| 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 CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
GIVEAWAY DAY!
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 Contemporary Romance genre you would like to read.
Contemporary Romance
A full-length story or novella collection set in present day (1980 up) May cross genres such as YA, Amish, Suspense etc and may include dual timelines.
How does it work?
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

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!

Oohhhh --- Denise Hunter and Robin Lee Hatcher are news to me! How exciting is that? I'd heard about A Sparkle of Silver from the one day October Reader's Choice giveaway we did. I'm super excited! Woot! And how organized of you to chronologically list your selections! Good luck, Diana.
DeleteYou wouldn't say I was organized if you saw my bookshelves! lol
DeleteHere's a suggestion that sounds really good for you Pepper Basham fans.
ReplyDeleteWhen You Look at Me by Pepper Basham (Oct 25)
Oooohhhh -- I've only read one Pepper Basham book and I loved it. Definitely looking for more. Adding this to my list! Thanks, Diana!
DeleteGood morning Kav and Best Readers!

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Tracey. Hope your recovery is going well! And yeeessssss to that Susan May Warren book! Finally, we'll get some answers and a whole lot of happily ever afters....puleeeeze! Good luck, Tracey!
DeleteHey Kav, yes I just had my 2 week checkup yesterday and I'm healing up nicely. I have been on a fair amount of meds, I laughed when I looked back at my picks yesterday, no howdy do or anything and no mail addy. It was early and I blame the drugs, haha. But seriously I'm better every day, thanks for the prayers!
DeleteSo happy to hear that!

DeleteWho I Am With You by Robin Lee Hatcher, Dec. She posted a few days ago that she was making a family tree spreadsheet to follow all the family members in the series, and that she was just beginning work on book #3. I think this will be a little different from some of her other more recent books, with the dual timeline and heavy focus on one family. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWait For Me by Susan May Warren, Nov. Book # 6 in the Montana Rescue series - amazing! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOn Magnolia Lane by Denise Hunter, Nov. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat insider tip on Robin Lee Hatcher's series. You know you're a committed reader when you get excited about characters' genealogy. lol Good luck, CC.
DeleteI made some queries about the best way to search for future releases and got some sound advice from Melissa Jagears (author) and Carrie Booth Schmidt (Reading is My Super Power blog)
ReplyDeleteUsing Amazon Advanced Search -- to do that (it took me a while to figure that out!lol) click on the gray tab (it says All) next to the search field to get the drop down menu and select 'books' and click search (no need to add anything in the search field.) You'll get into the home page for books and you'll see some new tabs at the top of the white space (just below the black strip) Second tab on the left is Advanced Search. Click on that.
Here's where you'll do a search by publisher -- and you have to do it one publisher at a time which is a bit time-consuming. And you have to type the publisher name exactly as Amazon as them entered. I checked that out for you so I'll add a list of publishers as they appear on Amazon below. But before I do that -- look for the pub date, month, year boxes at the bottom of the right hand column. Under pub date select 'after', under month select 'Sept' under year select '2018' -- that way your search will be limited to books published starting in October of this year. Okay so, in the publisher field type in a publisher and click the search button. Voila you'll get a list of books that will be published from October onwards. (I might have swooned a little over 2019! These lists aren't huge so they are easy to skim through -- I think the most might have been about 21 hits for one of the larger publishers. Once you've scanned those ones, click on the back button at the tip of your screen so you'll get back to the advanced search and all your info re pub date will be saved and you'll just have to change the info in the publisher field to do another search. I'll include a list of the publishers I have researched exactly as they appear on Amazon in the following comment:
Revell
DeleteBethany House Publishers
Kregel Publications
Tyndale House Publishers
Zondervan
Thomas Nelson
Faithwords
WaterBrook
Barbour Books
Shiloh Run Press
Harvest House Publishers
Gilead Publishing
Avon Inspire
Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas
Smitten Historical Romance
Waterfall Press
Multnomah
White Rose Publishing
Oops -- forgot to say that you need to select literature & Fiction under the subject field (the last one at the bottom) so you'll only get fiction.
DeleteThank you for going to all the trouble to let us know how it all works! I also searched CBD's new fall fiction online catalog (since mine hasn't come in the mail yet - ahem!) and the new releases are posted on each pg in genres...Amish fiction usually being 1st. Easy to see the book covers & descriptions, and just click onto "next" to turn to each page.
DeleteThank you Kav!!

DeleteIt looks like I'm going to parrot a lot of other readers:
ReplyDelete1. A Sparkle of Silver by Liz Johnson (Oct)
I hope this counts in contemporary, because it's more of what I would call women's fiction (?)
ReplyDelete2. Things Left Unsaid by Courtney Walsh (Oct)
I first got hooked with her writing when I had the chance to review "Life After" and then I read one other one by her. Love, love, love her writing!
DeleteAnd last but not least
ReplyDelete3. Who I am With You by Robin Lee Hatcher (Dec)
teamob4 (at) gmail (dot) com
P.S. It's always harder for me to find contemporary because I don't read a whole lot of them, except maybe Love Inspired :-)
Things Left Unsaid is tagged as both Contemporary Romance and Women's Fiction so it works here for sure. Love Courtney Walsh.
DeleteOoops...and good luck, Trixi!!!!!

ReplyDeletedianemestrella at gmail dot com
I don't see anything coming up for her -- just a book set to release in May of next year. But it looks really good -- The Printed Letter Bookshop, release date is May 1 2019 though.
DeleteKatherine Reay's new book doesn't release until next spring. The Printed Letter Bookshop (May 14, 2019)
