Reader’s Choice Week Winter 2025 Winners

Thanks everyone for starting the New Year off right! There’s nothing better than sharing the anticipatory delight of New Releases with fellow readers. So many books, so little time, and that’s okay ’cause we’ll never get bored, right? And now it’s time for…

BOOK NERDY STATS (ha, I bet you thought I’d start listing the winners.) Before we get to all that fun stuff, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the popular picks of the week — as far as genre days went anyway. Here they are:

And now it’s time to move into the part of this post you will be most interested in (and I thank you for indulging in my bibliophile neediness!)

READER’S CHOICE WEEK – WINTER 2025 EDITION – WINNERS!

But wait, it’s not over yet. The Vanity category has become a blog tradition. It’s where a book is actually judged by its cover and I choose my favourite cover art per genre and then draw from a pool of readers who requested that title. Here are COVER LOVE winners!

I love all things Irish so this cover calls to me from the rolling hills to all the shades of green and, of course, the red hair (a bit cliche, but still.)

Eye-catching with all those pops of colour and I love the whimsical vibe. Very different from any other cover out there so it really stands out. Plus – light house! How can I resist?!

I might have been drawn to this cover due to all the news coverage of the L.A. fires right now but I also appreciate that it’s the fire marshal heroine heading into danger. I think the cover captures the tension and desperation that is undoubtedly part of the story.

Definitely attracted to the cozy mystery vibes depicted on this cover. And I love Fannie’s wide-eyed shock. The magnifying glass is a nice Sherlockonian touch. This just looks fun and makes me want to dive right into the story.

WAIT! Don’t go away ’cause we’re not through yet. We have another Reader’s Choice tradition of picking a random number which becomes a ‘just because giveaway’ on the genre specific days. If that doesn’t make sense, all you need to know is that it means more book giveaways. Woohoo! This time the number is 42.

That’s another RC wrap up. I’ll send winners an email stating their book win, publication date and requesting contact info so that I’ll have everything ready for release day. Then I’ll email you once again once the book has been ordered. Oh — and if you didn’t include your email in your comment it’s up to you to contact me.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK:

Please remember to check +Giveaway in the title and note the book editions available for each giveaway as they will vary.
