Reader's Choice - Contemporary Fiction

 

GIVEAWAY



Eeep!!! It's that time of year when an Avid Reader's fancy turns to New Spring Releases! And that means it's...


Reader's Choice Giveaway!
Spring Edition!!

So here's how this things works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in April, May or June 2021 (up to three suggestions per genre 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.

PLEASE NOTE: email entries are not eligible this week :-(

It's CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE / 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 Contemporary Romance / Fiction genre you would like to win.

Contemporary Romance / Fiction -- a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period 1980 onward. May cross genres such as YA, suspense, Amish etc and may include dual timelines.

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!

Publications dates must be
April, May or June 2021
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to 3 suggestions 
per genre day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier to tally)
No email entries this week
(too hard to keep track due to
# of responses)
entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on someone else's login)
Open to International Readers
(I'm all about spreading the good news
about Christian Fiction far and wide)

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're a winner.

Draw will be held and winner announced on
Saturday March 27 2021

    1. Hmmm...I'll say yes because, as you say, it starts out contemporary and without reading it we can't see how many pages are spent on contemp and historical -- all we have to go on is the back blurb. So, yes, it counts. Good luck, Lori!

    1. Oh Kay, you have me squealing! I love the Three Sisters Island series and had no idea book three was coming out so soon. And, hello, a bookshop by the sea? Gotta read that. Plus you're the first to point us in the direction of a new Amish novel. Good luck, Kay!

  7. All that Really Matters by Nicole Deese is my number one contemporary pick!

  8. I'm picking Paint and Nectar again since it's a dual timeline with contemp/historical threads!

  9. I'm curious about Love Inspired's new trade length books and want to try this suspense Rising Danger by debut author Jerusha Agen. This should be right up your alley Kav with a bomb-sniffing K9 dog. 5/25
    (so far, this is only in ebook form, hope they do paperback too)
    Thanks for the giveaway Kav and preview of all the upcoming titles!

    2. You have me hyperventilating, Tracey. Lucky I keep a paper bag handy for Reader's Choice week. Love Inspired is publishing trade length books now too? How did I not know that? And it's on audible? (I just put it on my wishlist there) I'm gobsmacked!!!! Good luck, Tracey!

    3. Okay, putting on my intrepid reporter hat. There are 4 at this point that I know of for this year. The first one is an Amish story by Jo Ann Brown, A Wish for Home 3/30 it's 277 pages so about 50 pages longer.
      2) Rising Danger 5/25
      3)The Winds of Champagne Renee Ryan 7/27- looks really good- 3 generations of women trying to Save the family vineyard in WW2 France
      4) The Gathering Table by Katherine Springer! Im really excited about this one, it's been so long since we've had a book from her! Women's fiction about multigeneration friendships a chef makes after a move to a new town for a fresh start.
      So there you have it! Start filling that notebook!

      Delete
    4. Oops, that's The WIDOWS of Champagne, lol.

      Delete
    5. Eeeeppp you deserve an award for your intrepid reporting. I have all of them in my audible wishlist now -- except for the Gathering Table but it looks like they are coming out every two months so that means The Gathering table will be September and it might just be too early to have it up on audible just yet. Yay. Thanks so much, Tracey!

    6. Yes, it's Sept. 28th, probably the reason only kindle is showing so far. But you can see the cover and summary on Amazon if you want a sneak peak 😊
