It's that time again -- when a bibliophile's fancy turns to new fall releases....and that means.....
Reader's Choice Giveaway!
Autumn Edition!!
So here's how this thing works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in October, November or December 2020 (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 CHRISTMAS 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 Christmas Fiction genre you would like to win.
Christmas Fiction
A full length story or novella or collection of novellas. Any genre as long as the central theme revolves around Christmas. Published any time in 2021 or before. *THIS IS THE ONLY CATEGORY THIS WEEK THAT INCLUDES RETRO READS AND NEW RELEASES. *AS LONG AS IT'S CHRISTIAN FICTION AND CHRISTMAS IT COUNTS!
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
2021 or earlier
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 for me to tally)
No email entries this week
(too hard to keep track of due to
# of responses)
entrants must submit their own selections
(not piggyback on someone else's logon)
Open to International Readers
I'm all about spreading the good news about Christian Fiction
all over the globe!!!!!
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 held and winner announced on
Saturday October 2 2021
I love Christmas books! This one just came up this week, but so far it's only showing ebook.
ReplyDeleteCross Country Christmas by Courtney Walsh 10/26
A Castle for Christmas by Stephania McGee 11/2
ReplyDeleteNew to me genre this year~ time travel!
Eeep!!! Eeeeeppp!!!! Hopefully both books will be in paperback format as well. I just finished a Courtney Walsh Christmas novella in paperback so I'm sure this one will too. And Stepenia's Inn series is all on audible so I'm hoping I'll be able to find that one there too. Oh -- and I llllllooooovvvvveeee the cover for Cross Country Christmas!!! Super adorable. Good luck, Tracey!
DeleteI asked Courtney if this is a novella and she said it is a full-length novel, just not quite as long as her usual books. So that's cool!
DeleteCourtney's Cross Country cover is darling! She designed it herself! She's so talented and artsy!
DeleteI loved her Christmas novella from last year! So cute!
You guys are so in the know! Love these bibliophile tidbits!

Delete1. “A Christmas Prayer” by Wanda E. Brunstetter
ReplyDelete2clowns at arkansas dot net
How interesting that this isn't an Amish novel! Looks really good. Good luck, Kay!
Delete2. “A Christmas Carol Murder” by Heather Redmond
ReplyDeleteAlthough not the typical Christmas tale, I love all versions of A Christmas Carol and hoping this one counts on this day.
2clowns at arkansas dot net
3. “The Christmas Bookshop” by Jenny Colgan
ReplyDelete2clowns at arkansas dot net
A Christmas Carol Murder and The Christmas Bookshop aren't Christian Fiction, Kay, so they don't count for this giveaway. They do sound good, though. I'll have to see if my library has them Feel free to choose two other titles.
DeleteUnder the Texas Mistletoe by Karen Witemeyer
ReplyDeleterachaeldalquist AT yahoo DOT com
This one got my eye on social media but I think only one of the stories is new -- the other two were in other collections so I'm trying to figure out if I have them in other books. This reminds me I must do that. lol Good luck, Rachael!
DeleteOh I love Christmas stories. Thanks Kav for doing these.
ReplyDeleteA Castle for Christmas Book 4
The Back Inn Time series
Stephania McGee
quilting dash lady at comcast dot net
I do too -- and I'm super jazzed about this time travel one! Good luck, Lori!
DeleteYou and Me by Becky Wade (November 2021)--it says "It's Christmas in the mountain town of Misty River!" in the description, so I'm assuming it counts. It sounds like it will be available in paperback, not just kindle (as I know you read hard copies).
ReplyDeleterachaeldalquist AT yahoo DOT com
Oooohhhhhh -- Christmas in Misty River! I'm in!!! Hopefully it will release in paperback too. Good luck, Rachael!
DeleteA Dog Named Christmas by Greg Kincaid.
ReplyDeleteUnder the Texas Mistletoe by Karen Witemeyer.
ReplyDeleteWhere Treetops Glisten by Sundin, Goyer, etc. I can't believe it is already time for our quarterly research project! This will be such a fun week. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYep, sharpen your research skills and get to work! Bwahahaha! My library has DVD movie of A Dog Named Christmas -- wonder if it's based on the book? I'm checking it out anyway. :-) Good luck, CC!
DeleteI believe there was a Hallmark movie based on the book.
DeleteI've got it on hold at my library...probably will need tissues handy while I watch.

ReplyDelete1. Joy to the World ~Carolyn Miller, Amanda Barrett and Erica Vetsch Oct 2020
2. Christmas Next Door: Four Stories of Love Found close to Home~ Susan Page Davis & Vickie McDonough Sept 2019
ReplyDeleteI love novella collections at Christmas! Good luck, Trixi!
DeleteFinally here! We just had a fabulous Homecoming church service w/ lotsa old friends, new friends, guest preacher, anointed singing, & lotsa good ole Southern cooking afterwards! The holiday eating has begun. Love the Fall, but am in constant pain when the weather cools down & my body keeps telling me...ice pad, heat pad, ice pad, heat pad... Ugh!
ReplyDelete1) A Castle for Christmas by Stephania McGee (Nov 2)
dianalflowers(at)aol(dot)com
Inquiring minds want to know what a Homecoming church service is. It sounds like loads of fun! I'm exciting for this timer travel Christmas story as well! Eeeep! Good luck, Diana!
DeleteEvery fall we have Homecoming as do many churches here in the South. Not sure if it's predominantly here or all over the USA. Its called Homecoming bc peeps who used to come to our church & moved on bc they've relocated to another town, or perhaps God called them to another work, or for whatever reason...all come back home! Also friends, family, & those who never did attend our church are all invited as well. We have a special guest preacher and singers, some folks invite Christ into their lives for the 1st time (the most important thing!), and food & good fellowship afterwards. A wonderful time is had by all, but I will say I'm pooped (as in exhausted!) Church provides meats, and the ladies provide the side dishes & desserts.
DeleteOh, that sounds lovely! I've never heard of a church homecoming here. Sometimes a church will have a significant anniversary gathering but not like you've described. Glad you had a wonderful celebration. Hope you're in bed by now!
DeleteThanks, Kav! I'm not sure what time I went to bed, but I crawled there. lol

ReplyDelete3) Holiday Hideout by Lynette Eason (this is an oldie...I think it counts?)
ReplyDeleteAnd no, if this 1 is drawn I don't want the mass paperback for $864.56. LOL!
Looking forward to a week of bookish fun!
It counts though don't expect the $864.56 copy in your stocking. Snicker. Wouldn't it be grand if the author actually got the royalties on that sale?! Good luck, Diana!
DeleteIndeed it would! I saw that & almost passed out on my fainting couch, which isn't supposed to be used for that! 😂
