GIVEAWAY |
June - August release date |
I'm getting ready for a summer reading blitz but I need your input to help me scout out the best new June - August releases. So, instead of reading and reviewing books this week, I'm appealing to my fellow bibliophiles for recommended summer release titles.
How does it work?
Easy-peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win the draw, you win the book you suggested.
BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!!!!!!
Publication dates must be
June, July or August 2015
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer three suggestions per day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier for me to tally)
No email entries this week
(too hard to keep track of due to the
# of responses)
Open to International readers (I'm all about spreading the Good News about Christian Fiction all over the globe!!!!!!)
IT'S HISTORICAL ROMANCE GIVEAWAY DAY!!!!!
To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title of the book(s) in the Historical Romance genre you'd like to win (and you think I'd like to read!)
Please remember to include your email, using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers. Draw will be held and winner announced on Sunday May 10 2015.
I am really looking forward to reading Sarah Sundin's Through Waters Deep releasing in August. Thanks for the giveaway! momrain(at)aol(dot)com

Lady Maybe by Julie Klassen (I'm assuming it's Christian because it's Klassen, but it's through Berkley publishing. ??)
ReplyDeleterachaeldalquist AT yahoo DOT com
I checked it on christianbook.com and it's there. I have Baker Publishing down as the publisher. I know they over Bethany House and Revell...maybe Berkley too? Anyway, definitely Christian fiction so we're good. Good luck, Rachael.

Thrilled to see how many readers are looking forward to fellow Canadian Susan Anne Mason's book. I'm jazzed to read it too. Good luck, Carole.
DeleteI didn't realize she was Canadian, Kav. That's good to know because I'm partial to English/Canadian authors, settings, etc.
DeleteYeppers...we're proud to claim her as one of ours. And of course, the Irish angle always grabs me.

ReplyDeletejafuchi7[at]Hawaii[dot]edu
The Curiosity Keeper - Sarah E. Ladd. Another June release. This one sounds amazing and I've enjoyed Ladd's books in the past. =)
ReplyDeletejafuchi7[at]Hawaii[dot]edu
There's quite a buzz here over Sarah Ladd's book. Looking forward to it as well. Good luck!
DeleteKav, have I said you lately that I love you? :) (Haha, listening to old tunes :)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I LOVE THE READER CHOICE series!
My first choice is obvious: "Lady Maybe" by Julie Klassen
janka(dot)halcinova(at)gmail(dot)com
My second choice is "The Mistress of Tall Acre: A Novel" by Laura Frantz (will be released on 09/08/15)
ReplyDeletejanka(dot)halcinova(at)gmail(dot)com
Thinking of it, it might be a September release (to me it seems like August, but can be September as well). In the case of September release, my second choice is then "Not By Sight" by Kate Breslin
DeleteMy third choice is "The Curiosity Keeper" by Sarah E. Ladd.
ReplyDeletejanka(dot)halcinova(at)gmail(dot)com
Laura Frantz's book is a September release. The number date thing is hard to read sometimes. I think the US places the order of month and day different from Europe and the UK (and Canada). Good luck with your choices, Janka.
DeleteI will pick Through Waters Deep by Sarah Sundin. She has some really good books. Maxie > mac262(at)me(dot)com <
ReplyDeleteI also choose Capture Her heart by Rebecca DeMarino
ReplyDeleteMaxie > mac262(at)me(dot)com <
Also pick Hearts made Whole by Jody Hedlund.
ReplyDeleteMaxie > mac262(at)me(dot)com <
Good luck, Maxie.
