a Kindle Colorsoft, Sweepstakes: Win Kindle Colorsoft, a Kate Spade suede…

One Winner Gets the Complete Reading Prize

The selected winner receives every item in the advertised prize package. It is not a choice between the Kindle, handbag or books, and the five novels are not being divided among separate winners.

The technology component is a Kindle Colorsoft, an e-reader designed to display color content as well as standard reading pages. It is paired with a Kate Spade suede shoulder bag. Kensington Books lists the handbag at a value of $159; that figure should not be mistaken for the stated value of the entire prize package.

The winner also receives deluxe editions of all five named books: Chasing the Wild, Braving the Storm, Taming the Heart, Saving the Rain and Crimson Ridge Christmas. Together, the physical books, e-reader and shoulder bag make this a coordinated prize for someone who enjoys reading both print and digital titles.

How to Enter the Kensington Books Sweepstakes

For the online method, visit the official Kensington Books signup page during the entry period. Complete the requested fields with an email address you actively monitor, check the information for typing errors and submit the entry as directed.

The online submission signs you up for Kensington Books’ Between the Chapters newsletter. That subscription is an important part of this entry method, not a separate bonus-entry opportunity. Readers should account for the newsletter signup before submitting.

A mail-in entry option is also available. Because mailing details and formatting requirements can determine whether an entry is valid, use the current instructions displayed on the official promotion page rather than guessing at an address or envelope format. Allow enough delivery time for a mailed entry to arrive as required.

Why One Careful Entry Is the Best Strategy

The entry limit is one entry per email address. This is not a daily-entry sweepstakes, so there is no need to return every morning or maintain a reminder calendar throughout September.

Your best strategy is to make one accurate submission. Use an email address that will remain active through the drawing and notification period, and verify its spelling before you finish. A mistyped address could prevent a winner message from reaching you.

Do not treat the online and mail-in methods as permission to exceed the stated limit. Choose the method that works for you and follow its directions carefully. Repeated online submissions are not a way to improve your chances when the promotion expressly limits entries by email address.

After entering, save a private note with the promotion name and closing date. This can help you recognize a legitimate follow-up without repeatedly submitting the form. There is no instant result to watch for because the winner will be chosen in a random drawing after the giveaway closes.

Who Can Enter and Where It Is Void

The Kensington Books email signup sweepstakes is open to eligible residents of the United States and Canada who are at least 18 years old. The promotion is void in Rhode Island and Quebec, so residents of those locations cannot participate.

Being 18 does not override the geographic restrictions. Entrants need to satisfy both the age and residency requirements when they enter. If you move during the promotion or are uncertain how your residence is determined, consult the official terms before submitting.

Canadian entrants should pay particular attention to any winner-verification directions that may apply to them. The confirmed promotion facts establish eligibility in Canada outside Quebec, but the official terms remain the place to review any location-specific steps connected with claiming a prize.

The September 30 Deadline Is in Eastern Time

The entry period begins September 1, 2026, and ends September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Entries attempted after that cutoff should not be expected to qualify.

Readers in other time zones should convert the closing time instead of assuming the sweepstakes remains open until local midnight. Entering earlier in September also reduces the risk of a weak connection, a delayed page or an overlooked form error on the final night.

Mail-in entrants need to follow the official timing requirements for that method. A postmark and an arrival deadline are not necessarily interchangeable, so read the posted mailing instructions before sending anything. The online deadline alone should not be used to infer when a mailed entry must be sent or received.

Watch for the Winner Message and 48-Hour Response Window

One potential winner will be selected in a random drawing after the giveaway closes. Entering early does not change the random selection process, but it does give you time to correct an entry problem before the deadline if the official page identifies one.

The selected winner must respond within 48 hours. That is a short claim window, so check the inbox connected to your entry after September 30. Review spam, promotions and filtered folders as well as the main inbox, and make sure your mailbox has room to receive new messages.

Before responding, confirm that the message genuinely relates to the Kensington Books promotion you entered. Check the sender information closely and compare any requested steps with the official rules. Be cautious with unexpected attachments, look-alike addresses and messages that create pressure unrelated to the stated 48-hour response requirement.

A real winner notification may require information needed to confirm eligibility and arrange prize delivery. However, do not send payment, passwords or financial account credentials in response to an unsolicited message. If anything appears inconsistent, return independently to the official Kensington Books website and use its published contact route to verify the communication.

What to Check Before You Submit

Confirm that you are at least 18, live in an eligible U.S. state or Canadian province, and are comfortable receiving the Between the Chapters newsletter if you use the online method. Then verify your email address and submit only once under the stated limit.

Keep September 30, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET in mind, but avoid waiting until the final minutes. After entering, monitor the same email account following the drawing and be prepared to respond promptly if selected.

The main unusual details are easy to remember: the online entry includes a newsletter signup, a mail-in option exists, only one winner receives the complete package, and that winner has 48 hours to respond. A careful entry and an attentive inbox are the most useful steps you can take.
