Reader’s Choice Giveaway – Winter 2026 Edition – Contemporary Fiction

Another New Year. Fresh goals to set. And a whole year’s worth of new books releasing! Woohoo!!!! All my reading journals are blank, waiting to be filled with all the fictional delights 2026 has to offer. So, I’m on the hunt for New Releases and this is where 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 2026 (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 January, February or March 2026

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 AND WINNER ANNOUNCED ON

Saturday January 3 2026

(You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon EST on Saturday January 3 2026 Winners will be announced later that afternoon or early evening.

    1. Oooohhhh, you found some wonderful suspense-y new releases! Especially intrigued by Connie Mann’s. I haven’t read The Crown Conspiracy yet though so I guess I should make that a priority in January. Good luck, Perrianne!

  4. Look who’s early to the party, lol! 😂😂 I only found two contemporary books that interested me, but will come back later to see if someone suggests a third one that looks good to me as well.

    1. You’re early to the party and I’m late. We had a power outage and let’s just say that I’m glad the heat is on again. Spent the night buried under duvets with a flashlight and a good book. 🙂 Good luck, Trixi!

      1. It is on Amazon twice….I did not realize the paperback had released already, and saw the ebook date, which is January 6. Believe me, I would have already ordered the paperback…which I just did 🙂

  12. I think I kept poor hubby awake with my coughing all night. Ugh. At least book talk is therapeutic! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity, Kav!

  14. This one sounds like it includes the dreaded LT. Cute cover though! New to me author, too. I’ve seen her books but have never read anything by her.

    3) Claire Holloway Is Winging It by Angela Ruth Strong (Mar 16)

    1. Sad to hear you are still dealing with flu symptoms. Persistent coughing is the worst! Glad we can distract you a bit with our bookish banter! And trust you to find a stalker suspense story! Bwahahahaha! I’ve read Paige Edwards — not much, but I do want to read more and this sounds intriguing. I have read Angela Ruth Strong and she has a lovely storytelling style — great at rom/com moments in stories with depth too. But…I’m really off LT more than ever so I might have to let you read this one first and let me now how triangle-y it gets! Good luck, Diane. Feel better soon!

      1. Thanks, Kav. I’m miserable right now. 🤒 Finally got my blankie & climbed in recliner so hubs could sleep & I actually slept better in chair. I didn’t wet my hair, but got a warm shower today. So comforting & even tho I don’t feel better, at least I don’t smell sick. lol

        Yeah, I’m not sure about Angela’s book. I’ll probably wait till the reviews are out on it. The royal book sounds pretty good & I’m wondering where I even found it. Stalking books seem to stalk me, is all I know! Ha! I’ve been waiting on T.I. Lowe’s book since I saw it on NetGalley quite some time ago. Her books speak for themselves! Thanks for the well wishes & fun book banter!

    1. You are all early birds today! I’m catching up after a power outage. Enjoying heat, hot food and bookish dreams! I haven’t read the second Halstead Manor book yet, guess I best get to it before this one comes out and then I need to check out more of Susan L. Tuttle’s books. Good luck, Tracey!

      1. I’m glad the heat is back on! I guess I shouldn’t be whining about my high of 37 today.

        I love Susan Tuttle’s books. She is one I have read-to-zero. I’m just over here waiting for the next one. I do love that Kregel is keeping their ebooks at 9.99 too.
