now recharged!
Lake Garda for Easter – can’t wait!
No plans yet. Maybe we will get a cheeky long weekend away somewhere.
I am still concerned about travelling long distances, so any holiday will be in the UK.
Off to the Peak District and Cornwall this year. Love holidaying in the UK, can’t wait!
Planning a trip to Ireland – seeing relatives and some if this beautiful country too
A short break to Snowdonia in November
Planning a week by the sea in Portugal
My holiday this year will be a trip to Prague for a friends wedding
If we can afford it. We would love to go to Lanzarote.
UK only so far – Scotland & Norfolk
Planning to go on a day trip to Worthing this summer if that counts to see a family friend we haven’t seen for probably a decade. That’s it but the company will make up for the short duration and am always happy to stay in England, especially when it’s near the seaside.
Unfortunately I don’t think there will be any holidays for me this year as I have just bought a new house but hopefully I’ll be back travelling next year
I’ve booked a caribbean cruise for next year – can’t wait!
Local , hop on a bus vacation.
We are planning to go to Turkey in August, as a family of 4.
We should be off on a big family holiday to Florida at Easter – can’t wait!
I’ve just got back from a two month stay in the West Midlands. I know it doesn’t sound glam but there was plenty to do and see.
planning on going to the Isle of Man for a few days soon
We are off to our favourite place in the world Fuerteventura in July to celebrate our daughter finishing her GCSEs
Off in the campervan in Spring to the Northumberland coast
Off to Iceland with the kids for Easter!
I have a weekend away to Bournemouth with the girls 🙂
Looking to go to Malta in April and Amsterdam in September!
I am hoping to get to Oz to see my only child and only grandchild!! I so hope I get this year
Keep hoping for a nice long cruise to see our friends in New Zealand and Australia but still feel the world is to unsettled to travel for a bit longer, so just a few day trips to York and Shropshire to see friends I think will be our lot.
Having recently split from my partner of 14 years, I really want to try one of those solo holidays, somewhere in Europe. Maybe Poland, not sure yet.
Looking forward to a trip to visit family around Europe when my brother comes home from Australia this summer.
No holidays booked at the moment but looking forward to visiting my boys again in London. Always lots going on and a great city to visit.
I’m hoping to go to a few book festivals this year, plus a trip to London
Hoping to travel to Jersey for my niece’s wedding
My Goddaughter is expecting ‘rainbow’ twins any time now. This will be a difficult birth, so we have everything crossed!
All being well, we shall be heading up to Deganwy, North Wales very soon, to say hello to the new arrivals in person 🙂
No plans much beyond that, although we do hope to make much better use of our National Trust membership this year 🙂
In a couple of months time we are heading to the Outer Hebrides then doing a tour, starting in the south and working our way north through South and North Uist to Lewis and Harris and finally departing from Stornaway.
My next trip is coming up in a few weeks’ time – a family wedding in Wales, a chance to catch up after not seeing them for a couple of years. No plans after that.
No plans for holidays this year unfortunately. However our son is racing motorbikes so lots of days out
I had to cancel a river cruise due to covid but used some of the refund to visit a Warner’s hotel. This was meant to be my sister’s 80th birthday present but unfortunately she became very ill so I took a friend instead. This means I still owe her a holiday and as she is happily now well enough to to travel we intend to visit Studely Castle and live it up!
We are hoping to get a week away in Aldeburgh when Spring arrives and the winds soften!
I am hoping to go on a cruise to Cuba in March
No holiday for me this year as I’m moving from a large cold old house to a small warm modern flat. However my daughters & their families are taking my darling husbands’ ashes to scatter in Malta where he was born….I’ll be there in spirit.
No plans for holidays abroad but I’m going to Llandudno for a theatre break and then Yorkshire to visit my brother.
All our holiday plans are UK based this year – a short break in London, another in the Midlands and a week in the New Forest.
We’re off to Barcelona for 4 nights in April. So looking forward to the vibrant culture, it’s colours, architecture & people and of course, some warmth from the sun.
A week on the gower peninsula in July – my puppy’s first holiday
No plans to go away but, hopefully, I will be able to get out in the garden – with a good book and a glass of wine – that will suit me fine.
No plans yet but will go to visit family in Australia pretty soon I hope x
My boyfriend is planning a weekend to Brighton!! Only our 2nd holiday away together (only been seeing each other for 30 years…)
I am thinking about either a holiday in the Canaries (possibly Tenerife, as I haven’t been there yet) or waiting a little longer & going to Croatia, which I really miss, as I haven’t been there since 2012!
I haven’t had a holiday since I went to Turkey in October 2018 & I really want to get into a warmish sea!
I’m planning a trip to Portugal with some girl friends in October, to celebrate our first meeting when we were 18… um, a very long time ago!
Currently looking at our reenactment holiday plans. Camping and time travelling, how could it be better?
We’re hopefully heading to the Mosel valley in Germany in June for a wine fest!
Heading to the Lake District next weekend (birthday treat), Milan in March and a much postponed trip to Vienna and Budapest in June (hopefully).
