Hellllooooo Summer and all the lazy days of lounging and reading ahead! Time to stock pile our TBRs with the newest releases so let’s take a look at what’s coming out in July, August and September 2026!

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

Historical 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 Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set 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 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.

WINNERS ANNOUNCED ON 

Sunday July 12 2026

  9. 2) To Chase the Stars by Tara Johnson (July 13) It’s not listed on Amazon as CF, but Book 1 To Speak Her Name certainly was!

    1. Funny how genres seem to have seasons. I’m really looking forward to The Light of Stars! And I just realized both your book choices have four word titles that end with ‘stars’. 🙂 Good luck, Diane!

    2. I preordered The Heiress and the Huntsman and am full of anticipatory thrills waiting on it. 🙂 And you can’t go wrong with a Michelle Griep Christmas novel — especially one with a gorgeous cover like that! Good luck, Tracey!

  12. 3) The Heiress and the Woodsman by Christine Hill Suntz (Aug 4)

    I’m not crazy about the cover bc the lady looks too illustrated, but I enjoyed The Lawyer and the Laundress very much! Thanks for putting some fun in my life this week, Kav, and hope the unpacking is coming along smoothly!

      1. Thanks for sharing these, Sylvia. Three great authors and I’m excited to see Sarah Sundin with a Christmas book coming out. Plus I really need to read more from Terrie Todd and this one looks gripping.

      1. I love the woods & the horse, but not the girl so much. The Lawyer and the Laundress is set in Canada as well. I think the author lives there. Maybe close to you! (wink)

  13. Historical books aren’t as plentiful this quarter, so I’m going to repeat a book from indie day,

    Mist on the Waters by Stephenia McGee releasing August 11th

    Thanks for this historical day giveaway, Kav. I’ll be watching to see what others find.

    1. Isn’t it strange that there doesn’t seem to be as many historical novels releasing this quarter. I wonder if publishers think summer is all about breezy rom/coms? It will be interesting to see what the selection is like for the other genre days. I haven’t don any digging at all due to the move so I’m counting on you guys to fill up my TBR wishlist! Bwahahaha! Good luck, Tracey!

  32. My third choice may not work: The Christmas Book Flood by Roseanna M. White. Here’s the issue: it’s technically already released BUT the PAPERBACK releases on 8/18. It’s your call Kav!

    1. The Christmas Book Flood totally works as long as you want the paperback edition since it’s the new release. And it is so worth having a print copy! I have the audio but I’m going to get a paperback as well cause it’s one for the keeper shelf for sure. Good luck, Perrianne!
