Really, what would Christmas be without the anticipatory thrill of looking ahead at potential new reads in the New Year?!
Can you believe that the time for the last Reader’s Choice Week of 2023 has actually arrived? Where did the time go? In a flurry of reading and book browsing no doubt. So, time to once again display your ninja librarian-type skills and uncover the literary gems on the horizon because it’s…
READER’S CHOICE WEEK!
Here’s how this week’s giveaways work. You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in January, February or March 2024 (up to three suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it’a a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details before entering.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: These giveaways are available in paperback or ebook format to US and Canadian readers. Ebooks available internationally if you have a .com kindle account (US Amazon.)
IT’S CONTEMPORARY FICTION 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 Fiction genre you would like to win.
Contemporary Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period after 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 date must be January, February or March 2024
- Each day is genre specific, so only submit titles from that genre
- Christian Fiction only please!
- You can offer up to three suggestions per genre day BUT they need to be made in 3 separate comments (easier for me to keep track of)
- No email entries this time round since comments are working on WP
OF SPECIAL NOTE: IF YOU HAVEN’T COMMENTED ON THIS BLOG BEFORE, YOUR FIRST COMMENT WON’T APPEAR UNTIL I APPROVE IT. AFTER THAT YOUR COMMENTS WILL POST AUTOMATICALLY.
- Entrants must submit their own selections (no piggybacking on someone else’s log in)
- 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 30 2023
(you can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on December 30. Winners will be announced later that afternoon.)
I’m behind in my homework but my first choice is Rocky Road by Becky Wade. Indie books are practically impossible to get our library to order.

🙂 — Me too!!!! I just read the first book in her new Amish series and I’m guessing this might be an indie contemporary? I can’t find any description for the book but Amazon tags it as Christian Contemporary Fiction …no Amish. Eeeep!

This hasn’t been mentioned. What I Promise You by Liz Tolsma, January, a dual timeline story. I am searching through Goodreads’ lists and finding a number of good books that publish in April, some from authors that have not had a release in a couple of years. Interesting to look around!
