I have seven prizes for you this year. Read on to learn more about each prize and then find out how to enter!
A Noble Companion is historical-esque, non-magical fantasy with talking animals and dragons living alongside humans in a fairy tale world based on 1800s Spanish California. It's Christian YA with some mild western violence, no cussing, and a few lightly described kisses.
Prize Two: a used DVD copy of Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), a fun fantasy adventure starring Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, and Eleanor Tomlinson. It's rated PG-13 for "intense scenes of fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief language." It has some kissing, quite a bit of fantasy violence, and several cuss words (including the F word once). I didn't show it to my kids until they were all at least 13. It's a really fun movie, but definitely not intended for little kids.
Prize Three: four bookmarks (set one) depicting classic fairy tales

This giveaway is open worldwide! It ends at 11:59pm EST on Friday, February 13.

I do my best to match prizes with winners based on the order the random number generator chooses the winners in. I cannot guarantee that winners will receive their top choice of prize.

Exciting!!! I just wanted to double-check that UK addresses are all right, because of the complication last time - I don't want to make life difficult for you! I'm really looking forward to doing the tag and maybe doing my own post as well :D
ReplyDeleteCecilia, I have saved up some money to send off the prizes this time around , now that I know overseas packages jumped so high :-) It just caught me by surprise last time I held a giveaway and tried sending things to Europe!
DeleteMy first prize choice would of course be A Noble Companion, second Jack the giant slayer dvd, third fairytale bookmarks
DeleteI love your Instagram photo style. It is so inviting.
DeleteI follow you on Goodreads and have 6 books marked as to read 2 marked as read.
DeleteMy first choice would be A Noble Companion, the second would be the classic fairytale bookmarks, and the third, set two of the stickers.
DeleteI've taken a look at your Instagram profile and I love how consistent the photos are, thematically! That's something I struggle with on my instagram, I have to say...
DeleteI've also looked at your website and I loved reading through the synopses of the Once Upon a Western series! I must check those out.
DeleteI've also been signed up to your newsletter for a while.
DeleteHa, and finally (I feel kinda bad doing this many comments, but I think I should've done them all separately!) here is the link to my first post: https://craftcoffeeandcake.blogspot.com/2026/02/we-love-fairy-tales-week-tag.html
DeleteAnd the second! https://craftcoffeeandcake.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-six-swans-dreamcast.html
DeleteI went to your Instagram page and I love the aesthetic arrangement of your books, especially the picture that has Aesop's Fables, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Grimms Fairy Tales and The Blue Fairy book.
ReplyDeleteAnd your Count of Monte Cristo collection is impressive too.
Thanks, Ivy Miranda! I don't spend more than a few minutes setting up each picture, but I have been doing Bookstagram pictures for 8 years now, so I have learned a thing or two along the way :-)
DeleteI went to your Goodreads page and marked The Souls of Lost Lake to-read.
ReplyDeleteI went to website and was surprised that your last name is completely phonetic! For years I thought it Koh-vuh-cheny!
ReplyDeleteIvy Miranda, haha! It gets pronounced in many different (incorrect) ways ;-)

ReplyDeleteMovie review: The Swan Princess (1994)
ReplyDeleteMovie review: Le Belle et la Bete
DeleteThank you for this amazing giveaway I receive your newsletter
ReplyDeleteI am following you on GR and marked a few of your books To read and I love reading print books
ReplyDeleteI would love the first prize featuring A NOBLE COMPANION! My runner up choices would be the bookmarks!
ReplyDeleteI visited Goodreads and have marked a book as "to read."
ReplyDeleteI visited your Instagram. One of the things I love about your Instagram is how you fearlessly embrace your own unique vibe!
ReplyDeleteAllison, well, that is a very lovely way of putting it :-) "Stuck in a rut and unwilling to change" might be another, as I has simply refused to be super obsessed with whatever the most-popular style of posts is at the time, lol!
DeleteI have signed up for your author newsletter. :)
ReplyDeleteI visited your author website! I have to say, I have a soft spot for the "about the author" page. :)
ReplyDeleteI am interested in Prize 1, prize 3, or prize 4. I would not like to receive prize 2 (the movie)
ReplyDeleteI went through your Instagram page, and I LOVED the huge stack of books you displayed that all had "noble" in their title. That was cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jordynne! Those are all from a single series -- and they look so cool arranged by color instead of by release date, don't they?
DeleteI have visited your Goodreads and have Rock and Refuge as to be read
ReplyDeleteI am on your newsletter list (how I found this giveaway)
ReplyDeleteI checked out your author website, and I like the "Once Upon a Western Series" page. It was really neat to see the awards you've won through your work.
ReplyDeleteI took a tour to your Goodreads profile, and while all the books looked delicious, I restrained myself to marking only five or six of them as "to read", including A Noble Companion, and My Rock and My Refuge.
ReplyDeleteThis is AWESOME! I love prizes 1, 2, and 5. I've never seen that movie! As i already have this and have read and love it, prize 1 would go to a very dear friend of mine who is saying goodbye to her uncle/ 2nd dad as I type this. The stickers, we'll I would selfishly keep. Ha! Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get your book and wouldn't open the gifts with their pages :) I would also like the cottage stickers
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I mean, it's definitely not a mandate! Especially if you've read it before :-D
DeleteMy top 3 prize choices would be #1, #5, and #7 :) and I've already subscribed to your newsletter!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite things about your photos is how different and creative they are! You do a really good job with your instagram.
ReplyDeleteThank you Katja! I have learned a lot over the past 8 years about where to find good light in my house, what set-ups work best for me, and when I'm getting bored by a set-up area and need to find a new one.
DeleteThe only one of your books I haven't yet read was your Jane Eyre study guide, which I am super interested in and already marked as want to read, if that counts :)
ReplyDeleteThe page on your author website the most interesting to me is The West of Yester-year page! I want to read those articles and just reminded myself of it this morning.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway, Rachel :)
Katja, I'm starting to think that maybe when I have been writing that column for 10 years, I'll see if I can reach an agreement with the paper to put out a collection of the articles as a book. Because yeah, twelve articles a year, 800-1,000 words an article -- that would be a pretty good-sized book! And maybe kinda fun to page through.
DeleteI would be interested in prizes 1, 3, or 4
ReplyDeleteI have visited your Goodreads page and marked Cloaked and A Noble Companion as to-read
ReplyDeleteI visited your Instagram page. I like your movie recommendations, I have never watched the 1978 version of Little Women. And I have never read the book Lilies of the Field, but I loved the movie
ReplyDeleteI visited your author website. I liked your Prairie Times page The West of Yester-Year. I have always liked reading about true stories of the old west
