Reader’s Choice Week Giveaway – Winter 2026 Edition – General Christian 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 GENERAL CHRISTIAN 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 General Christian Fiction genre you would like to win.

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, Speculative, YA etc.

How does it work?

Easy Peasy! May recommendations in the comment section and if you win, you win the book you suggested.

    1. Just leftover lentil stew and brownies for dinner tonight. Gotta start the New Year with a bit of chocolate 🙂 In Ireland the New Year’s tradition is to open the front door and the back door at the stroke of midnight to welcome in the New Year (front door) and scurry out the old year (back door.) Supposed to bring good luck. Imagine my distraught immigrant mother when we moved into a small apartment in Toronto with only one door! She ended up opening up all the windows instead. We froze. Anyway, early that year she lost her job and her mother back in Ireland had a stroke. Convinced our lack of front and back door contributed to this bad luck, she made my dad agree to move! 🙂 Good luck, CC!

      1. Since I have some Irish ancestors, I especially love hearing of traditions. I am smiling at your mama’s diligence! My mama always cooked black eyed peas and cornbread. I guess I am living dangerously today with chicken spaghetti casserole and chocolate muffins!

  32. Happy New Year everyone!!!!! Got woke up by some pretty significant fireworks at midnight (we don’t stay up late anymore, lol!), so I had a hard time going back to sleep 😵😴 Feeling like a zombie this morning. Anyway, here’s my two selections for today:

    The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins by Melanie Dickerson (March)

    It’s been a while since I’ve read a book by her 😊

    1. Happy New Year, Trixi! I went to bed at nine last night so no fireworks for me! My furnace died yesterday (of course!) so I climbed under a bunch of duvets and had an early night. Good luck!

  34. 1.To Love a Lady by Gabrielle Meyer – just announced yesterday in a newsletter, coming out January 6th! Apparently it’s the start of a series inspired by musicals, and this one is based on My Fair Lady. The second has appeared on Goodreads also (coming in June) and is based on Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It sounds like a fun series!

  39. 3-I’ve been on the fence about TI Lowe’s South of Somewhere. I know it’ll be good, I’ve read the first few chapters online, but based on the subject matter also heart wrenching. Some days I hope for an angst free year of books and other days I’m afraid I’ll be missing a profound story. So, I’m jumping feet first into the deep end of the pool, lol.

    Thanks Kav, tracey14567 atgmaildotcom

      1. Tanya Lowe puts the reader through the ringer before she makes right the situation, no doubt about it. I always become one of the characters in the book I’m reading, the thought of getting a DUI and going to jail, rehab and losing my child because of it is tough from the get-go. I’ll have to be one of the supporting cast this time around, haha.

      2. Tracey, the spousal abuse was over quickly & the rest of the book was such an amazing read. That’s why I continue to enjoy her books. But I understand. I can’t do child abuse or over the top graphic, which is why I read a sample of Mercy’s Rain by Cindy K. Sproles 1st. It came highly recommended, but my insides shook when I read the sample. That was a no buy for me. BTW I received an invitation to read a certain person’s book (that you know of) who writes really creepy over the top thrillers. Read some of the reviews & trigger warnings & told the publisher I would have to skip that one. Maybe next time. That’s a big maybe!

    2. I know exactly how you feel! If I don’t read all of TI Lowe’s books or even Denise Hunter’s love triangle-y ones, I feel almost as tho I’ve committed a sin & need to repent. lol I mentioned on Kav’s blog many yrs ago that I couldn’t continue Lulu’s Cafe bc of the awful spousal abuse & she convinced me it would get better if I continued on. Well, I took her advice & now I read every TI Lowe book I can get my hands on! A forever fan. But I agree, you have to be in a certain mood to read different plotlines!

      1. Exactly why I’ve never read Lulu’s Cafe Diane. I’ve read a number of books that took me by surprise, so now I’m super careful about content. I can’t read about spousal or child abuse, or suspense with detailed attacks or murders. It stays in my mind forever, and then I dream about it. I pay close attention to summary content and read a short number of reviews which really help me figure out what I want to read.

      2. There is an author that I read that was a bit creepy and now I decided not to read her. More power to the ones who can read her books , though.
        Too many other books to read. ( it was NOT Jaime Jo Wright).

      4. Paula, exactly how I feel about books, too many to move on to when an author takes a decidedly violent or creepy turn. I used to have a read-to-zero mentality for authors I enjoyed but I’ve gotten over that. I stopped reading one author whose books had gotten too violent and another who’d gotten too sensual. We are blessed to have so many choices, there’s something for everyone and of all tolerance levels.

        Yes, this would make a great Sunday Convo with Kav topic. I’d love to talk about it more.

      5. Paula, definitely not Jaime Jo Wright! I would classify her books as more eerie than creepy. The author I’m referring to as being over the top creepy & graphic caused me to have a hard time going to sleep & my dreams weren’t exactly nightmares, but they were very unsettling. I can read Nancy Mehl & Lynette Eason, so you can imagine how chilling this other author’s books are! There was only one Lynette Eason serial k*ller book which is a retro-read that I couldn’t read bc of the graphic nature, but for the most part I really love her books!

      6. Kav, great idea! Tracey, I like the phrase you used “tolerance level”. I’m sure all of our tolerance levels are different. And it’s not just in suspense books bc I just finished a CF novel and it was so intriguing I just had to reach the end to see how everything played out. But some of the plot seemed so worldly to me. Yet there was a deep spiritual thread, too, so I was confused as to how to review & rate this book! Anne Payne & I agreed & shared a couple of comments on goodreads. Interesting to read other reviewers tolerance levels of this book were.

      8. I bet it’s the same author. There’s one also that become too sensual also.
        This would make a great topic for Sundays! But we need to be careful to not mention author’s names.
        Where do we draw our own lines?

      9. Paula, agree about the authors’ names. Unless we’re fans & love their writing style! 😃 Yes, where do we draw our own lines?
