January Giveaway -- Week One

 

Thanks for making this another fun week of bookish fellowship! My not-so-little TBR book is bursting at the seams now and we have so much great reading ahead of us. I'm starting the New Year off right with a brand spanking new 2021 release...see below--waaaay below in the Looking Ahead to Next Week section...but first we have some business to attend to.

Before we start with the giveaway announcements, lets reflect on the most requested book in each genre. Just a bit of nerdish bibliophile trivia but I can't seem to help myself. :-)

Tidewater Bride by Laura Frantz

The Curator's Daughter by Melanie Dobson

And wait -- it's not quite over yet. I started this new category last RC week. The Vanity category -- where I chose my favourite cover for each genre and then draw from the names of the readers who entered them...a kind of draw within a draw. Hope that makes sense. Here are those cover-love winners:

HISTORICAL

Love the attention to detail and
the exotic blend of east meets west which

seems to reflect the story within

WON BY TRIXI

CONTEMPORARY

Honestly, that porch just beckons

to me. "Come, sit a while. I have

a story to tell you."

WON BY JACKIE SMITH

SUSPENSE / MYSTERY

Love the retro vibe and sharp

colour contrast to this cover. 

And love how each book in

the series compliments the others.

Plus -- dog alert!

WON BY LADY SNOW ANGEL

AMISH

Love the stark contrast of

that wintery wonderland and the

jewel tone of her dress (even if she

should be muffled up in the standard black

coat and bonnet. lol)

WON BY TRACEY HAGWOOD

And just because we've come through a really terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year I decided to do a bonus giveaway for the 100th entry on genre days the count went that high. (Why 100, you ask? Why not, I reply. I might be a tad giddy after all the tallying number crunching!)

HISTORICAL 100TH

WON BY PAM K.

CHRISTIAN FICTION 100TH

WON BY BOOKS ARE A BLESSING (JOY)

LAST HURRAH FOR 2020 100TH

WON BY TERRILL

Phew! That's another RC wrap...until the spring anyway. I'll send winners an email stating their book win, publication date and requesting a mailing address (or email addy if you prefer ebooks) so that I have everything ready for release day. Then I will email you once again when the book has been ordered.

Gah! I am in the throes of 

indecision over what to read next.
