GIVEAWAY |
The BAD news is that Canada's postal service is on rotating strikes which seems to be slowing down mail delivery and my copy of The Carpenter's Daughter (which I was sure would come early this week since it's been a month since ordering!) never came. So, I had to push that review and giveaway further down the road which leaves us with:
READER'S CHOICE CHRISTMAS FICTION GIVEAWAY
(CHRISTIAN FICTION, OF COURSE!)
So, y'all can suggest up to 3 titles -- any Christian Christmas Fiction title published up until 2018...so pretty much anything in print! Eeeeeeppppp! Christmas stories get me so excited. I've got a bunch of LIS ones on my TBR pile right now...which is strange, come to think of it, since I ordered them last week and they arrived on Monday so maybe I'm pointing a finger at Canada Post when I should be frowning in Book Depository's direction. Ah well, I digress. Here's how this thing is gonna work...
YOU suggest any CHRISTIAN Christmas Fiction book
(up to three choices)
and if you win, you get a copy of the title drawn.
PLEASE make a separate comment for each title (easier to tally)
OPEN TO EMAIL entries this time round -- just make sure to send a separate email for each choice and write the book title in the subject line. Again, easier to tally.
Draw will be held and winner announced on
Sunday November 4 2018
HO! HO! HO!
HAPPY READING!

The Amish Christmas Letters by Patricia Davids, Sarah Price, & Jennifer Beckstrand
ReplyDeleteA Wells Landing Christmas by Amy Lillard
ReplyDeleteThanks Kav!
There's something about Amish Christmas stories, isn't there? Good luck, Jana Leah!
DeleteOh Kav, such great news about the laptop, and her being a new woman, lol! Cheering for you both!
ReplyDeleteSorry the postal service is acting up and you didn't get that book you were waiting on. I have it on my kindle but haven't gotten to it yet.
Maybe we can read it at the same time :)
One book on my Christmas list I am wishing for,
The Christmas Heirloom Collection
by Karen Witemeyer and Becky Wade
Thanks Kav, and enjoy those LIS's!
tracey14567 at gmail dot com
Yep -- the old dear is so frisky she practically types for me. Hopefully we are like minded or strange things may appear on this blog! :-)
DeleteThe Christmas Heirloom Collection is high on my list as well. Such great authors. Good luck, Tracey!
Oh Kav, I am soosoo happy for you getting your laptop all fixed up!
ReplyDeleteLove Christmas books, and I am anxious to read The Christmas Star by Donna VanLiere. I just started reading her recently and cannot get this one from my Library. THX, Kav.
jacsmi75 at gmail dot com
That's an author I've never read and a Christmas story sounds like a good place to get acquainted. Good luck, Jackie!
DeleteSo glad you got your computer woes all straightened out! Now you can sit in your cozy warm home and type out your reviews instead of having to brave the cold weather!

A Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson
ReplyDeletedianalflowers(at)aol(dot)com
Cold Case Christmas by Jessica Patch (does this count?) Releases in December... Wasn't sure you meant up until 2018 or through 2018. It's a blonde thing. 😥
ReplyDeleteEeeeepppp -- we get a Jessica Patch suspense at Christmas?????? That's exciting news! And yes, it counts -- right through to the end of the year though I expect the only December releases will be LIs and they'll release late November so still early enough to get before Christmas. Good luck, Diana!
DeleteThere's a few non-Christmas books releasing in December. Non-Christmas? That, too, is a blonde thing. lol
DeleteJulie K's 'The Bride of Ivy Green' & Nancy Mehl's 'Mind Games'.
Also 'Leaving Lavender Tides' by Colleen Coble. So some good December non-Christmas reads to look forward to! :)
Ooooooooo -- I forgot about Julie Klassens!!!!!! I think that will be the one waiting under the Christmas tree. A gift from my laptop perhaps, to show how grateful she is for her new lease on life! lol
DeleteYes, she's been healed and has YOU to thank for it! She totally owes you. hehe
DeleteOh Kav, I am so happy that you have your laptop friend back! I love Christmas books so I am going with The Christmas Heirloom Collection by Karen Witemeyer and Becky Wade. mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Star by Donna Vanliere mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteA Christmas by the Sea by Melody Carlson. mauback55 at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas stories as well. Comes from reading a different picture book to my daughter every day of December when she was little and has morphed into collection a few (or more!) Christmas novels each year. Good luck, Melanie!
DeleteReally want to find The Bride of Ivy Green by Julie Klassen under my tree this year. But I don't think you'd count it as a Christmas book, would you??
ReplyDeleteAlas, not Christmas fiction but I'm so looking forward to it as well!
DeleteLOL..awww, well one can hope anyway!

Delete1. "Finding Father Christmas/Engaging Father Christmas" by Robin Jones Gunn. I have a library copy of "Finding Father Christmas" on top of my books to read, it's been a few years since I last read it.
ReplyDeleteI recommend the Hallmark movie series based on the books too. The movies aren't the same as the books of course, but they are fun Christmas entertainment.
Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteJust a thought, does Canada do daylight savings time Kav?
Ha yes -- clocks turned back which gave me ample time to get Sunday's blog posted before church only I had so much ample time I squandered it away and here I am at noon. -)
DeleteKav, great news about your computer -- yay! First choice is A Tale of Two Hearts by Michelle Griep.
