Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Jean by Madeleine Dunnigan. In 1970s London, seventeen-year-old Jean is a troubled Jewish teen adrift in the counterculture, sent to Compton Manor—a rural boarding school for boys deemed difficult. Isolated even among misfits, Jean finds an unexpected connection with Tom, a charismatic, wealthier classmate. Their friendship blossoms into something deeper, and for the first time, Jean feels possibility in the strange rhythms of his new life: farming chores, poetry readings, pagan rituals. Maybe he’ll even pass his exams. But the divide between them—Tom’s privilege and ease, Jean’s solitude and scholarship—proves harder to bridge than Jean hoped. And as infatuation gives way to heartbreak, Jean must confront the limits of belonging.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by Emily Krempholtz.
With the death of Guy Shadowfade, Violet Thistlewaite is ready to leave her past behind. No more dark magic. No more Thornwitch. She’s determined to be someone new, gentler, kinder, and good. Her fresh start begins in Dragon’s Rest, a charming town where she plans to open a flower shop, tame her sentient (and slightly homicidal) houseplant, and quietly untangle the remnants of her old life.
Her magical blooms and sunny spells win over most of the locals, but not Nathaniel Marsh, the aloof alchemist who shares her greenhouse. He’s too busy trying to salvage his own failing business to care about flowers or the captivating witch next door. But second chances have a way of blooming where you least expect them.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Soulless by Weena Bernabel, a dark and seductive tale of forbidden love and eternal sacrifice.
Malek has roamed the earth for centuries as Death incarnate, a soulless reaper cursed to collect lives without ever truly living. Emotion is foreign to him, tenderness a myth… until he meets Seraphine.
Seraphine is delicate but fierce, wounded yet radiant with a light Malek never knew he needed. Her innocence draws him in, her ocean-blue eyes haunt him, and the bond between them defies every law of the underworld. But love between a mortal and a reaper was never meant to bloom, let alone endure.
As darkness closes in and destiny threatens to rip them apart, Malek realizes that every rule he breaks, every sacrifice he makes, brings them closer to destruction. To protect Seraphine, he would scorch the earth. To keep her, he would surrender his eternity.

Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer, a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and the sacred rules of storytelling. Rainy March is a third-generation book witch, fiercely devoted to protecting fiction from threats both real and imagined. Armed with her enchanted umbrella and accompanied by her feline familiar, she dives into novels to repair twisted plots and rein in unruly characters. But book witches live by strict laws: real people must stay in the real world, and fictional ones in fiction. Never eat, drink, or sleep inside a story, or risk becoming part of it. And falling for a fictional character? Absolutely forbidden. Which is why Rainy is banned from seeing the Duke of Chicago, the charming British sleuth from her favorite mystery series. One more encounter, and she’ll be cast out of her coven, stripped of the magic that defines her.

And when Aphrodite finally reaches her breaking point, she’s ready to rewrite the rules of divinity itself.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Silent Period by Francesca Manfredi, a haunting exploration of silence, solitude, and the fragile threads of connection. Cristina Martino, 28, is stuck—underemployed at a university library, still living with her parents in Turin, and overshadowed by her charming, married sister Elena. One night, while scrolling through Instagram, Cristina deletes her social media accounts. What begins as a simple detox turns into something deeper: she stops speaking altogether. First, she limits herself to written notes, then abandons even those. As Cristina vanishes from the world, Elena sets out to find her, only to stumble into a reality far quieter—and far stranger—than she ever expected. With sharp wit and aching tenderness, Manfredi examines the power and peril of isolation, the limits of language, and the human need to be truly seen.
