Well, wasn’t last week a whirlwind of bookish delight?! So many great books to add to our spring reading lists! Except, guess what? I found more! Extra titles that still need to be added to our TBRs. So, I thought I’d list them here (with very brief descriptions — usually just a tag line unless the blurb was really short) and for this giveaway you can pick one book. Add it in a comment (or in an email, kavluvstoread AT yahoo DOT ca) and if your name is drawn, that’s the book you’ll win. So, yeehaw, let’s get started on this

  4. Oh, this is a fun list. I already have Valerie Bodden’s book ordered, that has been a good series and I’ve been looking forward to this next one.

    I’ve also been toying with reading the new book by Megan Besing, a new to me author. I haven’t read the other books in this series, so I hope it will work as a standalone. I’m going to give it a try.

    Expired Hope is my pick. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Kav!

    1. Good to know you’ve enjoyed Valerie Bodden’s series. I haven’t read anything by her yet. Megan being is new to me too…this is one of those inspired by an author’s series books that Sunrise Publishing is putting out. I totally missed this series. Good luck, Tracey!

  7. Oh, I feel so book greedy. Or is there such a thing? lol Well they’re talking about neck surgery in May or beginning of June so I’ve got to build up my TBR! They all sound delightful, but since I’m southern & love that front porch cover… (Putting most of these are my wishlist as well!)

      1. There’s no such thing as greedy and books — don’t go together at all! And yuck about neck surgery. That doesn’t sound fun at all! Definitely proactive to build up the TBR pile. Good luck, Diane!

  9. Beneath a Peaceful Moon by Debby Lee sounds very interesting. Plus, I am totally unfamiliar with that author and will head next to Goodreads to research. Thank you for the opportunity. This is another great idea of yours!

  11. Is ‘The Courteous Cad’ re-releasing? I have that book (along with the previous two in the series, ‘The Affectionate Adversary’ and ‘The Bachelor’s Bargain’) and my copy (same cover!) was published back in 2009. Maybe they’re rebooting!😃
    I almost used both ‘In Feast or Famine’ and ‘Loving Lydia’ during Reader’s Choice Week, lol, so I think I’ll go with ‘Loving Lydia’ by Susan Pope Sloan here😉

    1. Ha — I just checked, and you’re right. This is a re-release. There’s a different cover from 2010. And then another one for kindle and a completely different one for the paperback releasing in May. And that one doesn’t even look every historical. Huh. I wondered why there were different covers when I was looking for a pic but just thought it was different editions not releases. It looks like a great series though. And yay, here’s your second chance at one of the books that getaway from you last week. Good luck, Elly!

  13. Can I pick one of each?? LOL! They ALL sound so good and by a few new-to-me authors. But since I absolutely adore Love Inspired Historical and I’ve been on a bit of wagon train kick (thanks to Kindle Unlimited), my choice is:

    Wagon Train Baby by Rhonda Gibson!

    Surprised?? 😂😂
