Reader's Choice -- Christian Fiction

 
GIVEAWAY


Yeehaw!!! Summer Reading here we come!!! And that means it's...

Reader's Choice Giveaway!
Summer Edition!!

So here's how this things works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in July, August or September 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 :-(

*** I'VE ADDED A LIST OF BOOKS NOT MENTIONED YET THIS WEEK IN CASE YOU NEED SOME INSPIRATION FOR TODAY OR ANY OF THE OTHER GENRE DAYS. JUST SCROLL DOWN TO THE END OF THE POST AND YOU'LL FIND MY LIST.***

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 -- a full length story or novella or collection of novellas. Any genre, including previous selections you've made on other days and also for specific genres not covered this week such as Women's Fiction, Science Fiction, Speculative Fiction 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!

Publications dates must be
July, August, or September 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 July 26 2021

A random rambling of books not yet mentioned this week. A lot of them are indies -- I've just discovered the joys of the Inspy Romance blog and their podcast so I checked the authors they frequently mention.

    3. My reading is as random as my hen pecking approach to researching new releases. I see something I like and then "ooohhh, lookeee..." and I'm down another Internet rabbit hole. I was listening to one contemp and then, this morning I saw that a much anticipated audible release of another book was available and I couldn't get over to audible fast enough. So...

      Delete
    4. You're definitely not alone. Judging by the comments this week I would call us all Kav's random readers. LOL

    1. Eeeeeppp == Shadow is coming out so soon!!!! I'm preparing for an angsty ride!

      Do you mean Lady Cara's Loyalty? In the Ladies of Ardena series? Cause I can't find Lady Cara's Courage so I'm assuming it's Loyalty and going with that unless you tell me otherwise. What beautiful covers the books in that series have!!!! Good luck, Elly!

      Delete
    2. I was so confused by your comment. I was thinking “Loyalty? What? I know for certain it said courage!”🤔 Well, I found the problem, lol. It’s under the title “Lady Cara’s Courage” on goodreads, which is where I was looking at it, lol😅 Someone just mis-titled it there. But yes, lol, you are correct. Lady Cara’s Loyalty was the book I was meaning😉

    3. Ha -- maybe they decided to change the title after they'd already posted it up o GR.

  33. So many new books coming out that I want to read, how does one possibly narrow it down to three?!?!?

    1. The Heart of Splendid Lake by Any Clipston ~September

    I've only read two or three of her Amish ones so I'm curious as to how her first contemporary will be. I know I REALLY enjoyed Suzanne Woods Fisher Three Sisters Island series & I really hope Amy's will be as captivating!

    1. It's an impossible request, I know. :-) I always feel guilty because of the books I don't list. Ah well, our TBR lists are constantly evolving. Good luck, Trixi.

      PS: I'm with you on the Amy Clipston non-Amish contemp. Hoping it goes the way of Suzanne Woods Fisher as well. Seems like our tried and true Amish authors are genre hoping more and more.
