What the Bishop Saw – TBR-Pile-Worthy I was so stoked to see a new release from Vannetta Chapman. What the Bishop Saw is such a captivating title! But would the novel measure up? Oh, yes! It’s a page-turner – go ahead and rest up before starting this one because many sleepless nights are ahead! What […]
The Courtship Basket – Recipe for Romance Whenever I get a novel by Amy Clipston, I can be guaranteed some sleepless nights ahead. As soon as I saw the cover of Clipston’s latest release, The Courtship Basket (second in her Amish Heirloom series), I knew I would have some night of insomnia ahead. Clipston delivers […]
Amish Christmas at North Star – Encore! Amish…Christmas…Cindy Woodsmall. Bring.it.on. I’ve read everything Woodsmall has written, so even if a pamphlet was being released this Christmas by her, I’d be reading it. Then, whoa! I receive this jewel called Amish Christmas at North Star and it includes four novellas – one by Woodsmall…then get this: […]
Meek and Mild – Much Less Morose ~ Review by Susan Scott Ferrell After reading Olivia Newport’s Wonderful Lonesome (first in her Amish Turns of Time series), I was left wanting more…and also found it to be rather depressing. I had hoped to read more about the characters in Book Two, but that wasn’t to […]
I am most often found reading something within the Amish genre, except for a few outliers. Deanne Gist is one of those authors who has always captivated me with her storytelling. When my copy of her latest release, Tiffany Girl, arrived I could hardly wait! Over 500 pages, and my daughter figured I would have […]
Wanda Brunstetter has long been considered a front-runner in the Amish fiction genre. Her stories are woven with heart and faith. When I received a copy of her newest release, The Decision (first in her Prairie State Friends series), I was ready to dive into another Brunstetter winner. Unfortunately, I do not feel this novel […]

The book market seems to have become inundated with what some are calling “bonnet books” and every person is now calling him or herself an author. It becomes difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff. Well, Amy Lillard is among the […]
“I’m just saying, you guys were laughing and talking and hobnobbing all coupley-like”. This is what I’m talking about. This is a Melissa-ism. It’s the way she talks. It’s the way she writes. Cute, endearing, smile-provoking Melissa-isms. Each book Melissa writes gets better and better. Her characters continue to become more developed and From the […]

Ever since I read Charlotte Hubbard’s Summer of Secrets (first in her Seasons of the Heart series), I’ve been entranced by her writings. I have become attached to the people of Willow Ridge and was thrilled to be able to return again with Harvest of Blessings. Hold onto your hats, readers, you are in for […]
