Hello March + Giveaway

It’s a Best Reads blog tradition! Celebrating the month’s new releases the first week of each month.

why?

Because I recently discovered that a book’s success or failure is often determined by first month sales! (Though I bet preorders play into that as well.) Publishing houses look at those stats to determine whether they’ll add on to a series or accept the author’s next manuscript! All that literary goodness hanging in the balance but for a month’s worth of sales! (This was a cozy mystery author, but I imagine all traditional publishers use the same ‘system’.) So I thought I should do my wee little bit to promote Christian Fiction.

How?

By hosting a special ‘Hello – insert month’ giveaway. It’s easy to play along. You just have to choose ONE of the March 2026 new releases on your TBR wishlist (must be Christian Fiction) and mention the title in a comment below (or email me at kavluvstoreadATyahooDOTca) If your name is drawn, that March release is the book you will win and we’re one book closer to keeping our fave authors in business.

GIVEAWAY OPPORTUNITY:

US – paperback or ebook copy — winner’s choice

Canada -paperback or ebook (in form of an Amazon gift card) or audible.ca audio book (if available) – winner’s choice

International – ebook if you have a US Kindle account

Draw will be held and winner announced on Saturday March 7 2026

  2. I’ve been looking forward to this one, though I’ve been going back and forth between “All Booked Up,” and “When They Met Again.” I believe I’ll be able to review ecopies, but I’m always delighted to have physical books on my shelf. Hmm… I like the idea of having book two of the Leslie Gould series since I have book one, but… I’m going with “All Booked Up.” Thank you for this delightful opportunity, Kav!

  5. If I were fortunate enough to be selected, I would LOVE the opportunity to read and review LAST TO FALL by Lynn H. Blackburn. There’s so much in this book that hits all my boxes – second chance, small town, romance, military, suspense and pulse-pounding action.
    Thank you so much for the wonderful chance to win a copy!
    Now you keep that frigid weather up north. We are starting to see signs of spring – blooming jonquils, tulips starting to peek through the ground as well as peonies, and even the starting of rainy season, which we desperately need since we are in drought conditions.

    1. Thanks for reminding me about Last to Fall. It seems like I’ve been waiting forever for it to release and I forgot that today is actually the release day! Off to add it to my audible line up!

      I can’t believe you already have signs of spring! We’re still buried in snow though the cold spell is starting to lift which means snow will start to melt soon. Mind you, that’s a long process since there’s so much of it, but it’s a start. Good luck, Kay!

  6. Hello March! Spring is just around the corner. Yippee! I’ve been awaiting this book forever it seems, South of Somewhere by TI Lowe! Love her books. 😀

    Thanks for the giveaway, Kav! Hope you’re warming up. It cooled down again for awhile, but in the 70s starting tomorrow! 🌞

    1. I just picked up a T.I. Lowe book that someone mentioned during a conversation day — Life Unwritten. Excited to start it soon. She writes such emotional gripping stories. The 70s?! Oh my….we are getting warmer but not that warm! It’s going up to 2 today – that’s 35 F which is quite balmy. 🙂 Good luck, Diane!

  7. Hello March and YAY for heading towards Spring! My pick is The Hidden Key of Brooke Sumner by Susan Tuttle, a read to zero author for me. (Shoutout to South of Somewhere, which is already in my hot little hands)!

    1. I need to read more of Susan Tuttle. I’ll have to check her website and see how many books she has out. I haven’t read many. Yay for the South of Somewhere shoutout – luck you already with a copy. Good luck, Sandy!

  11. Hello March!! I heard our Spring peeper frogs last night for the first time this year! I can imagine sitting on a wide front porch in a rocking chair with my eyes closed and listening to them for hours on end. How peaceful 🐸

    I see there are several great choices for March releases. I have my eye on two, but I think I am buying the ebook of one because Amazon has it for an excellent price right now (A Love Most Daring by Joanna Barker). So my pick for today is:

    The Good Fortune of Miss Robbins by Melanie Dickerson.

    1. Sounds like spring peeper frogs are the perfect way to serenade a reading sprint! I’d love a front porch — a wrap around porch even better! Wlth plenty of cozy chair options for reading. Good luck, Trixi!

  16. Hi Kav! I’m going to go with Listen for the Chickadees by Terri Wangard releasing March 10. It sounds like an intriguing historical romance story.

  19. Hello March! (where did February go?) I’m so excited for Crystal Caudill’s upcoming release, Sung in the Shadows – so much so that I already pre-ordered it! Though I’m also looking forward to “Faithful of Heart” by Tracie Peterson.😁

    1. So exciting to have a plethora of book releases to anticipate! And, Elly, you have been a ‘bad’ influence on me — I’ve been reading fantasy books! Just finished Embargold and I have four more on my TBR! I don’t recognize myself these days. Bwahahaha! Good luck, Elly!

      1. Hahaha! But hey! I think the influential actions are reciprocated, lol. I’ve definitely found myself reading and accumulating more contemporary books because of this blog😅

    1. Ooohhhh, surprising you are the first one to mention Claire Holloway is Winging It — that one got a lot of attention last Reader’s Choice Week! I am listening to Last to Fall right now and it is divine! 🙂 Good luck, Cindy!

  27. Well, elections are finally over and maybe I’ve recovered from being a poll worker (maybe not!).  Even though I would love Last to Fall by Lynn Blackburn, I’m going to try someone new. Gasp!!!!! Liar’s Treasure by Connie Mann.
