I didn't find a whole lot of Amish when I went hunting, but found enough for three entries! Since I have the first of Amish Bishop Mysteries, my first choice would be:
ReplyDelete#1 When the Bishop Needs An Alibi by Vannetta Chapman~ September 2017
teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
Beverly is the first Amish author I discovered so my second choice is:
ReplyDelete#2 The Proving by Beverly Lewis~ September 2017
teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
Gotta throw a little suspense in there ;-)
ReplyDelete#3: Undercover Amish by Debby Giusti~ October 2017
teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
Didn't have any of these on my list. I do now! Woot! My library has just got What the Bishop Saw in so I'll be ready for the second book in the series soon. Good luck, Trixi.
DeleteKav, I just looked on Amazon and it lists Vannetta's as an August 29th release. Whereas Christian Books lists it as a September release (that's what I went by). Do I need to choose a different one? Let me know, I'll do whatever you decide, thanks!
DeleteNo -- we'll keep it in the running. I think Christian Books goes by the publisher's release date (and I check those when I'm jotting down my info from Amazon and it definitely said Sept.) I think Amazon often gets books earlier -- not sure if they have a deal with publishers. Which isn't really fair when you think about it. Anyway it's all good. :-)
DeleteBeverly Lewis's books were what I read for Amish fiction about 20 years ago. So I will start today's choices with 'The Proving by Beverly Lewis' – Release Date: September 5, 2017

'An Amish Christmas Love: Four Novellas' – Release Date: September 12, 2017
ReplyDeletedandtdearing@roadrunner.com
'A Plain Leaving' (The Sisters of Lancaster County #1) by Leslie Gould - Release Date: October 3, 2017
ReplyDeletedandtdearing@roadrunner.com
Nothing says Christmas like an Amish novella collection, right? And I love Leslie Gould's books and this is a new series. Eeeeepppp! Thanks for the heads up. Good luck, Leslie.
DeleteThis was the most interesting Amish fiction book I came across. A main character with the biblical name of Benaniah, love that, and he's a secret admirer leaving gifts for his former girlfriend Susanna! And it's a Christmas book, love that too!
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Admirer by Laura V. Hilton 9/5

ReplyDeletetracey14567 at gmail dot com
I was just looking over my Amish bookshelf and realized I haven't read enough Laura V. Hilton and here you are telling me she has a Christmas story coming out! On my list as are the other two. I do love my Amish fiction. Good luck, Tracey. I'm having a blast this week as well. My pocketbook is wincing though! Bwahahahaha!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the fun giveaway & the opportunity to see what's coming out the rest of the year in 📚, Kav! 💜💙
dianalflowers(at)aol(dot)com
Ooooh -- a new Beth Wiseman! I have an older book of hers on my retro TBR pile. Another author I need to read more of. I'm having fun this week too --- and feeling much calmer now that I have mapped out my reading future. LOL Good luck, Diana.
DeleteI'm so glad we could help tranquilize you. Lol Reading has sure been tranquilizing me the past few days. 😧
DeleteI lost track of Beth W. for awhile when she started writing non-Amish contemporaries, but I believe she's back to writing just Amish once again.
Goodness, I don't think I even realized she wrote non-Amish contemporaries. The things I learn on this blog!
DeleteShe wrote The Promise, Surf's Up Novellas, Need You Now, The House That Love Built (all contemporary non-Amish), and a bunch of Amish stories with other authors in novella collections that I simply lost track of. Some authors can switch genres and I love it, but I had been reading Beth's Amish 📚 since day one and it was hard for me to make that transition with her for some reason.

DeleteI just realized that a Kathleen Fuller on my working list didn't release until January, so I went back to publishers and bookstores....
ReplyDeleteA Simple Prayer by Amy Clipson. Thanks! dixiedobie at yahoo dot com
Home All Along by Beth Wiseman. dixiedobie at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteA Place At Our Table by Amy Clipson. Thanks! This is a great deal of fun! dixiedobie at yahoo dot com
ReplyDeleteCC, A Simple Prayer was published in May 2015 so it doesn't count for this giveaway. Feel free to pick another title! Good luck!
DeleteLooked back more closely at ChristianBook and see it is coming out as a trade paperback on 9/5/2017; I didn't read carefully enough when I was looking at their "coming soon" group! I do apologize. Let me try an actual new release instead, to substitute! A Plain Leaving by Leslie Gould. Thanks! dixiedobie at yahoo dot com
DeleteIsn't that interesting? I've heard more Christian Publishers are going the way of trade paperbacks in order to make money. I love the bigger, beautiful covered editions we currently get with Christian Fiction so I hope it all doesn't go that way eventually. But I can totally see the need to make a profit. It will be interesting to see if they do this more with back titles -- especially in the Amish genre which is so popular. We'll just have to be careful not to buy up books we already have on our shelves. LOL Good luck, CC. I'm looking forward to A Plain Leaving as well.

Hi Janet, none of these books are new releases published in Sept - Dec 2017 so they don't qualify for this giveaway. If you want to suggest some other titles please list them each in a separate comment - ! do the tally by comment, not lists within a comment. Yes, there's a method to the madness in my rules! :-)
DeleteJust the one for me so far. I haven't really found many Amish fiction I'm interested in lately.... :(
