ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) held its annual conference earlier this month. I was fortunate to attend. It was so good! At the close of the conference, the Carol Awards are announced. Excellent timing, since we're entering cozy-reading season!

The Carol Awards are ACFW's recognition for the best Christian fiction published in the previous calendar year.

If you're looking for some great novels to enjoy, read on. These books have risen to the top in competition and beat out some of the best of the year's novels, so they're worth your time.

(Plus, some of these covers absolutely intrigue me!)

In July, I shared the list of Carol Award Finalists. Be sure to check them out, too. Here are the 2025 Carol Award Winners:

I love sharing great novel recommendations. Read on, friends!
