Three cheers for my favourite season! Cooler temps, vibrant fall colours, geese flying south — I am loving the autumn vibes! And what is one of the first things I do to celebrate the start of the new season? Check into all the fall new releases of course! 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 October, November or December 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 CONTEMPORARY 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 Contemporary Fiction genre you would like to win.
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.
How does it work?
Easy Peasy! May 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 October, November or December 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 ON
Saturday September 27 2025
AND WINNER ANNOUNCED ON
Sunday September 28 2024
You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on Saturday September 27 2025. Winners will be announced on Sunday September 28 . (A bit of a switch from previous RCWs just to give me a little more time to do all the tallying and setting up the blog post.)

I had to look this one up. The summary sounds almost exactly like The Light on Horn Island, and we know that one was fantastic. I’m adding this one to my Dec list which was pretty skimpy, thanks for the tip.

Tracey, aside from Julie Klassen’s, mine was looking pretty skimpy, too! It does sound similar & one can only hope it’ll be as good as The Light on Horn Island. My favorite of all of Valerie Fraser Luesse’s novels!

This is an exciting find, Diane, and a new to me author as well. Looks like she’s written two other Southern fiction books and has a background as a freelance writer. Thinking this must be her first book with Thomas Nelson or we would have heard of her before? Good luck!

It must be her 1st book with TN or we’d have definitely heard of her! I wasn’t aware she’s written more Southern fiction, but I assume it’s not CF. Looking forward to checking out her writing!

Yes, I really enjoyed Ambush too and am excited to get back into that setting. And you found a lighthouse story too…with a firefighter hero! 🙂 Interesting that both Thomas Nelson books are published in December. I don’t think I saw any of their books in all the October flurry. Good luck, Diane!
