Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Pawn by T.K. Leigh. He believed I was nothing more than a pawn in his game, but even pawns can rise to become queens. He kidnapped me, lied to me, and betrayed me. Now Henry Fontaine insists he’s the only one who can keep me alive. Maybe he’s right, but survival always demands a price. Trusting the man who once held me captive feels like stepping back into a cage I swore I’d never return to. I should walk away. I should run. Yet every time I try, something pulls me back to him—the monster in the shadows with a touch that feels like damnation and eyes that promise salvation. He claims he wants to protect me, that he’d burn the world down before letting anyone hurt me. But men like Henry always have another lie, another secret, another move waiting on the board. Can I trust him enough to believe he’s finally telling the truth, or am I still just a pawn in his game of revenge?

Guided by Hermes, Hecate, Artemis, Hephaestus, Medusa, and Hygieia, she slowly uncovers her past, along with the painful truths that come with it.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Your Tomorrow Was Today by Oyindamola Dosunmu. Karen has spent years crafting an independent life in the city, far from her fractured family and with no space left for love, until she learns of her mother’s sudden death. The news shatters the stability she’s built, forcing her to confront painful memories and the sister she abandoned ten years earlier. As grief resurfaces alongside old resentment, Karen’s life becomes even more complicated: she’s pregnant, her secret affair with a younger colleague has been exposed, and Omo is gravely ill. Caught between cultural expectations of love, duty, and motherhood, Karen finds refuge in The Women’s Group, a community of strong, unyielding women who push her to face the truth that forgiveness isn’t always mutual and love can appear in unexpected ways. Set against the vivid backdrop of modern Lagos City and Eastern Nigeria, Your Tomorrow Was Today is a moving exploration of autonomy, identity, and the choices that define us.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for A Real Collusion by Stu Strumwasser. The novel follows a man who unexpectedly becomes the leader of an independent political movement that comes close to disrupting America’s two‑party system, all while uncovering a conspiracy that influences the outcome of the 2016 election. It delves into universal themes of loss and the struggle between justice and power. As the narrator notes in the opening line, “Ordinary people often do extraordinary things,” and the characters embody that idea as the story unfolds through sharp, satirical political drama. At its heart, it’s also a story about everyday people grappling with lost love, alienation, and widespread disillusionment, finding strength in loyalty and friendship.
The book centers on John Campbell, an ordinary man from Manhattan’s Lower East Side, whose story is told by his friend Skip Winters. Skip becomes John’s campaign manager and eventually a congressman himself. He recounts the remarkable rise of John Campbell and The American Coalition, a movement that gains massive grassroots support, raising over a hundred million dollars, and grows into a genuine threat to the long‑standing dominance of the Democratic and Republican parties. References to real events and political figures, including Trump and John McCain, give the story a grounded, alternate‑reality feel. As Skip digs deeper, he uncovers a hidden conspiracy within the political system, one involving murder, the destruction of his friend, and the manipulation of the election. Ultimately, the novel becomes Skip’s exposé of the secret cooperation between the two major parties, a partnership designed to preserve the duopoly that, in some ways, mirrors reality.

Irene must decide whether to chase her dreams of education and independence or risk being pulled under by her mother’s unfulfilled hopes.
