Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Queen Esther by John Irving. A sweeping, emotionally charged novel tracing the life of Esther Nacht. Born in Vienna in 1905, Esther’s journey begins in tragedy: her father dies en route to Portland, Maine, and her mother is murdered by anti-Semites shortly after arriving. With no family willing to adopt her, Dr. Larch faces a heartbreaking reality.
At fourteen, Esther is on the brink of becoming a ward of the state when Dr. Larch introduces her to the Winslows, a generous New England family known for fostering children others won’t. Though not Jewish, the Winslows stand firmly against anti-Semitism, and Esther’s bond with them becomes a lifelong devotion. Even as she returns to Vienna to uncover her past, her loyalty to the Winslows never wavers.
The story closes in Jerusalem in 1981, where Esther, now seventy-six, reflects on a life shaped by loss, resilience, and enduring love.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Children of the Gods by S.A. Klopfenstein, a sweeping fantasy where ancient power, buried secrets, and personal destiny collide. In a world fractured by war and ruled by the ruthless Attican Empire and its terrifying Dragonmounts, the fate of entire nations rests in the hands of a few: a shaman, a huntress, a soldier, and a rebel spy.
The Faltari are a people blessed by the gods, gifted with extraordinary abilities, but they’ve chosen isolation over conquest. On the Isle of Faltara, young Malik dreams of more than the quiet life of a village shaman. His best friend Riese feels the pull of a greater purpose, even as duty binds her to the familiar.
But their island holds secrets, ancient truths that have protected the Faltari for generations. When those secrets begin to unravel, Malik and Riese must confront the legacy of their people and embrace a destiny that could reshape the world. What awaits them is far more than they ever imagined.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Fireflies in Winter by Eleanor Shearer. A lyrical and atmospheric tale of survival, connection, and resilience set against the stark beauty of a frozen landscape. It’s 1796, and Cora has just arrived from Jamaica, orphaned and unprepared for the biting cold of an unfamiliar land. As winter deepens, the community retreats indoors, clinging to warmth and routine. But one night, Cora glimpses a shadow moving through the trees. Surely it’s a trick of the light, until she steps into the moonlit snow and finds footprints leading into the woods.
Agnes is used to being unseen. She’s been living in hiding, surviving alone in the wilderness, careful never to leave a trace. But when she spots Cora, something shifts. Fear grips her, yet so does curiosity. Cora is bold, unafraid, and drawn to the mystery of the forest.
As their paths intertwine, both women must confront the secrets they carry and the choices that shaped them. In the silence of winter, a fragile bond begins to form, one that could change everything.
