That is a very interesting choice Gail! I live in Tucson and not all that far from where the shooting happened last January. Definitely has been interesting around here. She is definitely a great example of recovery from the worst of situations.

[Gail]

Thanks for your comment Camille, I am really enjoying reading it and what in inspiration she and her husband are!

I just finished reading The Lost Quilter by Jennifer Chiaverini. What an awesome, heart-wrenching story!! I think I would rate this a perfect 10. It continues the story of Joanna, a young pregnant, runaway slave who is taken in by some sympathetic abolitionist women in Pennsylvania in 1859, just prior to the start of the Civil War. The story begins in Book #4, The Runaway Quilt in the Elm Creek Quilts series.

This is a wonderful series. I highly recommend it.

[Jessica]

Finished reading Plain Promise by Beth Wiseman last night. It was so good! I think it's my favorite in the series so far. I was so excited about starting the 4th book in the series that I went out in the pouring rain last night to get it from the library. I'm already on chapter 3. I love this series and I'm going to be sad to see it end.

[Sarah]

Oh, I love the Daughters of the Promise series!!! I hope you enjoy the rest of it!

[Paula-O]

I read Kelly Long's Patchwork Quilt series book #1 "Sarah's Garden" not long ago and am now reading book #2 "Lily's Wedding Quilt", both good stories, you will enjoy them if you have not read Kelly's books before...

I own "Sarah's Garden" I'll have to read it now. I've marked "Lily's Wedding Quilt" as to be read.

[Kristy]

I read this book and enjoyed it. I like Patricia Davids.

[Barbara]

I finished Love Finds You in Liberty, Indiana by Melanie Dobson and have started Something Old by Dianne Christner

[Paula-O]

I have finished Lily's wedding quilt by Kelly Long, this was a good series-dont see another one but sure hope she takes the story further with another book, this is also a good author that I like to read...

[Rachel]

Right now I'm reading Chasing Mona Lisa: A Novel by Tricia Goyer and listening to Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen on audiobook.

[Jessica]

I just finished "Plain Paradise" by Beth Wiseman. I really enjoyed the book. I love this series and I feel like I know the people in these books. I'm really sad to be starting the 5th book in the series.

Did you know that she continues these characters in the Land of Canaan series? You won't miss them too much! :)

[Lorie]

I'm starting Hannah's Journey then I need to finish Love Finds You in Liberty, Indiana.

I sort of figured that towards the end of this book when they talked about Cannan. I'm excited to read the two books (I'm hoping there is more coming) in that series.

Just finished Something Old last night. Looking forward to the next in the series...

[Sarah]

Something Old is a new favorite of mine! It was very well written. When is the next one due out, does anybody know?

[Camille]

I am reading Constitutional Law by Erwin Chemerinsky. Woot, school is back in session!

[Paula-O]

I just finished Kelly Long's Patchwork of Heaven books(2) really liked them and hope she will write more about these characters.

[Carolyn E]

To Camille: I applaud your efforts. (My son is also in law school--his last semester.) However, I don't think I will add Constitutional Law by Erwin Chemerinsky to my "to be read" list.

[Camille]

It's my last semester too Carolyn. hahahaha. It's not a bad read, it's just slow and time consuming, but important stuff.

I finished Something Old last night and started Something New this morning. I had gotten it through NetGalley. It's still available if you're a blogger. Both Amazon & Christian Book Distributors show it due out on 2/1 -- not too long to wait.

[Rachel]

I just started our group read, Hannah's Journey by Anna Schmidt, and I'm really enjoying it! The perfect book to read to relax with the evening after my final exam :)

[Carolyn E]

It's been a while since I have read Hannah's Journey, but I think I really enjoyed it. I think I will try to read it again. Since my memory isn't so good any more, I find that I can re-read books, and it's almost like reading them for the first time. Although I do seem to be able to remember the story better after the second reading.

[Rachel]

I've just started A Life of Joy by Amy Clipston and I'm really enjoying it. It's great catching up with Lindsay and Jessica and seeing where their lives are at now.

[Tia]

I am reading Friendship Bread by Darien Gee. I am also reading The Bishop by Steven James.

[Maureen]

Just finished Hearts That Survive: A Novel of the Titanic. Excellent!

[Diane U]

I am reading The Journey Home by Michael Baron for my neighborhood book club.

[Jocelyn]

...never knew there was a 2nd book to The Notebook...

[Sarah]

I love the entire series!!!

[Maureen]

Just picked up Amelia's Journey!

[Rachel]

I finished A Life of Joy by Amy Clipston today on the bus to visit my parents! Loved this book, but really want to read the next book now - and it's not out until June! I'm now on to The Wings of Morning by Murray Pura, having an Amish fix right now since exams are over :) This one's a historical novel so I'm intrigued to see how it turns out.

[Camille]

I am currently reading Conflict of Laws: Cases and Materials. Thrilling, I know! But school is going to eat almost all my reading time this semester, so I had to change my reading goal to 50 for the year. :(

[Shaz]

I have just finished reading Sharpshooter in Petticoats by Mary Connealy. This is book 3 in the Sophie's Daughters series. When I started reading the Sophie's Daughters series I didn't realise that there were two trilogies before this one and so this one being book 9 completes the entire story lines and characters that have appeared in other books. Must see if I can find the other book trilogies now.

Just deciding what to read next.

[Barbara]

Started Sonoma Rose by Jennifer Chiaverini. I have really enjoyed this series -- this is number 19.

[Carolyn E]

To Barbara Ann: I have just started reading this series by Jennifer Chiaverini and am really enjoying it. I hope to read all 19 books eventually, but it will take me a while. So far, I think I have read 5.

[Barbara]

I was totally hooked after the 2nd book. I like how Jennifer bounces between time periods and family members from one book to the next. I've never been one for history but I really enjoyed The Union Quilters: An Elm Creek Quilts Novel. I think the enjoyment for me came from knowing were many of the scenes in the book take place.

[Shaz]

I have just finished reading Matchmaker, Matchmaker... by Anna Schmidt. After reading Hannah's Journey was interesting to read another book by Anna.

About to start reading To Win Her Heart by Karen Witemeyer.

[Rebecca]

Reading A Plain and Fancy Christmas. Finished Love Finds You In Liberty, Indiana.

[Rachel]

I'm reading The Wings of Morning by Murray Pura and I'm LOVING it! I was sceptical of the premise and the blend of historical and Amish fiction but I'm 3/4 of the way through this book and finding it very hard to put it down!

[Tia]

I am finishing up Friendship Bread

[Carolyn E]

I have just finished reading The Keeper by Suzanne Woods Fisher. This is the first book in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series. I enjoyed it, although I wasn't too crazy about the ending. It was a little too pat. It could have ended quite happily without the incident with Menno. But I loved Fern Graber. She is a delightful character; a wonderful contrast to the other characters in the story. I would like to hear more about her. Still, it is a good story, and I am looking forward to the future books in this series.

[Jessica]

Just finished reading Plain Proposal by Beth Wiseman. I've loved every bit of this series! I can't wait to read more by Beth Wiseman.

[Camille]

I am in the midst of The Merchant's Daughter. I had a nice bubble bath earlier today and read the book for a while as I relaxed in the tub. Bliss! :)

[Janet]

Just finished

and started

I love reading in the bath! Bliss :) I read some of An Accidental Woman by Barbara Delinsky in the bath earlier today. She's one of my favourite non-Christian authors.

[Diane U]

I'm reading Paradise Valley by W. Dale Cramer.

[Camille]

Great book Diane!!!

[Gail]

Just finished reading "Gabby" a book about Gabrielle Giffords written by her and her husband! Not an Amish book but a very good book anyway!

[Diane U]

Camille wrote: "Great book Diane!!!"

I was approved by Bethany House to review the second book in this series so I am being proactive and reading the first one!
