Joyce asked this question about The Shop on Blossom Street (Blossom Street, #1):
Are the books in this series stand alone or one built on another?
Andrea I just finished the first book "The Shop On Blossom Street" and I started with that book because I want to read the whole series in order. However at …moreI just finished the first book "The Shop On Blossom Street" and I started with that book because I want to read the whole series in order. However at the end of "Shop", there is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of "A Good Yarn" and I honestly felt like I was re-reading "Shop" because Lydia (the main character of "Shop" begins the chapter by reiterating the story almost verbatum from the book. Until I actually read "Good Yarn", I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing that you could start pretty much anywhere in the series and you'd get enough backstory to understand without having to read in order. "Yarn" feels like it's picking up literally where "Shop" left off, so I'm glad that I decided to read them in order. I'm going to do the same with "Cedar Cove" and "Blossom" When I get around to reading those. I'm hoping that with "Cedar Cove", watching the series will a quaint me enough with the characters that I can watch the Hallmark Series on DVD. Hope I didn't bore you with my long-winded answer! =)(less)
