Can you believe we’ve reached the last quarter of the year? Autumn is finally here with all it’s colourful glory (in my neck of the woods anyway) and , most exciting of all, we have the rest of the 2026 New Releases to look forward to! Which means it’s time for another (last of the year!) Reader’s Choice Week featuring books releasing in October, November and December 2026.
Here’s how this week’s giveaway works: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION genre specific titles with release dates in October, November or December 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)
Contemporary 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 Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set any time after 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 October, November or December 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 October 4 2026
(You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon EST on Saturday October 3 2026 Winners will be announced the following day.)

I love that cover for After We Fall — it looks so autumnal. Not sure if the book is set the in the fall, but I want it to decorate my shelves for the season. 🙂 Good luck, Perrianne!

October is looking to be a stellar contemporary fiction new release month! Seems like most of the historical are in November. I wonder if there is a science to what genre releases when? Good luck, Lucy!

Thanks, Kav. I really love the illustrated cover on it as well! Almost spring-ish in the background, but it looks like the friends are wearing light fall sweaters/ jackets or tops. One is wearing socks with her flip flops (that’s me in the morning. lol) Actually like we are in the South atm. Cooler mornings, but the days warm up quickly & everything is still green!

I still have geraniums on my balcony blooming. I guess I’m high enough up that frost doesn’t bother them and the days are warm enough that they see happy. I’ve planted a bunch of spring bulbs in every available pot and eager to see if they survive the winter. I read that if you group them together and keep them watered until it really freezes they should do okay. Fingers crossed. Sigh, it’s barely fall but I’m dreaming of spring planting already! lol
LikeLike
Geraniums will stay pretty happy for awhile & if you push them in a corner during the winter where they can get sunshine but no frost they will often come back in the Spring. Not sure how they’ll do in below zero temps, but I guess you’ll find out! lol I don’t blame you bc as much as we love Fall, we all know what comes after. Ugh! {{{shudder}}}

3) Not So Very Sensible by Carolyn Miller (Oct 1) This is about two sisters so I think it’s a retelling of Sense & Sensibility!

Oohhh, the third Silver Teapot book. And the fourth book is Not Fully Persuaded…so yes, definitely an Austen influence. I think each book features one of the Bennett sisters. I’ve read the first book and loved it but haven’t read the Mr. Knightley one yet. Good luck, Diane!
LikeLike
Same here, Kav. Really enjoyed the 1st one! Will probably skip Mr. Knightley & move on to the Sense & Sensibility retelling since that was my my fave Jane Austen movie. Sometimes I pick & choose in a series according to description & don’t read every book. Just depends. Colleen Coble’s and Chelsey Welborn’s are must read every book series!!
