January New Releases Giveaway!

It’s a Best Reads blog tradition! Celebrating the month’s new releases the first week of each month.

WHY?

Because I recently discovered that a book’s success or failure is often determined by first month sales! (Though I bet preorders play into that as well.) Publishing houses look at those stats to determine whether they’ll add on to a series or accept the author’s next manuscript! All that literary goodness hanging in the balance but for a month’s worth of sales! (This was a cozy mystery author, but I imagine all traditional publishers use the same ‘system’.) So, I thought I should do my wee little bit to promote Christian Fiction.

HOW?

By hosting a special “Hello — insert month” giveaway. It’s easy to play along. You just have to choose ONE of the January 2024 new releases on your TBR wishlist (must be Christian Fiction) and mention the title in a comment below (or email me at kavluvstoread AT yahoo DOT ca.) If your name is drawn, that January release is the book you will win and we’re one book count closer to keeping our fave authors in business.

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY AVAILABLE TO:

ebook for anyone anywhere who has an Amazon.com kindle account

US – paperback or ebook copy — winner’s choice

Canada -paperback or ebook (in form of an Amazon gift card) or audible.ca audio book (if available) – winner’s choice

Draw will be held and winner announced on Saturday January 6 2024.

  5. If fortunate to be selected, I would love the opportunity to read DOUBLE TAKE by by Lynette Eason.
    It has a release date of January 9, 2024.

  6. Oh January, here we go!
    I haven’t even read the first book in this series yet,
    but have heard so many good things I plan to very soon.

    So I’m going with The Tangled Tale of the Woolgathering Castoffs
    by Sharon Mondragon, what a great title! Jan 23rd

    Thanks Kav! tracey14567 at gmail dot com

  7. Hello January & hello, Kav! Since Sun I’ve been eating normal food! Yay! Not much, mind you, but more than applesauce & toast! I hope you’re feeling better! I told hubby book lovers can’t get enough books, just like he can’t get enough tools even though he has a garage full. I could see the lightbulb of understanding go on in his head. HE FINALLY GETS IT! lol

    Fragile Designs by Colleen Coble (love her books & have been slacking on them lately)

      1. Thanks, Kav! It feels great to join the land of the living again! Or should I say the land of the eating. 😉 Now I just need to learn to control MY eye rolls every time he brings a set of new tools through that front door. 😎

  8. Looking forward to reading a few books this month. The Foxhole Victory Tour by Amy Lynn Green is one of them. The cover of this book is intriguing. Happy New Year Kav

    1. These monthly new release posts are for only one entry (unlike the RC giveaways, which I know is confusing) so I’m going with your first choice here and deleting the other two so as not to cause any confusion. Let me know if you want to switch to one of the other titles though. good luck, Nora!

  13. Still laughing about Diane’s comment regarding “collecting” tools vs books! Hope you and fellow blog followers who have been “under the weather” are on the mend.

    The Foxhole Victory Tour by Amy Lynn Green. I still think of her as a fairly new author.

  15. Hi Kav, I hope you are feeling much better! I think I picked up some kind of stomach bug over New Year’s Day. It’s not terribly bad, but I’m staying home, so I don’t pass it on to someone else. I would love to have Denise Weimer’s A Cherished Betrothal, if my name happens to come up. Thanks for the opportunity to win a book I’m looking forward to reading.
    Blessings, Kay

    1. I think we are all so much more aware of germ spreading since COVID. I stayed home from church for two weeks because we have a lot of elderly and immune compromised members who don’t need to get sick. Especially over the holidays! Hope you are rallying, Kay. Good luck!

  19. I’d love to read Nancy Mehl’s book Cold Threat. There are so many to choose from but I’ve read so many on Nancy’s books and this one is in my list as well.

    1. Good luck, Cindy! And yes, on the mend finally! Even had the oomph to take down my decorations and do a good dusting and floor cleaning — so important not to start the New Year with a messy house. That’s an old Irish wives tale that’s been bred into me. 🙂

  26. If I hadn’t already preordered the books by Laura Frantz and Sara Brunsvold, I’d be listing one of those 🙂 But since I have, I’m going to go with one I heard about just today. Sounds really good – Of Love and Treason by Jamie Ogle.
