For a book lover like me, this was a hard list to make. There are so many books that I have enjoyed over the past year! I decided, in order to limit myself and not go overboard, to fashion my list from only trade paperbacks that were published in 2013. (I want to make the disclaimer that there were a handful of Love Inspired/Heartsong Presents books that would have made the list otherwise, and six books published in 2012 or earlier, that I read this year and loved).
So, without further ado…here are my Top 13 of 2013!
Read through this post and then look below for details on the giveaway.
My Favorite Books Published in 2013
(in no particular order)
As I was drifting off to sleep last night, I was frustrated because there was one more book that I really wanted to add to my list but my “Top 13 of 2013” didn’t seem like it would work with a 14th book! Until I woke up this morning and one of my fellow commenters also mentioned this book. I knew I really must add it! So, here it goes…
It is the “And one to grow on…as we enter 2014”.
And now for the giveaway! I want to bless one commenter with one of these books. He or she will have their choice of any one of the above books! You can comment on my blog post from 12/31/13 till 1/6/14. US residents only please. If you are chosen as the winner, you will be emailed (make sure you include your email in your comment) and will have 3 days to respond. If no response is received, I will draw a new winner. Winner can choose one ebook or paperback copy of any of the above novels.
Rules:
1) Please follow my blog
2) Comment with your name & email (in anti-spam format)
3) If chosen, please respond within 3 days
4) US residents only (I apologize to my friends outside of the US)

You and I share the same passion for many of the same books! I would LOVE to win either Joanne Bischof’s newest novel or Judy Hedlund’s newest. Neither one of them is in our local library!
Thank you for such a fun giveaway! There are many good books to pick from and it is a tough decision, but I believe I would love to win a copy of Burning Sky by Lori Denton – always had an interest in Native American history and love their art/jewelry! Thank you for this opportunity and wishing you a blessed 2014!

I agree with Jasmine, what a lovely idea for a giveaway! I have read several of your favorites and I loved them too. Some I haven’t read, so if I win, it will be hard to pick, but I think I have one in mind that I would choose. Whoever wins will be in for a treat with any of these books!
Thanks for this giveaway!
