Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Messy Years by Alexandra Speck Slater. Maeve, Hadley, and Lizzie once believed they’d have life neatly mapped out, but love, loss, and unexpected turns have a way of undoing even the best-laid plans. Once inseparable in college, the trio now faces the chaos of adulthood on Boston’s South Shore. Maeve, still grieving the sudden death of her husband, is determined to rebuild, until Pope, a polished golden boy, steals her promotion and begins to break through the walls around her heart. Hadley, a Southern Belle newlywed, struggles with infertility while clinging to her dream of a perfect life that feels increasingly out of reach. Lizzie, a glamorous and ambitious realtor, is unraveling, haunted by her divorce, fixated on her ex, and questioning every decision that brought her here.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Football by Chuck Klosterman. Klosterman, New York Times bestselling cultural critic, journalist, and unapologetic football obsessive, didn’t write this book to make you love the sport more, impress people at parties, improve your betting odds, or confirm what you already believe. Yet it manages to do all of that, while aiming for something bigger. Cultural theorists describe hyperobjects as phenomena so vast they’re almost invisible, and football fits the bill. In 2023, 93 of the 100 most-watched television programs in America were pro football games. The Oscars came in at number 40, while number 39 was a meaningless matchup between the Colts and Jaguars. This dominance is no fluke, and no other country has a sport with such a grip—not even Brazil with soccer. Stranger still, in a three-hour broadcast, the actual live action averages just eleven minutes. It’s like watching The Fast and the Furious, where 95 percent of the runtime is spent at the gas pump.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Second Dance by Tess Thompson. One unforgettable summer in New York City, Gillian Horton met Alex Garcia, the boy who made her laugh, dream, and fall deeply in love. Then tragedy changed everything. Gillian returned home to raise her infant niece, while Alex went back to MIT, and their love story ended without a word. Fourteen years later, Gillian has built a quiet life in Willet Cove. Grace, the niece she raised, is now a teenager longing for a father. What Gillian doesn’t realize is that Grace and her friends have secretly created a dating profile for her. The first match nearly stops Grace’s heart. Alex Garcia, now a widowed billionaire and single father of two. Seeing Alex again shakes Gillian to her core, especially when his children raise painful questions about whether he had a family during the summer he loved her. But as Grace soon learns, the truth is far more complicated and perhaps more hopeful than her mother ever imagined.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for A Most Worthy Husband by Faye Delacour. Hannah Williams has no desire for a marriage like her parents’ and would rather remain a spinster, supporting herself by helping run her sister-in-law’s gambling club. Yet despite her clever schemes to drive suitors away, her mother refuses to give up. Determined to reclaim control of her future, Hannah devises a bold plan: she’ll ruin herself with a man so scandalous that no one would dare push them to the altar, ensuring her freedom forever. What could go wrong?
Silas Corbyn is the very definition of trouble. Cast out by his family and dishonorably discharged from the Navy after clashing with a cruel superior, society has written him off without hearing his side. When a former Navy friend offers him work as a dealer at a lady’s gambling club, Silas has no intention of jeopardizing the opportunity, until Hannah proposes an outrageous bargain. For one kiss, she offers him a sum of money that could change his life. Against his better judgment, Silas finds himself tempted by both the offer and the woman bold enough to make it.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Perfect Specimen by M. Luke McDonell. Dr. Derek Singh believes that among the millions of venomous insects on planet Victoria lies the cure for cancer—and the chance to revive his faltering career. But night after night, his traps yield nothing, and his rivals refuse to share their findings. With his two-year grant running out, Derek is desperate. Then his young neighbor Mia, one of the few native-born children, learns he studies “bugs” and eagerly begins supplying him with specimens. Derek fears she’ll be hurt by a bite or sting, but soon realizes the greater danger comes not from the insects, but from the powerful corporation funding his research.
