A Happy New Year for me means happily perusing websites for the first new releases coming out this winter. There’s nothing like wiling away a cold winter’s day in the company of a good book and a cuppa hot cocoa. And it’s that time again — when we get to look ahead and plot out our reading futures…and that’s where this Reader’s Choice Week comes into play.
Here’s how this week’s giveaway works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in January, February or March 2025 (up to 3 suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! BUT it’s 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 HISTORICAL ROMANCE/FICTION GIVEAWAY DAY!
To be entered in the draw just leave a comment (or 3) below, including the title(s) of the books in the Historical Fiction genre you would like to win.
Historical Romance/Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period before 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 2025
Each day is genre specific, so only submit titles from that genre
Christian Fiction books 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 WP comments are working
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 January 11 2025
(You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on January 11. Winners will be announced later that afternoon.)
Glad I am not the only one needing a bit more effort to keep track of the proper day! Also have noticed the higher prices as mentioned in comments and perhaps I am wrong, but it seems Bethany/Revell aren’t offering as many or as low-priced eBook deals for some time now. Granted, inflation, but I am finding some surprisingly huge bestselling authors over the last few months or so with eBook prices from 1.99 to 2.99. I receive the daily newsletter from BB and also have discovered this simply in my browsing in general. Nice to have the book conversations again and hope Kav and all had a pleasant Christmas and New Year’s.
Midnight on the Scottish Shore by Sarah Sundin.

Inflation has really hit the book industry this year for sure. I think we’re seeing it in fewer releases as well which is so sad. I’m guessing the steep ebook prices are to offset the flagging sales? Only I think that’s going to backfire in a major way. Honestly, I’ve woken up every morning this week thinking it’s Sunday and I need to get ready for church…I don’t understand how my time can be so mixed up since I don’t go to work every day so, really, my schedule hasn’t changed but still….lol Good luck, CC!

I can’t find any mention of this book on Good Reads or Amazon. Just found a vague reference to the first book in a new series by Amanda Cabot coming out early 2025. Maybe this one is that book? I’m assuming you got your info from an author newsletter or maybe Facebook? Could you let me know? Thanks!
