Reader's Choice -- Contemporary Romance / Fiction

 
GIVEAWAY

IMPORTANT EDIT: Due to an ongoing problem with issues some people are having with posting comments on blogger, I'm opening up all the Reader's Choice Week giveaways to email entries as well, however, if you can post in the comments please do  It's 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 reading  lists! (Santa's going to what an early heads up.)

Reader's Choice Giveaway
Fall into Books Edition

So, here's how this thing works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION titles with release dates in October, November or December 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 CONTEMPORARY 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 Contemporary Romance / Fiction genre you would like to win.

Contemporary Romance / Fiction -- a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period after1980. 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
Oct, Nov or Dec 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 permissable
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 October 1 2022

  1. Good morning all! Going to post my 1st two choices & wait to see what the others pick before I choose #3. I've been waiting seemingly forever for this one!

    1) A Seaside Wonder by Melissa Tagg (Oct 4)
    That cover!! Eep!!

    ReplyDelete
  2. 2) The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright - Oct 11
    (dual-timeline)

    1. Good strategy, Diana. You're always good for spotting the new Courney Walsh books and that one has a stunning cover! Though, after watching the coverage of the storm they had in the Maritime provinces this weekend (entire houses were swept out to sea!) I don't think I want to live that close to the ocean! Good luck!

      Delete
    2. Ugh, me neither, Kav! The beach is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. That one was by Melissa Tagg, but interestingly enough I just did discover a new Courtney Walsh book! LOL You read my mind! So my 3rd choice...

      3) Merry Ex-Mas by Courtney Walsh (Oct 25)
      What a fun looking book!

      Delete
    3. Bwahahaha! Melissa Tagg, right. I have Courtney Walsh on my brain because I am trying to decide between two of her books from my library haul. So, should I read Is it Any Wonder? or What Matters Most? Any love triangle trigger warnings for me? lol

      And that Courtney Walsh Christmas book looks super cute -- as in the cover, bet the story is angsty though. :-) Good luck, again!

      Delete
    4. I enjoyed both of those books & don't remember any LTs at all. Just close your eyes & pick one! You can bet Courtney's Christmas book is angsty, but I like it! Just as long as it's the characters' angst & not mine. And it all gets worked out in time for a Merry Christmas to all!

      Delete
    5. lol -- yes, angst in fictional lives is much more entertaining than in our personal lives.

    1. Eeeeppp -- you found a treasure trove here, Tracey. First, super cute cover for the Deep Haven Anthology. I think we're going to have to do a fave Seasonal cover category this time round in the giveaways.!

      Super excited that Joanne Bischof has a new series coming out...especially since it's indie and it says a paperback will be available as well. yay. And I'm squealing over a new Wishing Bridge book coming out next month. It's only in Kindle right now but her other books came out in paperback so here's hoping. Good luck, Tracey!

      Delete
    2. I read on Ruthy's FB page it would be out in paperback, it's an amazon thing, they don't let the paperback show up until release day for some indies.
      I'm excited for the Christmas anthology too and love the cover 💕

      Delete
    3. Here you are with another bibliophile scoop. Now I don't have to live on pins and needles wondering if an indie book is going to be published in paperback. Strange that Amazon doesn't want the paperbacks to show up...they could be missing out on preorders. Humph

    2. Sorry for butting in, Rachael, but A Seaside Wonder is published by Larkspur Press & am pretty sure it'll be out in pb. The 1st in the series was. Ok, butting back out. 😂

      Delete
    3. So, is Larkspur Press a real publisher or the author's personal brand? I can never tell these days. I'm anticipating it will be out in paperback as her other ones are and now that Tracey explained that weird Amazon thing I'm more hopeful then ever.
