Week in Review 12/28/19 to 1/4/20 & a Giveaway

January 4, 2020 by Suzie Waltner 103 Comments

 

Week in Review

 

Happy New Year, reader friends! I hope you were able to ring in 2020 the way you wanted, whether that was a night on the town or a quiet one at home.

With the start of a new year, I’ll be implementing a few changes here at Remembrancy. The biggest one you’re going to see if fewer reviews from me. There will still be plenty but my big goal in 2020 is to focus more on my writing and that means I have to limit the number of books I read. You will, however, see more spotlights and guest posts. And I’ll continue to share the giveaways happening around the web that I’m aware of.

The other big change you’re going to notice is that these weekly giveaways are going to become biweekly giveaways. Between publishers limiting the number of print copies they sent out and postage, this was the best compromise I could come up with to still give my readers a small thanks for visiting while making them more manageable for me. There might be some bonus giveaways thrown in for fun, though.

May 2020 be filled with blessings, laughter, and tons of wonderful books!

    Am currently cautiously reading Every Storm by Lori Wick, a somewhat new-to-me author to me, and, I feel, a little “too graphic”. . . My favorite CF is Romantic Suspense, although I like may other genres as well. I am familiar with some of these authors you are promoting in this giveaway, and it looks like a wonderful series! Would truly love to win any print books! Thanks, again, for this opportunity! God bless!
