Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Aur Child by I.S. Lee. “Meddle not with what we don’t understand.” For centuries, future‑primitive Tellurians have lived in harmony with nature after a technological collapse known in ancient texts as Cloudburst. Only the learned elders know of a hidden virtual civilization in diaspora, one that secretly hungers for their energy and even their bodies. When a fisherman accidentally uncovers signs of others wielding advanced technology, fear and the threat of exposure push both societies toward conflict and force a group of artificial‑intelligence stewards to confront their own failures. As the real and virtual worlds collide, so do the opposing worldviews that have kept them apart for generations.
Nordic noir blends with hard science fiction in I.S. Lee’s twisting debut, Aur Child. It draws readers into a layered, uncertain future where the lines between right and wrong, good and evil, and hero and villain blur under the weight of complexity. Told through the perspectives of flawed characters, the novel challenges the conventions of shallow, spectacle‑driven storytelling and avoids the usual post‑apocalyptic clichés. Instead, it offers a slow-burning epic that carries you through time, reflection, and discovery unlike anything you’ve read before. Will you meddle?
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Younger Gods by Katie Shepard. Iona Night‑Singer believed she had defeated the gods. Her mortal rebellion won a hard‑fought victory by turning the gods’ own powers against them, though it cost her the life of her betrothed, Taran, who fell in a final battle with the god of death. Months later, the war still feels unfinished. Taran is gone, and the gods continue to answer the prayers she sings.
Driven by grief, anger, and the fear that the gods will rise again, Iona makes a desperate bargain with her former patron: if she can persuade Taran to leave the Underworld and return with her, he will live once more. If she fails, they will both be trapped there forever.
But when she finds him, she uncovers a devastating truth. The dead gods have been reborn and are plotting revenge, and Taran, it turns out, was one of them all along. This reincarnated trickster god wearing Taran’s face has no memory of her or the war they fought side by side, leaving Iona unsure of his loyalty and even more uncertain of his love.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for The Magic of Untamed Hearts by Raquel Vasquez Gilliland. Sky Flores, like her sisters Sage and Teal, carries a spark of magic, and it’s brought her nothing but trouble. Years ago, she vanished into the woods and returned with no explanation, and ever since, she’s found it easier to speak with animals than with people. Seen as strange and untrustworthy, she’s become an outsider in the small town of Cranberry.
Her neighbor, Adam Noemi, is facing his own crisis. Recently laid off from a major newspaper, he’s desperate for a story big enough to revive his career. Sky, whose mysterious past has long fascinated the media, seems like the perfect lead. She agrees to give him an exclusive interview with someone she once befriended in a very public, unforgettable way, hoping it will finally prove she’s more than the town oddity.
But as Sky opens up and Adam listens, their arrangement deepens into something far more meaningful. For their connection to flourish, Adam must embrace a world that challenges everything he thought he knew, and Sky must allow her wild, wonder-filled heart to trust someone new.
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.
