Looking Ahead to the Next Few Weeks:

The blog will be closed from Thursday June 25 2026 – Saturday July 4 2026 while I move from house to apartment and then, when I get back online, it will be time for….tada!

Reader’s Choice Week – Summer Edition!

So excited to see what’s in store for us. If you’re new here, this is how the RCW giveaways work: You recommend CHRISTIAN FICTION (also Closed Door/Clean) 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 posted each day before entering.

Indie Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas published independently by an author. Any genre, but must fit the Christian Fiction / Closed Door, Clean Read category. This is a new category and might prove to be challenging since we don’t always get a lot of notice about indie book releases so, for this category only, books can be published any time between January and September 2026

Historical Romance/Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas set in any time period before 1980. May cross genres such as YA, Suspense, Amish etc. and may include dual timelines.

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.

Mystery/Suspense Fiction – a full length story or novella or collection of novellas where mystery is an important part of the plot. The hero or heroine (or both) are often in peril (more so in suspense.) Can be set in any time period and may cross genres such as YA, Amish etc. and may include dual timelines.

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.

Goal Review – time to dust off those January 2026 reading goals and check in with how we’re doing. For this giveaway, just share anything goal related in the comments. Then, in the same comment, list a book that will help you reach your goal.

See you on July 5th and in the meantime

Happy Reading!

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE REST OF THE YEAR:

Conversations with Kav – a place for us to chat about bookish topics if anyone is so inclined. Sometimes there will be giveaways, sometimes there won’t. It will just depend on the topic of the day. Hope to see you there! Otherwise my inner book nerd and I will carry on by ourselves. Bwahaha!

Carol Awards – Novella – Yes, it’s that time again. What are the Carol Awards, you ask? They are awards given out by American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) in recognition of outstanding Christian fiction in the previous calendar year. We’ll be looking at the finalists for each category every Monday through the summer. I’ll share the book titles and you get to choose the one you’d like to win if your name is drawn.

Giveaway announcements as this will be a shortened week due to the fact that I’m moving in a week. Eeeeeepppp!!! I’ll be on blog hiatus for a week and a half and will be back in time for our Reader’s Choice Week – Summer 2026 Edition!!! Woohoo! Will share more details on Wednesday.

Moving Day is drawing nigh and I’ve found myself reaching for comfort rereads (or listens) and lots of cozy mysteries to keep me calm, so my new Christian Fiction offerings are nil at the moment. So, we’re doing something different this week and, who knows, maybe it will become a regular blog feature. I’ll be sharing a fave series each day and the giveaway will be your choice of any of the books from that series. All the details will be posted each day and I think I’ll let you be surprised by which series I chose this week. 🙂

LOOKING AHEAD TO THE COMING WEEK:

Alas, no Conversation with Kav this week it being Mother’s Day and I’m up to my eyeballs in chaos (my pre-moving strategy turns out not to be as organized as I planned!) BUT, there is a giveaway instead, a Women’s Fiction one at that! – in fact this coming week is a six day giveaway , 2 brand spanking new just released books and 4 gently read ones. 🙂
