Reader’s Choice Giveaway – Summer 2025 Edition – Historical Fiction

The heat is ratcheting up and I need a distraction so it’s the perfect time to plot our way into a new season of wonderful reads which is where this Reader’s Choice Week comes into play.

Here’s how this week’s giveaways works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in July, August or September 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 July, August or September 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.

SPECIAL NOTE: Harper Muse books won’t fit into the giveaway criteria since they aren’t Christian Fiction even though some of our fave authors have moved over to this imprint.

DRAW WILL BE HELD AND WINNER ANNOUNCED ON

Saturday June 28 2025

(You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on June 28. Winners will be announced later that afternoon.)

      1. I’m getting so far behind on Sarah’s books! She’s such a prolific writer! I’m excited for her Seeking Persephone movie that’s supposed to be coming out later this year!

      1. The French Kitchen looks really intriguing. Love the Julia Child angle. I’ve been reading a cozy mystery featuring Julia Child so this will be a fun addition to my Paris/Julia Child reading. Good luck, Kay!

    1. For anyone who needs an idea, Laura Frantz has a novella, A Fierce Devotion coming out July 30th. It will be on KU so I didn’t pick it, but I’m sure it will be good. It’s a standalone about Bleu Galant from The Seamstress of Acadie. She also said the audio is being worked on so you’ll be able to get it Kav 🙂

        1. I was excited for this one when Laura said, “If I ever wanted to be the heroine in a book this would be the one!” That must mean we are in for one great hero!

          I also love her self-publishing name, Stroy Architect

      1. That Gabrielle Meyer book has me intrigued — it could have a Canadian setting but it might also be Minnesota or South Dakota. Guess I’ll have to read it to find out. 🙂 And thrilled about a new Erica Vetsch historical mystery! Though I think I missed the first book in the Of Cloak & Daggers series. Oops. Must catch up. Good luck, Sylvia!

    14. 1 of 3 – Through Water and Stone by Karen Barnett. It is a split-time but one timeline is historical.

        1. Ugh, I see. I just saw it said September 17th on Goodreads and didn’t bother to check over on Amazon. That’s okay, I’ve always got backups. (It’s never a problem of finding enough books, but of narrowing it down to only three per category!🤣)
          So I’ll go with No Stone Unturned by Jenelle Hovde 🙃

        2. I think they must list books on Good Reads waaaay in advance of publications to get readers excited and anticipating the book and they probably just have a rough idea for a publication date. This one said ‘expected in September’ so that must have gotten bumped up a few weeks in real time and they just didn’t correct it on GR. I wonder whose job it is to put all the info on GR? Good luck, Elly!

    28. 3) The Lady of Red River Valley by Gabrielle Meyer (July 21)

      I really enjoyed the 1st one! IDK how this one slipped by me. I haven’t seen it mentioned online at all.

      1. Kav, I’m thinking since the 1st one was set in Canada this one will be too. Maybe? Near Lake Winnipeg, but so are those other states you mentioned. Guess we’ll see . . .

        1. Actually the 1st one started in Canada & I think they traveled to the US colonies. My memory! I read so many books I can’t keep track of where exactly they’re all set. Ugh

        2. I haven’t read the fur trader one bit it’s on my list! It will be interesting to see where exactly the characters in this book end up. 🙂 Good luck, Diane!

      1. Sorry, Cindy, but this one releases in October. It says expected release in September on GR but all the online stores have the release date as October 14th. Feel free to choose another title. I’m super excited for this one though.
