Reader's Choice -- Contemporary Romance / Fiction

 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! 

GIVEAWAY

Reader's Choice Giveaway
Read in the New Year Edition

Reader's Choice Giveaway

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.

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
Jan, Feb, or Mar 2023
Each day is genre specific so

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 December 31 2023

    1. Hope you got all the books out of the coach before it turned into a pumpkin -- because, of course, you didn't go to a ball for your birthday, you went to a bookstore! :-) Super excited about Lynette Eason's release -- I'm all up to date and rarin' to read. Good luck, Diana!

    2. Definitely got out the books, but left my glass slipper behind! 😳 🤴👠👑

    3. Leaving glass slippers behind seems to be a bibliophile thing. At least you're in good company! :-)

  6. I had a harder time finding contemporary, but I did have Melody Carlson's 3/7 book on my list,
    Second Time Around. Renovating a small town shop into a home decor store called Romancing the Home, looks cute.

  7. I'm going with my top suspense choice since it fits the contemp category too.
    Under Fire by Lynn Blackburn 3/7

  8. Another suspense,
    Solid as Steele, by Susan Sleeman 2/1
    A vacation on the Oregon coast paired with an amnesia victim, sounds good!

    1. Okay, first, Dear Henry, Love Edith sounds like such a fun romantic comedy! The perfect kind of wile away the winter blues read! And I'm definitely on board with your last pick -- interesting time period for the setting, 1984 and just squeaks in as a contemporary. Love figure skating and to find it paired (ha, get the pun) with suspense makes me uber excited. Good luck, Cindy!

      Delete
    2. Oh wow, you're right Kav...."Dear Henry, Love Edith" sounds like a whole lot of fun! I love a good Rom-Com every once in a while 😊 Never heard of Becca so she'd definitely be a new-to-me author. 💖 I'll probably put this one on my General CF list for the 28th!

    1. Isn't it fun to build our wish lists together? And I'm in major cookie baking mode so a full week of Reader's Choice would cramp my baking style. :-) Might as well let the anticipation linger over two weeks.

      Erin Bartels' new book sounds interesting -- another one set in the 1980s. I wonder if that's going to be the new trend? Good luck, Kathleen!
