MONDAY

We’re winging our way through the 2023 Carol Awards Semi-Finalists and this week it’s NOVELLAS!

Reader’s Choice Week Winners – Summer Edition

Well, this was a fun week — and a distraction from the heat and smog! Thanks for sharing in the anticipatory joy of new releases! My wishlist is nicely plumped up now. 🙂

Before we get to the fun stuff, here’s some bibliophile nerdy stats for you. I always find it fascinating to see what the most requested books are in each category. If you don’t, just scroll down until we get to the part where I announce the winners.

Most Requested Historical

Most Requested Contemporary

Most Requested Suspense

Most Requested Amish

And now it’s time to move into the part of this post you will be most interested in (and I thank you for indulging in my bibliophile nerdiness.)

But wait, it’s not over yet. The Vanity category has become a blog tradition. It’s where a book is actually judged by its cover and I choose my favourite cover art per genre and then draw from a pool of readers who requested that title. Here are my COVER LOVE winners!!

HISTORICAL COVER LOVE WINNER

(My eye is drawn to the lavender hues and I love the image of the heroine looking over her should…she looks like she has spunk and sass to spare and I can’t wait to meet her!)

WON BY ELLY

CONTEMPORARY COVER LOVE WINNER

(I love the playfulness in this cover — and the way the hero is all tangled up in lights makes me think it won’t be long before his heart is all tangled up too. 🙂 Plus, I love the way the title creates the Christmas tree. Very clever.)

WON BY TRACEY

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE COVER LOVE

(You might think this is a rather plain cover to win my high esteem…and you might be right but I think I’ve been influenced by the horrid hot humid weather we’ve been having. Hello, Canada Day is being celebrated with sever thunderstorms and tornado warnings (!) in my neck of the woods and every time it rains, the humidity gets worse. All that to say, I find that lovely icy cool cover refreshing…)

WON BY TAMMY

AMISH COVER LOVE

(Heroine wearing glasses on the cover for the win!!! That’s all I’m gonna say.)

WON BY TRIXI

WAIT! Don’t go away ’cause we’re not through. We have another Reader’s Choice tradition of picking a random number which becomes a ‘just because giveaway’ on the genre specific days. If that doesn’t make sense, all you need to know is that it means more book giveaways. Woohoo! This time the number is: 65

HISTORICAL 65TH

WON BY KRISTIN

CONTEMPORARY 65TH

WON BY LEA

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE 65TH

WON BY KIMMY

That’s another RC wrap up. I’ll send winners an email stating their book win, publication date and requesting contact info so that I’ll have everything ready for release day. Then I’ll email you once again once the book has been ordered. Oh — and if you didn’t include your email in your comment it’s up to you to contact me. 🙂

May Giveaway — Week Three

Just a heads up about some technical issues I’m having — because, of course, technology has it out for me. 🙂 This time it’s my ancient modem that is causing grief. It won’t load some websites and I know it’s the modem’s fault, not my laptop because everything works fine when I log in at my library. So, yes, that means I’ve had to trek on down to my library multiple times this week. Hopefully my internet provider will send me a newer modem and all will be well shortly. Oh — and guess what websites are among these affected (or is that effected? I always mess those two up.) Audible (gasp!) Good Reads (double gasp!) and sometimes Word Press (triple gasp) I’ve prepared posts for the first four out of the five days next week but if something doesn’t pop up on Thursday, you’re forewarned.

Oh, and sometimes I can’t comment on my blog…or even get the page to appear, but that seems to have righted itself towards the end of the week. But, just in case, if I don’t respond to comments as quickly as before, or if new comments don’t get approved promptly, this is the reason. Luckily I like to walk and I love my library so it’s no great chore to hike on down there to do some updates.
