Reader's Choice -- Historical Fiction

GIVEAWAY

IMPORTANT EDIT: Due to an ongoing problem with issues posting comments on blogger using iPhones or Macs, I'm opening up all the Reader's Choice Week giveaways to email entries as well. BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, if you can post in the comments do, it's much less work for me and so much more fun for everyone to see what other readers are looking forward to in new releases. Plus we all need the info so that we can add titles to our TBR lists!!!  Oh -- and please put in your subject line: the genre, so today would be Historical Fiction, and then in the body of the email put in all three of your choices.


Eeeepppp! Let's get started on compiling those beach read lists!  

Reader's Choice Giveaway
Summer Bookfest Edition

So, here's how this thing works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in July, August or September 2022 (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.

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 1980. 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 and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

BUT YOU GOTTA FOLLOW THE RULES!

Publication dates must be
JULY, AUG OR SEPT 2022
Each day is genre specific so
only submit books from that genre
Christian Fiction books only please!
You can offer up to three suggestions
per genre day
BUT
they need to be made in
three separate comments
(makes it easier to tally)
Email entries permissible 
if you can't post a comment
entrants must submit their own selections
(no piggyback on someone else's log in)
Open to International Readers
(I'm all about spreading the good news
about Christian Fiction far and wide)

It's helpful to 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 are a winner.

Draw will be held and winner announced on 
Saturday July 2 2022

    5. Thanks, Elly! I just can't seem to be able to fit all of these good authors in! Since Covid I read slower bc it's harder to concentrate w/ the whole brain fog thingy going on. As Kav said I get distracted by books & well...everything. 🤔 But it's getting better!

  18. I have been looking around on the Baker Publishing website and on the most anticipated list of Christian Fiction for 2022 on Goodreads. Thought I had found something great, not already mentioned, re Goodreads, but the book did not fit the correct parameters.... it was an upcoming Kristina McMorris.

    The Italian Ballerina by Kristy Cambron.

    2. Yes. Not sure why it was in the CF list on Goodreads. Have read Sold, Bridge, and Edge (to shorten titles). Sold was very compelling.

    2. Oh no! Do you mean that she submitted a book proprosal and they said no? Or they won't accept anything else from her? I always thought authors went from contract to contract based on a book/series proposal. So, if they didn't like one project, maybe they would say yes to another?

      Ha, welcome late to the party, Trixi! lol Good luck!
