By Jody Hedlund, @JodyHedlund
My readers blow me away. Often. Whether through emails, facebook messages, twitter, or elsewhere, I've been extremely blessed with supportive readers.
I, for one, don't take for granted the lovely outpouring of support my readers offer. They're busy people with lots of favorite authors and plenty of books to choose to read these days. So when a reader takes the time to connect with me, I do my best to connect back.
I did a recent post sharing some of the creative ways that readers helped support my recent release, A Noble Groom: 7 Ideas for Crafting Creative Book Reviews.
Just last week, another reader, Monica Bruenjes drew an illustration of the characters in A Noble Groom. Here it is:
Make sure you check out Monica's website for all of her other fantastic illustrations!
Didn't she do a fantastic job?! I was SUPER delighted when she alerted me to her post with the picture she'd drawn with such a wonderful representation of the main characters, especially the little daughter Gretchen getting a pony-ride from the hero and falling asleep on his back. She looks so realistic and adorable.
Even more than the awesome picture, I'm grateful for Monica's support, her initiative to do something like this with my novel, and her willingness to share it.
While all my readers may not be drawing illustrations or doing video reviews, they are still awesome!
So I wanted to send out a short but sweet thank you to all my readers everywhere. Thank you for reading my books, for promoting them, and for encouraging me.
Yes, I love writing and I'd likely do it even if I was the only reader of my books. But . . . my experience as an author is all that much richer because of YOU and your excitement and enthusiasm over my books!
To show my appreciation to all my wonderful readers, I'm giving away a packet of five books to one lucky winner. Four are recent Bethany House releases from author friends: Tracie Peterson, Carol Cox, Siri Mitchell, and Becky Wade.
The fifth is one choice from any of my books:

Love to you all! So tell me, what's on your reading list for the summer?
What books aren't on my summer reading list is the question. Too many books, too little time! I shared this on pinterest and also facebook. Thanks Jody!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for writing books that keep readers coming back! I shared this on facebook.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThat drawing is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteMy reading list is huge, but since I have so many writer friends with new releases out, this summer those are topping the list.
I would love to win these books for our church library - I have so many books I would love to read this summer - good book, compfy chair = happy lady - I shared this on facebook
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to read all the way through the Bible, so I guess that's my reading list for the summer. :)
ReplyDeleteMy reading list for this summer consists of the 24 books left on my TBR list! My goal every year is to finish reading all of the books I own (I haven't met it yet) with a sub goal of finishing all of the books I read prior to that year. I'm currently down to 24 unread books which include some of these authors: Melody Carlson, Sarah Sundin, Margaret Brownley, Amanda Cabot, Laurie Kingery, Vicki Hinze, Julie Lessman, Laurie Alice Eakes, and others! I also should get some other books for review!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great giveaway and for being such an amazing author!
I would love to win, Jody. I own most of these already, but I have a young friend at church who loves to read and is not able financially to buy many books, so I will give them to her!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing on Facebook and Pinterest.

ReplyDeleteHi Jody!
ReplyDeleteI love Monica's illustrations. What a talented lady. I can't draw a straight line to save myself!:)
I realise I'm ineligible for the draw,but thought I would make mention anyway. Good Luck to the lucky winner!
Speaking for myself,as an avid Reader,it is very easy for me to promote your books,as you have an incredible gift for luring Readers to your novels and immediately captivate my interest.
Since discovering your books just recently and enjoying them immensely,I certainly have no hesitation in promoting them as a... "Must Read"!
My TBR pile is growing larger by the minute, but a cosy fire and snuggling down on a comfy lounge..AH! What better way to enjoy my "Winter" reading.LOL
Keep writing Jody and I'll keep reading!:)
Love all your books and the other ones look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteAlso shared on twitter. Thanks for the contest!
I'm hoping to read Insurgent and Outpost!
ReplyDelete-Britt T.
I'm sharing this on twitter and Facebook! I hope I win so I may choose A Noble Groom for my summer reading list :-)

I would love to win these books for my mother since her birthday is June 21rst. Then she will let me read them. ;) I have a lot of books on my summer reading list but right now I am reading The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for planning a book giveaway! Always love reading more books. I've recently read your "The Doctor's Lady" & thoroughly enjoyed it, as well as the perspective on the early days of life on the pioneer trail and early mission work. Now in the middle of The Preacher's Bride (among about 6 other books-in-progress!) Corrine R, Des Moines, IA :)
ReplyDeleteI have so many books to read and would love to add these to my list! I liked and shared on twitter and pintrest. My email is MrsJaysonJ@aol.com. Thanks for this great give away. :)
ReplyDeleteI love to read and have several books from the authors you are giving away. My family gave me a Kindle several years ago and have a nice collection from Bethany on that. But there is nothing like having a paper book in your hands. I would very much like to receive your giveaway but, if it's not me, than whoever - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteShared on Facebook.
Well, I just finished NOBLE GROOM last week and loved it! I am currently reading Janice Cantore's AVENGED, the third in a series; very good book for lovers of suspense. I have Randy Singer's new book, Rachel Hauck's new book, and Connie Mann's new book at the top of my reading stack. And all four giveaways are on my "want to read" list on Goodreads. And I need another copy of "The Doctor's Lady". The one I purchased had a section of the story missing . . . the wedding, no less. Even with missing pages, it was a spectacular story.
ReplyDeleteRebecca,
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear that you got one of the defective books. If you'd like to send me your mailing address through my contact page, please do so! I can pass it along to my publisher and they would be more than happy to send you a new copy free of charge.
My list is long, but The Noble Groom is on my list, as well as, Deadly Devotion, and Icecutter's Daughter. So excited about your giveaway. Thanks. Will be sharing and post comment when I do. amylsmith(at)bledsoe(dot)net

ReplyDeleteI have so many books on my reading list that it’s hard to name just a few. I am an avid reader and have challenged myself to read and review 100 books this year on Goodreads. So far, I’m on target with it. Occasionally, an author will specifically ask me to read and review their novel and I am always totally thrilled and honored to do so.
ReplyDeleteI want you to know that the cartoon of the characters of “A Noble Groom" is absolutely perfect. It’s my idea of a real hero. A man who can take the time to play with a child is top of the list!
I love all of these authors you mention here and I know their books are terrific. Nothing would tickle me more than to be the winner of your generous giveaway. Thanks so much for offering it. All the best!

ReplyDeleteA couple of days ago, I finished reading A Noble Groom. What a fantastic book! I know a book is well written when I fall a bit in love with the hero! I'm currently reading Cynthia Ruchti's new book, When The Morning Glory Blooms. It is a powerful book that often moves me to tears. Next up is Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer. I never lack for something to read. I think the term "chain reader" would apply to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing such wonderful books and also for giving away books to a blessed reader.

What a great package of books! Love those authors!
ReplyDeleteMy Summer Reading list is so vast I could go on and on nearly forever ;)
A few books that I already have on my TBR shelf include, A Wedding For Julia (Chapman), Not This Time (Hinze), Sweet Mercy (Tatlock) The Fairest Beauty (Dickerson), Unending Devotion (Hedlund), Don't Take Any Wooden Nickles (Starns Clark), Veil Of Pearls (Tyndall), The Reliance (Tyndall), The Restitution (Tyndall), Love Finds You In Glacier Bay Alaska (Goyer/Fleiss)), A Most Peculiar Circumstance (Turano)..... I have so many more but I can't remember titles right now. Don't know if I will get them all read but I am sure going to try!
Blessings!

P.S. I shared on Facebook and Twitter. I have a Pinterest account but don't quite know how to pin yet.
I don't usually win stuff so it would be exciting to win books- my fave hobby! have a long list of books to read from Colleen Coble to Davis Bunn to Jody Hedlund :) Unending Devotion is on my kindle!

So excited that A Noble Groom is first on my summer reads list. Just received it recently and because I was already buried in my reading list I loaned it to two friends. They have raved about it and now I've moved it up to next on my list! Thank you for the wonderful novels that combine a great story with beautiful Christian principles.
ReplyDeleteAfter 16 yrs of homeschooling, this summer I plan to relax and catch up on some reading and look for new divine direction. I read all of Julie Klassen’s books and glad I found you on her website. Excited to start on your books!!~~~AJ
