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 to requested that title. Here are my COVER LOVE winners!!

HISTORICAL 
COVER LOVE WINNER
(love the intricate steel work
that frames this cover and the cool
colour palette except for that
pop of..aqua?...in his jacket.
And an interesting choice to
have the hero looking off into
the distance, instead of the heroine, 
as is usually the case. 
And that grid work really
draws the eye, inviting me in.)

Hearts of Steel (The Blackstone Legacy, #3)
WON BY JACKIE SMITH

CONTEMPORARY 
COVER LOVE WINNER
(Pops of colour, the easel in
the midst of nature and that
beautiful blue sky...well, it
all just makes me happy!)

Where Faith Belongs (The Orchard House Bed and Breakfast Series, #6)
WON BY ELIZABETH LITTON

MYSTERY/SUSPENSE 
COVER LOVE WINNER
(Love the cool blue tones 
and the frost patterns 
etched across the cover.
Perfect for an Alaskan setting.)

Cold Light of Day (Missing in Alaska, #1)
WON BY LUCY REYNOLDS

AMISH 
COVER LOVE WINNER

62221427. sy475
WON BY RUBYNREBA

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: 46

HISTORICAL 46TH

The Sound of Light
WON BY KIM HANSEN

CONTEMPORARY 46TH

Dear Henry, Love Edith
WON BY BEAUTY IN THE BINDING


MYSTERY/SUSPENSE 46TH

Secrets of the Sonnets
WON BY TRIXI

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR
AND 
HAPPY READING!

LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK'S GIVEAWAYS:

Please note: because of the holidays, I'm dividing our last Reader's Choice week of the year into two weeks. Posts will go up on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of each week (see below for details.) You can enter any of the giveaways up until noon on December 31 (EST)

Eeeepppp -- Time for this year's final Read in the New Year Reader's Choice Week!!!! What kind of delectable books are in store for us in January, February and March 2023? I can't wait to find out what's in store for us!

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 January, February or March 2023 (up to three entries per genre day) and you have a chance at winning one of your suggested titles...or more accurately, a IOU for when the book releases.

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:

Tuesday December 20 -- 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.

Wednesday December 21 -- 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.

Thursday December 22 -- 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.

Tuesday December 27 -- 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.

Wednesday December 28 -- 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.

Thursday December 29 -- 2022 Reading Goals Wishlist -- Time to wrap up our 2022 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 December 2022) 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 
ANNOUNCED ON 
SATURDAY December 31 2023.

HAPPY READING EVERYONE
