Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Water Lilies of Mishipeshu by Karla Cruise. During a time of war and cultural upheaval, Marguerite—a woman of both French and Native American heritage—and her British lieutenant lover create a botanical manuscript at a remote wilderness outpost. Within its pages lie the guarded secrets of an ancient medicine society, including a perilous formula for a hallucinogen capable of granting visions or causing death. As foreign powers advance across the land, generations fight to protect and hide this “lost” manuscript.
The narrative spans centuries, from the destruction of a local fort by Native American tribes to the rise of White settlers and industrial expansion. Despite relentless efforts to erase Indigenous knowledge, the manuscript survives in secrecy until a graduate student stumbles upon it. Her discovery ignites a race to keep it out of the hands of a powerful pharmaceutical corporation. Teaming up with an ecology student, she embarks on a gripping underground journey to heal the land and return the manuscript to those it truly belongs to.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Ship of Theseus by Garry Harper. Just as Pablo pursues perfection in his art, the novel itself will continue to evolve, refine, and reinvent over time. Every few months, a new free update will replace the previous one. Plotlines may shift, characters may appear or disappear, and the structure may be reshaped and experimented with. Each version stands on its own, yet together they form a living work that gradually transforms into something far removed from where it began. Once the book updates, there’s no returning to earlier versions, no archive, and no print edition. If you’re satisfied, you can keep the latest version and consider the story complete. But if you want to see what comes next, you can continue forward. The choice is yours.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub. 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. On the night before her 40th birthday, Alice feels… fine. Her job is decent, her apartment suits her, her independence feels solid, and she treasures her best friend. Still, with her father’s health failing, she can’t shake the sense that something in her life is incomplete.
Then she wakes up in 1996, on her 16th birthday. The shock of being back in her teenage body is nothing compared to seeing her father again, vibrant and full of life in his forties. With this new vantage point on both her past and her present, Alice begins to see old moments in a different light. And as she moves between who she was and who she’s become, she’s forced to consider what, if anything, she would change if given the chance.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Moonshine Women by Michelle Collins Anderson. Set in the Prohibition‑era Missouri Ozarks, this story follows three sisters who step into their father’s moonshine trade, a tale rich with reinvention, fierce loyalty, and the transformative power of love, perfect for fans of Jeannette Walls, Fannie Flagg, Sue Monk Kidd, and Donna Everhart.
Every batch of Strong moonshine carries its own unique character, thanks to the secret additions their mother, Lidy Strong, stirs into the corn mash. Whether it’s peaches, melon, or vibrant berries, her special touch gives their “shine” its legendary reputation and keeps the family afloat after the post–Great War collapse in crop prices.
The Strong sisters are as different as the flavors in their still. Rebecca, the eldest, is steady and stoic, happiest among her animals or roaming the woods. Elsie, the middle sister, is gentle and lovely, yearning for a life beyond the farm’s borders. And Jace, the fiery youngest, nicknamed “Shine,” is known for her red hair, bold spirit, and natural talent for distilling.
