Beautiful weather, wearing swim-wear, Live on the Levee, summer activities
I’m a teacher, so I’ll miss the quiet and unstructured time.
This may sound crazy but I’ll miss the summer smells. Since I became sick the senses I use to take for granted are now more sensitive. I look at it as God’s way of telling to “stop & smell the roses”.
The smells of summer are similar to that of spring but the air just seems to smell sweeter with our gardens (vegetables & flowers) & fresh cut grass.
I like to hang my clothes outside instead of in the dryer. Thank you for the contest.
I’ll miss the extra time with my kids, eating watermelon on a hot day, and reading in the shade of the porch.
On the other hand, we get fall foliage, football, and reading in my cozy chair.

So hope whoever wins appreciates your wonderful writing. Since Judith McNaught hasn’t pub in years, you are my go to author.
I’ll miss sleeping in! (I’m a teacher.)
That’s actually a tough question. I love winter. I guess the thing I’ll miss most is sitting by the Arkansas River with my dog for hours watching the barges go by and just watching the people and wildlife. And reading good books on my iPhone.
I will miss the longer days, but not the heat!!
The longer days.

I love Dinosaur Valley in Glen Rose! We used to live in the DFW area and went there all the time. Great place.

Summer weather aka heat doesn’t hit here until Fall, so I have nothing to miss yet!
I won’t miss TOILING outside in BROILING 100+ temperatures! Moreover, since I retired, I am surprised how one season just slides into the next seamlessly. In this instance, however, that pile of reads looks like a wonderful transition into the less yard demanding Fall! I see myself propped up on pillows reading away…..a non-Summer vacay! Pleeeeeeze pick me! Thank you for this opportunity!

Amazing! Thank you for the chance. 🍀😍🍀📚🍀😍🍀📚
Summer is not my favorite season. I truly love Fall. But, I will miss the extra daylight hours.
Great giveaway!! Thanks for the opportunity.
As much as I dislike the time change, I’ll miss the longer days. I feel more energetic in daylight hours. There’s more time to get tings done but more especially time to lounge beside the river, fishing pole in hand.

I will miss my trips to the beach.

The sun and being able to go to the pool/beach with my little man (my son) who is a total water baby.
I will miss the how light it is out in the evenings and “summer hours” at work. During the summer our work day ends at 4pm (after August 25th our work days goes back to ending at 5pm). Just leaving work one hour earlier each day makes it feel like I am working a half day! Especially since it is still light out when I get home!
Can’t believe we are only a few weeks away from the kids going back to school. I will miss the grandkids coming over to swim and the relaxing mornings sitting outside with a cup of coffee and a book to start the day

I’ll miss the possibilities of going anywhere with my children, whenever we want. We’ll still be able to do it, just through books for the rest of the year. It’s a lot cheaper. 😉

Summer has been a bummer. I’ve been fighting breast cancer, so radiation is the normal for me now. I will get better!
What I miss about summer are the beaches and barbeques with my families.
I live in a small community that has a community pool. I’ll miss hearing the diving board bouncing, the lifeguards’ whistles, and the kids’ laughter.
The cool summer nights…

I am anxious to read the latest –devil in tartan !

the sunshine!
I miss the whole thing it seems to have flown by I can’t believe it is time for school again.
Summer is my favorite season and I will miss the long days which never end, balmy evenings and beautiful sunshine. I still dream of summers long ago when I went on vacation with my family to a lake and enjoyed this simple getaway. I pine for those summer.
I like wearing summer clothes and not winter ones. They tend to be more colorful and easier to wear. I will miss wearing them
What I’ll miss most about the summer is seeing all those beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. No thanks to the scorching heat, though. Lol.
I will miss my family members who are teachers going back to school and my grandchildren also going back to school. There will be no more afternoons hanging out at the pool with them.

I will miss seeing my son more often. He is a teacher and he went back to school!
Loved all three books of the Highland Groom series, and look forward to the fourth. I borrowed the first two books of Suddenly series from library, but purchased ebook of Suddenly Engaged and just started reading it.
I will definitely miss sleeping in and going to classes at the gym in the morning. It’s so much harder to go after a long work day.
hanging out with family
Excellent giveaway! Thanks for sharing. I have been a fan for years.
I’m sending two boys to college this year, but I’ll still have one at home. I’ll miss spending time with my boys,
Sleeping in, tank tops, shorts, flip flops.
Thank you for the chance to win this amazing prize.
It is winter here in Australia; I am on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, but we have really had only a few days of actual winter. Most days I have worn t-shirts and shorts! It does not bode well for summer this year – I have a feeling that it is going to be long and hot. The heat isn’t so bad, but the humidity nearly kills me! Just about the only good thing is the daylight hours will be longer.
I will miss hanging out at friend’s pool (because the temps here are ridiculous) with a great book, including yours Julia and just relaxing and letting my mind relax and smile! Thanks for making your readers happy and wanting more!
I’ll miss not having to worry about a snow storm!
I’ve already started teaching for the year. What I miss most is sleeping in and reading the day away.
I will miss the warm weather. I’m not ready for the snow to come.
This is such a beautiful bag
I am happy! Today my baby boy is 5 already!!!
I will miss sleeping in and lazy days with my kids!
I will miss my beautiful garden. I love setting on the porch with coffee and a book.
What will I miss most about summer? The longer daylight hours. Who a I kidding? I’ll be delighted for it to be dark when I go to bed (as I am an early to bed person). I think it’ll be reading on the back porch in the sun. Love the feel of the sun on my skin as I read.
I’ll miss the long days of daylight.
I was looking for a new author and came across Julia London books and decided to give her a try. Boy am I glad I did. Love her books.
It’s going to be the heat as soon as the first winter storm blows in
The thing I will miss the most about summer will be watching all the kids enjoy the swimming pool, lake, & splash pads that we have visited this summer.
Being outside in the sun.
No school
I’ll miss the warm weather and sitting outside in a comfy chair reading a book and relaxing
I’ll miss spending so much time with my daughter.
What I’ll miss most about summer are my early morning walks. I walk three times a week. I get out early (well, early for me) before it gets too hot and walk about 3 – 4 miles each day. Once the cooler weather sets it, I’ll have to walk later in the day when the day warms up. RAD (rheumatoid arthritis disease) doesn’t like to colder weather. Sweating I don’t mind !
Wow lovely had with treats your the best book friend
I look forward to the availability of “Devil In A Tartan” preorder version for Kindle!!!
If I won, I’d like a signed copy of “Wild, Wicked Scot”. Actually, it would be nice to have a real wild, wicked Scot — but guess I’ll have to settle for the book…..
I actually won’t miss too much….maybe the grilling out? Fall is actually my favorite season so I’m looking forward to it!
Thanks for your offer!
Any of your books would be great! Miss swimming. Not the heat
I love that duffel bag!!! Especially stuffed with books!! Nothing could be better!!
Thanks for the chance
I will miss fishing the most at the end of summer.
I LOVE that bag! And the books…swoon…Julia I can’t decide which I love more – your contemporaries or your historicals – so I’ll just keep reading them ALL.
Best,
Vacation. Summertime is usually when we go abroad. This year, we went to Scotland and Ireland and had a great time.
Thanks for the chance!
Not enough beach time!
I am also going to miss taking long walks and visiting with the neighbors.
great goodies!!
Looks like an awesome giveaway, I would love to win.
Thanks so much for the chance.
All the reading I have done to keep from thinking about the heat!
I will miss the lack of snow and sleet the most.
Long summer nights. My fav thing about summer is that it takes a REALLY long time to get dark. It’s nearly 11pm-11:30pm before fireworks show on 4th of July. Makes for the perfect bonfire nights
The fun adventures I’ve had traveling.
I suppose the only thing I’ll really miss are the longer days of sunshine. It’s been a hot, fire-prone summer. The last couple weeks the air quality has been so bad due to all the wildfires in the area. I’m ready for fall. 🙂
To be honest I don’t think I will miss the summer at all., I’m not a hot weather person. But if I had to pick one thing it would have to be the grain trucks that go by my window.
I’m gonna miss the weather. I’m not ready for the cold
I will miss the fresh home-grown vegetables that I get at my wonderful Farmer’s Market,or from generous friends! I also miss the sun being out late, hate driving in the dark.
Not having to work on Sundays. The library I work at is open on Sundays’ during the school year. Having a whole weekend off is great!
I will miss the early sunrises and late sunsets! I like the days long, I feel more motivated to get more done!
I will miss the slowness of summer most. With two children in school, I am always rushing around. And with all the activities and functions they have, weekends and breaks are spent preparing for the next thing on a very long list.
Having time to read in the morning
The thing I will miss most about summer is being able to spend uninterrupted time with my grandkids!
You know, Julia, it’s hard for me to miss summer because Fall is my most favorite time of year. By August, I’m ready to say goodbye to summer!
Your August giveaway is perfect timing. Once the cooler weather comes, reading on the deck or front porch is a heaven- sent joy!
BestWishes,
Mary

I will miss getting up late and hanging out with my children.
great looking prize pack
I’m going to miss the flowers and the smell of fresh cut grass.
I will miss the warm days sitting in my lounger reading and listening to the birds in the early morning. As winter comes, I will be inside near the fireplace curl up with a hot coffee and wishing it was summer again. 😊
I will miss all the daylight!
I’ll miss the grandkids sleeping over so frequently.
I’ll miss sunny, Sunday afternoons sitting on my deck…drinking wine and reading a Julia London romance.
I will miss the warm weather & camping with my family. What I WON’T miss are the bugs! Lol
Now, that is something special that I would love to take with me for my reading holiday!
Taking trips with the kids.
I’ll miss siting on my porch overlooking the lake and reeading all my Julia London books
What I will miss most is how light it was so late at night.
I believe I’ll miss the lazy days. I only have one or two things to do and then I’m done. I’ll also miss going to the beach; I don’t think you ever get enough of the beach.
Sitting on the porch in the breeze and staying light outside till 9:00!
The lighter evenings, I would say sunny weather but living in the U.K. we often don’t see many really hot days!
Wow- what a pkgfor your readers. Thanks for the opportunity.
This would be the best way to finish off the summer! I always enjoy your work!
Being able to spend time in the park reading under a tree (Central Park ) and feeling as if I’m thousands of miles away.
I will miss the long days of sunlight. I hate waking up in the dark and going home from work in the dark!
Of course I will miss being warm and seeing lots of color since we have winter here 2/3’s of the year. Just about.
I enjoy and will miss spending time at my family’s cabin.
I will miss sitting on the deck reading a good book.
Reading good books on my screened-in porch with my two cats for company; fav part of summer!!
I would love to win that! Unfortunately I’m in Canada, but I would be happy with the amazon gift card too! 😊
I’ll miss sleeping in ☺
That bag is adorable!
Free time to relax and read. Summer is my busiest season. As a costume hobbyist, summer marks a LOT of conventions. Fun but exhausting, especially when you work them. Not complaining, but I do miss just relaxing with a good book.
I’m not a huge fan of summer, but I am extreamly excited for fall!
I will miss going to the lake – I learned to kayak this summer! 🙂
I love sitting on the deck with a good book and a nice summer breeze blowing. I’ll miss looking out over the green pasture under a sunny blue sky and just thinking “ahhh.,.this feels so good.”
I really love your books and this is an awesome giveaway.
Sunshine until late evening!
THE WARM WEATHER AND VISITS OF RELATIVES.
I will miss the outdoor swimming pool.
I’ll will miss having the summer off! I go back to work in 3 weeks as a teaching assistant in a special education classroom.
Wow, great giveaway opportunity . Thanks Julia. Have a great week.
Almost forgot. I will miss the beautiful sunshine, all the flowers and laying in a hammock reading. Winters here are so gray, bleak and depressing. Also the family barbecues with family.

All the extra time I get to spend with my older daughter since she starts 4th grade this year

I’ll miss the warmer weather & enjoying BBQs to chow down on seasonal foods during the summer. being able to go out more not worrying about frigid temps!!
Long summer days😜
Being with family.
I love the highlands. My greatest wish is to go there one day. In meantime I just read about them.
I will being able to spend time with my grandchildren whenever I want. It’s so much easier to spend one on one time with them during the summer. There are seven wonderful ones.
With the new 15 ft of bookshelf space we added I’m sure I could find a home for these lovely books.

Would love to win this beautiful bag with any books that you can spare to go in it.
I always miss the longer days. And watermelon margaritas
Fresh produce and warm weather.
I’ll miss my kids theatre program at the community theatre! 🙂 I directed “Dorothy in Wonderland” with the 8-13 year old crowd this year and my husband is currently directing “Dracula: the Musical?” with the 13-19 year olds. I love our summer theatre!
What I will miss when summer I over is going camping and hiking. Although I do like doing that in the fall also.
I will miss the warm weather and going camping.
What GREAT books to be given away!!!! I think what I will miss most is the longer days and the opportunity to read in my rocking chair on my back patio. Colder weather will be moving in way too soon. Thanks for the chance!!
Lazy days by the pool. I’m not a fan of the heat, but I do love reading by the pool!
I will miss the “no-snow” opportunities.
I’ve already missed most most of the summer because of being in the hospital for ten weeks so I’m going to try to enjoy what’s left of it the very best I can. I’m walking with a cane now so I am so not looking forward to winter’s slippery surfaces. Enjoy what you have now is my new motto.
My youngest being at home..he has now gone back to school and, boy oh boy, do I feel the loneliness!
Love to get the bag and the books to share
I will miss the longer days and the Birds chirping at 5:30am..lol
Swimming in the pool and family bbq’s . Warm evenings on the porch.
And going Camping , doing some fishing ..

I will miss the heat! Give me 90+ degrees anytime!
Wonderful contest thank you for the chance to win
Have a great week

What I will miss most about summer is the later sunsets, I love being able to sit outside on the porch reading after dinner. It feels like it is still early even when it is 8 PM because the sun is still out.
I will miss my family meeting us at our lake house in the mountains.
I will miss summer weekends at the beach with nothing else to do but to read!
Love your books. Can’t wait to read about Auley.
Reading in my sky chair on the balcony surrounded by lush flowers and my tribe of black cats.
Being able to read all the time & do the school things with the kids
I’ll miss sitting on the porch for dinner with the birds at the feeder just beyond the railing.
What will I miss most about this summer in particular? All the bloody rain we’ve had!! We were already over the norms when July started, and that put us way over the norm for the year! I was starting to look for an ark, at one point!!
Actually, I won’t miss all that rain at all – I just didn’t proofread my comment before hitting send!
Sitting in the warm sun!
I’ll miss going to the beach and frolicing in the water.
I will miss the long days of summer. I like it light at 9:00 pm.
I’ll miss the time with my boys! They both start high school this year!!
Love all your books and looking forward to the 4th edition of Highland Grooms series.
Less traffic going to work 🙂
I’ll miss the times my daughter and I spent together getting ready for her wedding in September.
I hate cold weather… so I would say the warm weather!
I’ll miss having both of my kids home. Our son starts college, across the country, at the end of August. The house is going to be so quiet!
I live in Austin Texas we are now facing another week of temperatures over 100 degrees. So, this summer, I will not miss staying in the house in order not to melt into a grease spot. I will not miss needing to water my outdoor plants often because otherwise they will become brown and crunchy. I will not miss nights when the temperatures remain in the 90’s until 10 PM. I normally love the heat of summer, but this has been ridiculous.
The heat
The longer days .More time to spend outside
Love contests and love your books. Win-win.
All that extra time with my grandsons, they stay so busy during the school year.
Oh, I don’t know… I’m more of a winter person. I read some great books this summer, though, so I’ll miss that feeling of discovering them for the first time.
Please enter me into your contest for this very generous giveaway.
I will miss having the summer off, relaxing, reading, and spending time with my kids. Back to work for me.
Looking forward to reading Suddenly Dating and Suddenly In Love – just got them! Thanks for the contest opportunity.

warm temperatures and all
the happy sunlight!
I miss the beautiful sunny days which last forever.
I cannot wait to read more Mackenzies! And this pile of books looks awesome. I see several I’ve read and even more that are in my virtual TBR pile. Thanks!
Can’t miss one of your books! They are all great t!
My vegetable garden.
I’m going to miss the brilliant colors of all the blooms….both flowers and vegetables! Always do! 🙁 I’ll be missing the robins, too, as they decamp for warmer climes…:(
i’ll miss the long daylight hours.better to read by.
The warm weather!!!
I will miss the warm weather and having more daylight hours.

The colors
I will miss the warm weather. We have been having ‘staycations’ this summer, and I will miss that.
Yeah, a new book. I can’t wait to read it.
I’ll miss dressing lightly!
The long lazy summer days when I can crawl into my lounge chair outside and enjoy some iced coffee and a good book.
Definitely the warm weather. I love summer

I will miss the additional time in my morning routine, which is 45 minutes. I will make up for it on the weekends with my book reading at the beach! Happy Summer! 🙂
Vacation time
I will miss all the fresh fruit and veggies!!
Julia, Suddenly Engaged was a great book and I very much enjoyed reading it. Also, I am anxiously awaiting the new Highland Groom book. Keep up the good work!!!! You’re the best. Amelia
All the green. I hate when the trees lose their leaves.
We had a heat wave here in St Louis. Temps hit 108 with much higher “feels like” temp. I will not miss the heat. I am looking forward to Fall!
Your books are excellent
You’re the best. Keep writing.
Miss this summer? I don’t think that 😅… well this month is terribly busy with full work, less time to sleep and less time for myself (I can’t read so much or do whatever thing that I’d do).
But if I think in July I can say that is one of my favorite months. It’s my birthday, the festival on my town and I the summer is beginning so is not so bad (the summer where I live is a crazy).
Have a good summer!
