September New Releases Giveaway

HELLO SEPTEMBER!

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 September 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 September 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 September 7 2024.

  1. I’m looking forward to “Fire Proof” by Susan May Warren. I have been eyeing that series for sometime and I’m most excited for book 6 in the series. Blessedmommy3x AT gmail DOT com

  3. Has anyone ever told you what a wonderful person you are?! An amazing champion of CF?! Well, I’m going to say it!😁

    There are so many good books releasing this month, it’s hard to decide! I find my curiosity being piqued by The Lost Library by Melissa Koslin, so I’ll go with that choice.
    Thanks for the opportunity to win some great books! Have a beautiful and blessed September!

    1. Ah, thanks, Karen! I love my Christian Fiction, that’s for sure. And The Lost Library — we somehow missed that one during our last Reader’s Choice Week…at least I did. How intriguing! Almost sounds like there’s a bit of a fantasy element to it. Good luck, Karen. Oh — and for some reason only known to the cyber gnomes, one of your posts was malingering in the spam folder….have no idea why it let you post one and not the other. Ah well.

  4. I’m happy dancing it’s September, woohoo! Even though our heat index was 99 degrees yesterday, eek, I can tell things are changing and I’m ready for it. I even put out my Fall wreath yesterday 🙂

    There are so many good books coming out in September! I always wonder why publishers bunch them together like that. It makes it hard to pick what you really are wanting to read next. I have been on a Christmas book roll though and that cover of Roseanna White’s new book is calling to me. So my Hello September choice is:

    Christmas at Sugar Plum Manor: (An Inspirational Historical Holiday Romance Inspired by The Nutcracker Set in Edwardian-era England) Sept 3

    Thanks for the giveaway Kav and Happy September reading to all! tracey14567 at gmail.com

    1. It’s perfect fall weather today and I’m about to head into the garden where I won’t be breaking out into a sweat after five minutes. Yay! So many great Christmas books being released this year. Good luck, Tracey!

  7. Good morning, Kav! And hello September! I just went for my before it gets too hot walk, and it was already too hot. 😅 Ugh . . . I can’t wait till fall so I can walk in the early evenings. Anyway I’ve been waiting for this book for quite a while now and it’s probably #1 on my list along with another that releases in Oct. Thank you for a chance to win it!

    1. Eeeepppp — that was alll kinds of wonderful! So unique for a romance. I’m trying not to gloat but it’s cool up here! So cool that I didn’t have to get up at the crack of dawn to get a walk in. Just strolled out the door at nine and now I’m about to head into the garden. Woohoo! Good luck, Diane!

      1. Ooh, I’m really looking forward to reading it even more now! But who am I kidding? Denise Hunter’s books are always must reads for me.

        I’ll have to admit to being slightly jealous about your 9:00 stroll. 😏 But I’ll try not to gloat this winter when I head out the door in a light jacket & you can’t get out cuz the snow’s piled up against your door. Bwahahahaha Seriously, though, I do feel bad for you & your long, snowy winters. I know it’s hard for you to get out. Now I’m not happy about Sept or Fall. I’m depressed about you & your snowstorms! 😢

      2. I’d actually rather snow than the heat of summer. At least I can walk in the winter and exercise in my home but I was just pretty much stagnant this summer but for one early morning walk and a wee bit of gardening. At least I can bundle up for the cold and still go out.

      3. Ok, if you say so I’ll dry up my tears now. Actually, I get it bc the heat has been pretty paralyzing. I stay in way too much. Going out to the mailbox takes my breath away, the humidity is so bad! I guess that’s why Fall is such a great season. You can take a leisurely walk any time of the day with a light jacket & here in the South we do bonfires & fall fests. I tend to do a lot of hibernating though in mid-winter just like I do in the summer, but there’s always books! 😃

    1. It seems like autumn is the big release time — maybe because they are hoping for Christmas sales? But it’s also the time when we readers look forward to curling up with a good book when it’s chilly outside. Good luck, Elizabeth!

  11. I already have this on pre-order, so no need to enter me into the drawing, but Elizabeth Camden has her first contemporary romance called Summerlin Groves! (coming out on the 24th). Since it was announced pretty recently and independently published books can fly under the radar, I wanted to be sure you heard about it!

    1. Squealll!!! Thanks for sharing that, Rachael! It looks wonderful — second chance romance with a bit of mystery! Right now it’s listed only as a kindle book but I’m hoping a paperback will become an option closer to the release date. That seems to be the case with a lot of indie books. Woohoo — you’ve added to my exploding TBR wishlist!!

    1. Oohhhh, I remember loving the cover of The Blooming of Delphinium…might have to bump that one up on my priority list. And I haven’t read a Johnnie Alexander book in awhile so I need to check out When Memory Whispers. Hopefully it will release as paperback too. Good luck, Paula!

      1. To Charm a Lady is the second one of the Cartwells series…and both are absolutely must-reads!!

        I believe the one I picked is a stand-alone, if I’m correct. I just love Joanna’s writing 💖

    1. This is one of those crazy releases where one format comes out two weeks before other formats, so I’m counting it as September since that’s when the kindle edition comes out. But, if a winner wants the paperback they’ll just have to wait until October 1. Good luck, Cindy!

    1. Yikes, if your criteria for fall is that the temps go under 100 degrees, I’m staying up here in cooler climates! It’s been lovely and cool and night and jus warmish in the days. Perfect gardening weather. 🙂 Good luck, Perrianne!
