Reader's Choice - Amish Fiction

GIVEAWAY

It is time to fall in love with new books!
To harvest a bushel of new reads!
To rake in more novels for TBR piles that will leaf us breathless.

And that means it's time for another Reader's Choice Week!!! Here's how it works: You recommend Christian Fiction with release dates in October, November or December 2018 (up to three a day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it's a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.

IT'S AMISH FICTION 
GIVEAWAY DAY!

To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the book(s) in the Amish Fiction genre you would like to read.

Amish Fiction

A full-length story or novella collection where the hero or heroine (or both) are Amish OR the story has significant Amish involvement with Amish secondary characters and Amish community. Can be historical or contemporary and may cross genres such as YA, suspense etc. and may include dual timelines.

How does it work?

Easy peasy! Make recommendations in the comment section each day and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!

Publication dates must be
October, November or December 2018
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions a day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier for me to tally)
No email entries this week
(to hard to keep track of 
due to # of responses)
IMPORTANT: entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on somebody else's login) IMPORTANT
Open to International Readers
I'm all about spreading the good news
about Christian Fiction
all over the globe!

It's helpful if you include your email (using AT and DOT instead of @ and . to protect yourself from spammers) but you only need to add it to one of your comments (per day.) If you choose not to include your email then it's up to you to contact me if you are a winner.

Draw will be held and winner announced on
Sunday September 16 2018

    Hits three categories, suspense, Amish and Christmas, has to be good, right?

    1. I heard on the news that the hurricane has been downgraded to a 2 but maybe we could pray it down to a 0? Praying for you guys -- wild weather like that isn't something I've ever experienced or had to prepare for so I can't even imagine = outside of books -- what it's like.

      Tracey -- I do so like when a book comes genre loaded -- Christmas, Amish, suspense sounds like a winner to me! Good luck!

    2. Kav, Thank you so much for showing us how to use an advanced search with after date... That's where I found it!

    3. Glad it worked for you -- and especially thankful that Melissa and Carrie shared their inside strategies.

    1. You can't go wrong with Suzanne Woods Fisher whether she's writing Amish or Quaker!

      It doesn't seem like there are that many Amish books coming out this time round. Must do my own checking by fave authors. Good luck, CC!

    1. Sqqqueeeecccchhhhh! (that's a squeal of screeching proportion!) I LOVE Rachel J. Good and had no idea that her next book is coming out so soon. I'm totally jazzed! And I'm glad you reminded me of Kappy King -- I meant to get the Puppy Kaper because -- hellooo -- puppy in the title and I love a cozy msytery. And now there's a second book coming out as well. Woot! Good luck, Trixi!

      Delete
    2. I thought you might like that one Kav! It's actually the second one in the Love and Promises series, the first being The Amish Teacher's Gift. As for the Kappy King one, there's the Pickle Kaper one in between these (June 2018). In case you haven't read these or knew about them. :-)

      Delete
    3. Rats, I'm soon to be three Kappy King books behind? Gah!!!!!!!

      Delete
    4. Don't feel bad, even though I have the one book, I haven't read it yet. So I'll be behind as well!

  24. Amish Reader's Choice would not be complete without a Shelley Shepard Gray story!

    1.) His Promise by Shelley Shepard Gray

    I'm just kind of bummed that they switched from softcover to mass market paperback on this last(?) book of the series. Why do they do that? It messes up my bookshelf continuity!! Lol.

    1. Yikes -- I didn't realize that about the mass market paperback edition of His Promise! I shelve those ones at the very end of the very last shelf and I hate breaking up a series but I can't stand the break in precision on my shelves. lol Good luck, Terrill!

    1. I think it's an easier introduction when you read Amish historicals because their life style isn't really all that different from everyone else -- just that they keep themselves separate really but it seems to be easier for non-Amish fans to relate to Historical Amish characters. Good luck, Patty!
