I just finished Courting Ruth as well, such a great book! Like you, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

[Lorie]

Started The Nanny's Homecoming (Steeple Hill Love Inspiredlast night and I'm almost finished with it today, I am really enjoying it.

[Lorie]

Finished The Nanny's Homecoming (Steeple Hill Love Inspired. I really liked it, loved the characters and storyline, and will read the next ones in the series when they come out. This is a July Love Inspired. Moving onto another Love Inspired book Courting Ruth.

Have any of you read any of Linda Castillo's books? I have just finished reading "Breaking Silence," by Linda Castillo, and I must say it was certainly exciting. It was not exactly what I have come to expect from Amish fiction, but I could not put it down. It really points up the fact that even the Amish are not immune to serious problems in some of their relationships. I am looking forward to reading Castillo's other books.

[Adina]

I just finished this one--and now plan to get the other books in the series. Some of it was pretty graphic, but the way Castillo portrayed Kate Burkholder, a formerly Amish woman trying to do her best as the sheriff, was just terrific.

[Hannah]

I'm reading The Bridge of Peace by Cindy Woodsmall. It is good so far!

[Susan]

I am finally reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. I am probably the only person on GoodReads who hasn't read it! 60 pages in and I'm wondering what took me soooo long to pick this book up!!!

I am listening to it as an audiobook, and it is wonderful! I'm about 50% done with it, and I don't want it to end!

[Kristy]

Too many books right now. And I plan to start Kelly's Chance today too. I want to finish Lilly's Wedding Quilt by Kelly Long and also finish Remember by Karen Kingsbury. But first I want to read some Bible. :)

I'm reading The Thorn by Beverly Lewis, and I'm enjoying it.

[Camille]

Oh Kathy, I loved The Thorn!

I have just received "Growing Up Amish," by Ira Wagler, and "Fall from Pride," by Karen Harper. Normally, I only read one book at a time, but in this case--since I couldn't decide which to read first, I am trying to read both of them.

"Fall from Pride" is the first book in a new trilogy from Karen Harper--her "Home Valley Amish" series. The second book, "Return to Grace," is projected for March, 2012, and the third book, "Finding Mercy," is projected for November, 2012.

"Growing up Amish" is an autobiographical memoir by Ira Wagler. So far, I have read about 50 pages of this book and about 100 pages of "Fall from Pride," and I am enjoying both books. Certainly, Wagler's book gives one a slightly difference perspective on what it is like "Growing Up Amish."

[Roxanna]

I recently finished Harvest of Grace by Cindy Woodsmall. <3

[Jenny]

I am new to this group but I love Amish fiction. I am reading "blood of the prodigal" by P.L. Gaus. I noticed that a few other have mentioned his books but I like them (even though I am reading them out of order)

[Carolyn E]

Jenny: I, too, enjoy P. L. Gaus's books, although I haven't read all of them. I have read "Blood of the Prodigal" and enjoyed it.

Welcome to our group!!

I'm reading "The Protector" by Shelley Shepard Gray. I'm about 60 pages into it. I hope to finish it this weekend.

[Barbara]

I just finished Beside Still Waters by Tricia Goyer. Can't wait to make Betty's Salad.

In the daylight I'll update my blog, and post my review on Goodreads, NetGalley, and either Amazon or Christian Book Distributor.

[Kristy]

I finished reading Return by Karen Kingsbury and Gary Smalley

I want to read this author, too. He? she? was recommended by someone who also suggested Linda Castillo. Are they suspense?

I am reading The Promise of an Angel by Ruth Reid. I started it while sitting court side as members of our church played volleyball in the 94 degree outdoors. I'd have been there with them if it weren't for a sinus headache.

I like Judith and Andrew. Levi seems to be a cad. Can't wait to see if my opinions change.

This book had my emotions all over the place, I got so connected with Judith. Totally wanted to slap Levi though :P

Ha! Can't wait to read more. I think I'm PMSing, I've had the headache and now the emotions are all over the place too. This book was made for me this week!

[Rachel]

PMS and emotional books are NOT good for me, I got so emotional at the start of Abigail's New Hope.

[Carolyn E]

I loved "Abigail's New Hope"--and the cover on the book is wonderful. The expression on her face is priceless!!

I am gonna try to finish all the books I am reading and then read Miriam's Heart. I can't wait for Anna Gift.

[Camille]

I am reading A Place of Peace. Anyone else read it?

[Kristy]

Camille wrote: "I am reading A Place of Peace. Anyone else read it?"
Not yet But I probably will next month.

[Diane U]

I just finished Beside Still Waters by Tricia Goyer and I am now reading Treasuring Emma by Kathleen Fuller for Book Sneeze.

[Rachel]

Camille wrote: "I am reading A Place of Peace. Anyone else read it?"

I read it last month. I really enjoyed it, but not as much as the first 2 in the series. I felt that it got a bit repetitive in places, and that all of the fuss could have been fixed if the main characters had just spoken to each other! A big pet peeve of mine, couples not communicating, it seemed a bit immature in this situation.

I started it but couldn't get into it, after reading this I will give it another go.

[Rachel]

Janet wrote: "Gail wrote: "I am reading The Amish Midwife by Mindy Starns Clark, about half done!"

I just read this one, loved it! I'm now reading The Amish Nanny by Mindy Starns Clark on my Kindle, hope it'll be just as good. I'm also reading a "real" book, The Tapestry of Love by Rosy Thornton.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for choosing my book to read.
Rachel,
I laughed when you said you wanted to slap Levi. I did too, the entire time I was writing his character.

[Kristy]

I am going to try and finish Lilly's Wedding Quilt this week.

[Barbara]

I'm about 35% of the way through and I really want to slap Levi. So glad that you even called him a cad.

[Diane U]

Ooooh, I want to slap Levi too! I think I need to read that book next then! LOL!
