Winners will be contacted if they left their email address, otherwise it’s up to the winner to contact me at kavluvstoread AT yahoo DOT ca (please note it’s ca as in Canada, not com.) From time to time a winner and I do not connect so I have a one month time frame on giveaway wins. If I haven’t been able to reach you within 30 days of your win, it will be forfeited. This has happened a few times now, so please, DON’T BE SHY — CONTACT ME IF YOU DIDN’T LEAVE AN EMAIL OR IF I HAVEN’T BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN REACHING YOU!
LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK:
Conversations with Kav – a place for us to chat about bookish topics if anyone is so inclined. Sometimes there will be giveaways, sometimes there won’t. It will just depend on the topic of the day. Hope to see you there! Otherwise my inner book nerd and I will carry on by ourselves. Bwahaha!
And then the rest of the week will be devoted to….drumroll please…
READER’S CHOICE WEEK – SUMMER 2025 EDITION!
Of note: Harper Muse books won’t be considered as giveaway options this time round as they are not Christian Fiction and may have some questionable content – usually mild – but this week is all about celebrating Christian Fiction. I know some wonderful authors are publishing with Harper Muse and I have read some stunning novels so certainly feel free to share any upcoming releases that interest you in addition to the novels you would like entered in the giveaway.
For folks new to the blog: Reader’s Choice is a week we eagerly look ahead for new books in the CHRISTIAN FICTION genre coming out over the next three months. So this time ’round it will be books releasing in July, August or September 2025. You recommend genre specific titles (up to 3 suggestions per genre day) and you have a chance to win one of your recommendations! Full details will be included in each day’s blog post so be sure to read them. And feel free to ask any questions along the way. Often helpful reader friends will answer them even before I get a chance to.
Monday June 23 – 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.
Tuesday June 24 – – Contemporary Romance / 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.

Thursday June 26 – General Christian Fiction — a full length story or novella or collection of novellas. Any genre, including previous selections you made on other days this week as well as specific genres not covered yet such as Amish, Women’s Fiction, Speculative, SciFi etc.
Friday June 27 – Goals in Review – where we share our reading progress and suggest books that can help us reach a goal. (can include books published any time up to and including September 2025)
- Draw will be held and winners announced on Saturday June 28
- You have until noon on the 28th to enter any of the giveaways
- It will take a good bit of the afternoon for me to calculate the winners so they won’t be posted until later in the day.
Congratulations to the winners! Have a great weekend, Kav!

It was also announced that Baker Book House has a new division with “Haven” and they said outright that it won’t be Christian.

I just copied this from a release.
Baker Publishing Group has announced the launch of Haven, an imprint focused on what the Christian publisher describes as “clean and wholesome fiction”—that is, novels without sex, profanity, or graphic violence and also omit religious content. The inaugural Haven list will debut in spring 2026.

Thanks so much for sharing this, Paula. That sounds wonderful. I like that they spell it out. Love the absence of profanity since that isn’t always the case in ‘clean and wholesome fiction’. It will be interesting to see what books and authors are in their line up. Hope, of course, that this just adds to their releases, not take away from the Christian Fiction they are already publishing.
