Reader's Choice -- Historical 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 HISTORICAL 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 Historical Romance / Fiction genre you would like to win.

Historical Romance / Fiction -- a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period before the 1970s. 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. The celebrated Reader's Choice week! Let the fun begin!

  4. The Nature of a Lady by Roseanna M White 5/4

    New series! This isn't tagged as a suspense but it sounds like one with a woman mysteriously vanishing, pirate wrecks, and ancient legends. ( I thought you might want to think on this one before it comes up on suspense day, lol)

    1. Eeep, Eeeeepppp and Eeeeeeeppppp! This all sound fabulous and such love spring-y covers. Happy sigh. I see what you mean about The Nature of a Lady seeming like it would fit into the suspense category without being classified as such. Argh, these publishers make it so difficult to run a genre-driven giveaway. I'm thinking it would fit the mystery criteria, though soo......Good luck, Tracey! Thanks for starting us off.
