Reader's Choice -- Contemporary Fiction

GIVEAWAY


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 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 
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 genre you would like to win.

Contemporary Romance

A full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period after 1980 with Romance as a central theme. 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!

Publication dates must be
 October, November or December 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 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

    1. I've heard really good things about Tacos for Two -- love the colourful cover! But I'm kinda wary of Rivergap Bend -- looks like a love triangle involving 2 brothers. Eeek!!! But it's Denise Hunter so.... Good luck, Trixi!

You've reminded me, though, that I have read The Heirloom Garden by this author and really enjoyed it so I hopped on over to my library catalogue and just snagged three more of her audio books.
