Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Unlikely Huntress by Stephen Maitland-Lewis. In 1959, Giselle Faber, fresh out of university and only months into her first job, stumbled upon a conspiracy that nearly sparked global war and revealed Adolf Hitler hiding in South America. A decade later, older, wiser, married, and raising a child in Buenos Aires, she has tried to put that past behind her, until a chance encounter drags her back into danger. With her husband and uncle by her side, Giselle must once again face ruthless enemies and confront ultimate evil. The risks are greater, the threats more deadly, and this time, failure is not an option.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Forgotten Apocalypse by S.A. Ison. The world ended in fire, famine, and silence. Each morning, Marine Gunnery Sergeant Zain Pratt wakes to relearn the devastating truth. His traumatic brain injury erases his memory with every sunrise, leaving him to piece together fragments of his life through a single worn photograph and fragile journal entries. When a chain of harrowing events uncovers a hidden community of desperate survivors, Zain finds himself caught between hope and despair, where safety can vanish in an instant. As he wanders the ruins in search of a family he cannot remember, he must face the reality of a new existence, and discover that in this unforgiving world, some truths are far more dangerous than forgetting.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Gates of Thiros by Lili K. Buckley. Magic is not a gift at birth—it only awakens in the hour of breaking, and Waenia Wyvarian is on the edge of fracture. She carries a borrowed name, crowned with borrowed blood, raised to serve a kingdom that fears her. To survive, she wears many masks, concealing the face they dread, the one revealed once before the court, when a power she could not control came alive.
She had reshaped herself into something useful, and they praised her for it. Nimara’s poise, her grace, her charm, Waenia borrowed them all. Flirtation became survival, a distraction from the truth. Hearts bruised, whispers spread, but she let them talk. Better they saw a girl with a bleeding heart than something unnameable. A queen could not be a god. Could not be a beast. She had to remain human.
Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Children by Melissa Albert. Guinevere Sharpe grew up in two worlds: the shadowed woods surrounding her family’s remote Vermont farmhouse, and the pages of her mother’s celebrated Ninth City books, where her magical adventures turned her into a household name. But the reality of her childhood was far from the fantasy her mother’s readers adored. She and her brother lived half-wild, hungry and neglected, finding refuge in the mossy forests they claimed as their own.
As Edith Sharpe’s novels rose to global fame, the dangers of rural isolation were replaced by the darker perils of notoriety, until one night everything ended in fire. The series was left unfinished, and only Edith’s children survived.
Now, Guinevere is an adult living in the shadow of her mother’s legacy, promoting a ghostwritten memoir when her estranged brother, an artist who has long rejected their family’s fame, announces a new installation titled Mother. Rumors swirl about a death linked to his last show, and Guinevere’s carefully constructed facade begins to fracture. Memories resurface, forcing her to face the questions she has avoided for decades: what truly happened the night of the fire, and what secrets fueled her mother’s extraordinary genius?

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Permanence by Sophie Mackintosh. Clara and Francis are secretly in love, slipping away from their lives to spend fleeting moments together. One morning, they wake in an unfamiliar apartment with no memory of how they arrived. They find themselves in the Other City, a hidden sanctuary where couples live openly, surrounded by fountains, old squares, and charming cafés. Each day brings ripe fruit on the counter, invisible threads binding lovers together, and the sole responsibility of enjoying one another. Cut off from the real world and subject to the city’s mysterious whims, their stolen afternoons may now last forever.

Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Only a Little While Here by María Ospina Pizano. This award-winning author captures the deep satisfaction that birders and naturalists experience through close, compassionate observation of animals. With her signature grace and curiosity, Ospina focuses on the lives of four creatures: a migrating songbird dazzled by city lights, an orphaned porcupine rescued by human kindness, a devoted dog mourning the loss of her human companion, and a determined beetle carried into an immense, unfamiliar world. The everyday drama of animal life reveals both the fragility and resilience of belonging, and explores what it means to create or lose a home. Each journey compels us to face the beauty and harshness of the world we build around non-human beings. The book offers a powerful reflection on the attention required to heal the divide between humans and animals, honoring their overlooked role as witnesses to our shared existence.
Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Jane and Dan at the End of the World by Colleen Oakley. When Jane and Dan secure dinner reservations at the prestigious and costly La Fin du Monde, Jane decides it’s the perfect moment to tell Dan she wants a divorce. A mother of two, she feels unnecessary to her teenagers, her writing career has stalled, and her only published novel sold fewer than five hundred copies. To make matters worse, she suspects Dan is cheating. Before the second course arrives, however, an activist group storms the dining room. Jane is stunned, not only because she’s suddenly in a hostage situation, but because nearly everything the clumsy activists say and do mirrors scenes from her failed novel. Even Dan, whom she doubted had ever read it, admits the resemblance is uncanny. That means Jane and Dan can anticipate what will happen next, and they’re the only ones who can stop it. This isn’t what Jane imagined when she vowed “’til death do us part,” but if they can survive this ordeal, they might just be able to survive marriage too.
