Paperback or ebook — winner can choose either format

Paperback — I have a new physical book on hand to give away

Gently Read Paperback — It’s the actual book I read to review

ebook — that’s the only format option available, often because it’s an indie book where a paperback copy is either unavailable or exorbitantly priced. Or when a physical edition is out of print.

Just a little bit of housekeeping before we get started. Some of you might have already heard about Book Depository closing. (This coming week is the last week orders can be placed.) In the past, I’ve depended on Book Depository for my giveaways, especially for international winners, so I’m scrambling to find alternatives. Right now I have Canada and the US covered but am still searching for viable alternatives for the UK, Australia and Europe.

So, from now on, check in the ‘giveaway opportunity’ section (in blue right beneath my review in each blog.) I already list what editions are available in red, but that will get more detailed as some books won’t be available in some areas. I’m trying to get creative, but bear with me and read the fine print.

For example: for some unknown reason ebooks cannot be gifted in Canada. Makes no sense, but if you don’t have an Amazon . com account, I can’t gift you with an ebook. You can, however live anywhere in the world and get a .com account — I’m Canadian and I have one for giveaway purposes. What I do for Canadians, is offer them a gift card instead so they can purchase the book themselves. Hoping I can get creative like that for other countries.

Anyway — just a not so brief explanation and head’s up to check the red print on each giveaway before entering.

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK’S GIVEAWAYS:

Eeeepppp — Time for another (and this blog’s first!) Reader’s Choice Week!!!! I’m sooooooo excited!!! It feels like ages since we last chatted new releases. Well, it’s only been three months but in bibliophile land that is an age, right?  I’m so excited to find out which Christian Fiction books you are anticipating the release of in April, May or June 2023l So…drum roll please….I give you Kav’s Best Reads first ever:

READER’S CHOICE

SPRING INTO BOOKS EDITION!!!

In case you’re new here (or need a refresher) here’s what Reader’s Choice Week is all about:

You recommend Christian Fiction titles with release dates in April, May or June 2023 (up to three entries per genre day) and you have a chance at winning one of your suggested titles…or more accurately, an IOU for when the book releases.

OF SPECIAL NOTE: SINCE COMMENTS ARE WORKING IN OUR NEW BLOG HOME, THIS WEEK’S GIVEAWAYS WILL ONLY BE OPEN TO COMMENT ENTRIES (NOT EMAIL ENTRIES THIS WEEK.) ALSO, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT COMMENTED ON THIS WORDPRESS BLOG BEFORE, YOUR FIRST COMMENT WILL BE HIDDEN UNTIL I APPROVE IT. AFTER I’VE DONE THAT ONCE, YOUR COMMENTS WILL PUBLISH RIGHT AWAY.

But it’s a little more complicated than that so be sure to read ALL the details listed each day before entering. Each day is genre specific which means you can only suggest historical titles on historical fiction day etc. Here’s the posting schedule:

Sunday March 26 — Historical Fiction — any full-length novel 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.

Monday March 27 — Contemporary Fiction — any full length novel 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.

Tuesday March 28 — Suspense / Mystery Fiction — any full length novel 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 — contemporary or historical — and cross genres such as YA, Amish or dual timelines etc.

Wednesday March 29 — Amish Fiction — any full length novel or novella or collection of novellas where the hero or heroine (or both) are Amish OR the story has significant Amish involvement through Amish secondary characters and Amish community. Can be historical or contemporary and cross genres such as YA, suspense or dual timelines.

Thursday March 30 — General Christian Fiction — Any full length novel or novella or collection of novellas. Any genre including previous selections you’ve made on other days and also for specific  genres not covered this week such as Women’s Fiction, Science Fiction, Speculative Fiction, etc.

Friday March 31 — 2022 Reading Goals Wishlist — Time to share our 2023 goals! I’ll share all — the good, the bad and the ugly (!) in my blog post and then, if you’re so inclined, you can share your progress (or not) in a comment. This  giveaway is an opportunity for you to snag a title on your TBR list. Just add a book title (anything published up to June 2023) and if your name is drawn that’s the book you’ll win. Oh, and if you want to share your 2023 goals that would be fun too.

WINNERS WILL BE
