Reader's Choice - Retro Reads

GIVEAWAY

What's a Retro Read you ask? Any Christian Fiction novel published in 2018 or earlier. Here's your chance to catch the one that got away! Just make sure it's still in print...or in ebook format if you're okay with that. To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including title(s) of the book(s) you would like to win.

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 2018 or earlier
Christian Fiction only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions a day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(easier for me to tally)
No email entries this week
(too hard to keep track of
due to the # of responses)
entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on somebody else's login)
Open to International Readers
I'm all about spreading the good news about
Christian Fiction all over the globe!!!

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

Draw will be held and winner announced on
Saturday June 15 2019

  15. So to me the past is yesterday, right? Which means retro is in the past, right? So as I got my happy little pen and merrily started writing past reads I missed such as Wooing Cadie McCaffrey and Brunch at Bittersweet Cafe and happened to look at the post. 2018!!?? My heart went kerplunk. Not sure if I'd had a blonde moment or a senior one. Bwahahahaha

    1. LOL! Happens to the best of us, I went to both Walmart and Sam's today, went through self check, scanned everything in, went to pay with cash, and had to get help because I didn't pay attention enough to see the machine wouldn't accept cash payments....AT BOTH stores! Ugh! Maybe it's just the day! ;)

  47. I have been searching the "most anticipated Christian fiction reads" on Goodreads for several years - a trip down memory/book lane.

    Short Straw Bride by Karen Witemeyer.

    She is doing something different for her newest book release - hosting a release party tomorrow in the story's location - a very small town in northeast TX, Honey Grove. It will also include a library fundraiser. Very nice!

    1. That sounds like a great release party -- I saw the library fundraiser part and immediately thought 'what a great setting for a cozy mystery only we couldn't possibly kill off the author!" Sigh -- I've been on a cozy mystery listening binge and it's skewed my perspective some. :-) Good luck, CC!
