But wait! It's not ever yet. The Vanity category has become a blog tradition. It's where I choose my favourite cover in each genre and then draw from the list of readers who entered them...a kind of draw within a draw. Here are the COVER-LOVE winners:

HISTORICAL
COVER-LOVE WINNER
(Imagine my surprise when my 
favourite book cover is a
Biblical Fiction selection! Gasp!
But I'm drawn to the vibrant colours
and the air of mystery about
the woman standing in
the doorway.)
WON BY ELLY

CONTEMPORARY
COVER-LOVE WINNER
(This just screams playful
and fun...and I'm not
going to lie, Pepper Basham's
name on the cover is it's own 
kind of draw.)
WON BY SYLVIA

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE
COVER-LOVE WINNER
(I seem to be drawn to shades
of blue in my book covers and
the teal-y tone in the background 
of this book calls to me. And
the silhouette of the woman
and dog scream mystery. Sold.)
WON BY LUCY REYNOLDS

AMISH
COVER-LOVE WINNER
(All that blue with the touch
of red! Plus a wintry scene with
dogs on the cover?! I'm totally in.)
WON BY LANE HILL HOUSE

And because the season is drawing nigh...

CHRISTMAS
COVER-LOVE WINNER
(Has all the elements of the
season and makes me smile.
Promises heartwarming holiday reads)
WON BY CHERYL BARKER

WAIT! Don't go away 'cause we're not through. We have another Reader's Choice tradition of picking a random number which becomes a 'just because giveaway' on the specific genre days. If that doesn't make sense, all you need to know is that it means more book giveaways! Woohoo! This time the magic number is: 22

HISTORICAL 22nd

WON BY PAULA S.

CONTEMPORARY 22nd

Merry Ex-Mas by Courtney Walsh
WON BY KATIE PFEIFER

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE 22nd

WON BY TRACEY HAGWOOD

AMISH 22nd

WON BY CINDY

That's another RC wrap up! I'll send winners an email stating their book win, publication date and request mailing address (or email if ebook is chosen) so that I have everything ready for release date. Then I'll email you once again when the book has been ordered.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK'S GIVEAWAYS:

SUNDAY
(I'll be dedicating Sundays to Christmas
reads for the next little while...as long
as my Christmas book supply holds up!)

MONDAY

TUESDAY

WEDNESDAY

THURSDAY

FRIDAY

  4. Thank you and happy reading to all! It was such a fun and very helpful week. Did it seem, perhaps, that there were more books publishing in this upcoming 4th quarter for reading or gifting than we have had since the 4th quarter of 2019? So nice to see publishing returning to more of a pre-pandemic status.
