Reader's Choice -- Christian Fiction

GIVEAWAY


It's time to help me plan my New Year reading (and future giveaways) by recommending new releases (publication dates January, February or Mach 2019) and you have a chance to win one of the books you recommend! Remember to read all the details before entering!


IT'S CHRISTIAN 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 Christian Fiction genre you would like to win.


Christian Fiction

Any genre, including previous selections you've made on other days and also for specific genres not already covered -- like Novellas, Women's Fiction, Speculative Fiction, Sci-Fi etc.


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 
January, February or March 2019
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
(too hard to keep track of due to 
# of responses)
NEW - entrants must submit their own selections 
(not piggyback on someone else's logon) - NEW
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 
Saturday December 22 2018

    1. Did a little research on Ms. Yttrup's last book 'Invisible' just for fun and it got almost all 5 stars out of approx. 250 reviews! Guess she's one to keep on our radar.

      Delete
    2. Well, that definitely sounds intriguing. How did we miss Ginny's books? Putting a star next to this one on my list. Good luck, Diana!

      Delete
    3. Thanks, Kav! I'm not very brave about trying new authors and do so very tentatively. I tend to stick with my faves for the most part. I think I'm the only Christian fiction reader/reviewer who has never read Ronie Kendig's books. Please no tomato throwing, y'all. lol

      Delete
    4. Diana, I haven't read any of Ronie's books either so you aren't alone!

      By the way, on a side note, tomato juice is good if you get sprayed by a skunk. 😆

      Delete
    5. Trixi, good to know I'm not alone!
      haha Hopefully I won't need the tomato juice, but in the South one never knows. ��

    1. Here's a bonus just for you Kav, since no one seems that have mentioned it :)

      The Warrior Maiden by Melanie Dickerson releases Feb 5th. I thought you might want to add it to your list ^_^

      Delete
    2. Eeeeeppppp -- Melanie Dickerson's Mulan retelling is coming out!!!! Eeeeeepppp!!! Thanks for sounding the alarm, Samantha.

      Your first choice sounds interesting -- a bit out of my comfort zone but a series I'd like to try. I'm figuring since it's speculative, it would be best to read the books in order? One of my goals for 2019 is to give some Enclave Publishing books a try. Good luck, Samantha!

    3. It follows the same character all throughout the series. So, yes, it would be best to read them in order :)
