Enter the GoodReads giveaway for This Book Made Me Think of You by Libby Page. Tilly Nightingale is stunned when she gets a call saying a birthday gift from her husband is waiting for her at the local bookshop—especially since she hasn’t picked up a book for fun in ages, and because Joe passed away five months earlier.
When she arrives, Alfie, the gentle-eyed bookshop owner, explains that Joe arranged a yearlong gift: twelve books, each paired with a handwritten letter meant to guide her through her first year without him. Though Tilly can’t imagine losing herself in a story again, Joe’s words persuade her to try, and soon she finds herself drawn deeply into the books he chose.
As she returns to the shop each month, her conversations with Alfie bring comfort, and the books inspire her to embark on new adventures that take her far beyond her familiar world. And as she begins sharing her experiences, Tilly discovers that her journey, like any good story, grows richer when it becomes something she can pass on to others.

Known for her warmth, wit, and sharp insight, Straub reimagines the classic time‑travel tale as an unexpected love story between a daughter and her father.

Still, with her father’s health failing, she can’t shake the sense that something in her life is incomplete.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Babington's Treasure Map by David Kentish and journey to the land down under, far south of the equator. Timothy Ignatius Merriweather spent much of his youth alongside his aging grandfather, who shared his name. The old man’s tales were often thrilling, but one in particular lingered in Tim’s mind, prompting endless questions. His grandfather had served in the Royal Navy, beginning as a cabin boy aboard HMS Vertigo and rising through the ranks. He recounted how the ship once rescued sailors from a sinking vessel and salvaged its cargo, though much of it had to be buried on a remote island. The secrets of that mission lay hidden in his grandfather’s sea chest. Following in his footsteps, young Tim joined the navy as a cabin boy on HMS Vigilant, with strict instructions not to uncover the map concealed in the chest until his twenty-first birthday. Fate intervened when a disaster struck, devastating the Vigilant near the Australian coast south of where Port Hedland would later stand. The ship and its crew were lost, save for the cabin boy and the sea chest that held the key to the mystery.
