I just finished reading Plain Pursuit by Beth Wiseman. What a sweet story of love and forgiveness! I highly recommend it!

[Barbara]

I just finished reading Threads of Grace by Kelly Long! I loved going back to visit in Pine Creek. I would love it if there were another in the series... maybe about Violet?

[Rachel]

I've read and enjoyed all three books that the last four people mentioned! Barbara, I'm hoping there will be a story about Violet as well. Her storyline felt a little sidelined in Threads of Grace.

I just started reading Annie's Truth by Beth Shriver, our March group read.

I started reading "The Keeper" by Suzanne Woods Fisher yesterday when we lost power in a big snow storm we got. I'm finding it harder and harder to get time to read. I've been away from Goodreads for a long time and hope I can get back to it. The kids, daycare, and knitting along with every day life are keeping me busy busy.

That is a great book and a great series! I hope you find the time to enjoy it like I did!

Laura,

I LOVE that series! I cried through the whole thing. Although heart wrenching, I'd have to say it's my favorite Amish Series. Cindy Woodsmall is an excellent author and I've read all of her fiction books. So far, I have not been disappointed.

Let us know what you think. Happy reading!

Brittany, this one sounds really interesting! I don't read a lot of supernatural/fantasy novels, but it's always intriguing to see a new genre being melded with Amish fiction.

I've just started reading Whispers of a New Dawn by Murray Pura.

Good to know this is a good one. I have it on my kindle, just need to get to it. I'm currently reading Pastures of Faith, the 3rd book in Sarah Price's Amish of Lancaster series, and enjoying it very much.

[Brittany]

I am reading Home Run by Travis Thrasher and it is really good so far. I am about 1/3 of the way through it.

[Lillian]

I am currently reading "The Amish Way" by Donald Kraybill. My college professor bought my "Speaking Amish" book and gave one to Mr. Kraybill, and Mr. Kraybill gave me a free copy of his book in return!
"The Amish Way" is not fiction, of course :-). I am just starting the book, but I am confident that it will be a very insightful view into the Amish culture. Mr. Kraybill has studied the Amish for years and probably knows more about them then the Amish do themselves :-).

This is very interesting! I majored in anthropology in college and I did a term paper over Amish culture for my ethnology class, using one of Mr. Kraybill's books as a source. (From Plows to Profits). He's a great researcher and I definitely look up to him.

[Natalie]

I read The Silence of Winter, book #2 in Wanda Brunstetter's serialization. Has anyone read this? If so, what do you think of the serial format?

I am reading Pennsylvania Patchwork by Kate Lloyd. Kate wrote Leaving Lancaster about a young woman from Seattle who discovers that her extended family lives in Lancaster County and is Amish. Her mom's kept this from her all of her life. Holly and her mom travel to meet her grandmother and the rest of the family. An interesting mother/daughter/grandmother relationship story with well developed characters. Pennsylvania Patchwork begins where Leaving Lancaster ended and releases June 1. I'm fortunate to be marketing manager for this title so I have an early copy. I will be posting a giveaway for the book in the near future.

Carole: I am not too crazy about the serial format, especially since my memory is not very good any more. I have already decided to wait until all installments have been released, and then I will read them all at one time.

[Natalie]

I just read two Amish romances by a new author, Melanie Schmidt, Loving and Letting Go and Forgiving and Learning to Love on my Kindle. These are really good and are the first two in her series A Perfect Love. The bad news is since it just released two days ago, it's only on Kindle.

[Natalie]

I just bought The Amish Bride, The Tempted Soul, and The Winnowing Season at the book store yesterday. I will update as I go.
