Books, Books and more Books

Went to Wal Mart today and purchased two new Amish books.  This is on top of the 15 Amish books that I purchased the other night at Barnes and Noble.  I just can't help myself, I love to read.  I've already finished 3 of the books that I bought the other night.

I've been trying to write a review of each book after I finish reading.  I hope I'm doing a good job of it.  I only have one follower so far but hopefully I'll get more.  I'm trying.

A Time to Heal

I just finished reading A Time to Heal by Barbara Cameron.   It was a wonderful book.  It's the second in her Quilts of Lancaster County series.  I haven't read the first book yet, but I didn't need to read it to understand this book.

A Time to Heal is a very emotional book, in my opinion.  One of the main characters has Post Traumatic Stress Dissorder.  Reading about his flash back and all that he had been thru was very enlightening for me.

This book, to me, was about family and trusting in God.  I have questioned God in my life but it gave an insight to how to deal with what's happening and to trust that He will take care of things in His way and not mine.  I can't wait to read the first book and the remaining books in the series.  I highly recommend this book.

Falling To Pieces. Part 2

Yesterday I had received a book that I had won in a contest.  I was so excited to start reading it as I had never read anything by the author, and I had heard it was a good book.  If you like to read about the Amish and like a mystery, then I would highly recommend this book.  It is Falling to Pieces, the first in the Shipshewana Amish Mystery Series by Vannetta Chapman.

It was a combination of Amish and English with a mystery incorporated in.  It made me laugh, think, wonder and it even made me cry.  From the very first page I was hooked.  I didn't want to put it down.

When I read a book, if I can't picture myself right there, then I don't consider the book all that good.  With Falling to Pieces, from the very first page, I was there,  I was in the garden with Daisy.  I was riding in an Amish buggy.  The more I read, the more I could feel myself being there through it all.  This book is about friendship, family, courage, helping others and faith.  I am so looking forward to reading more books by Vannetta Chapman.

I just received a copy of Falling to Pieces by Vannetta Chapman.  I had entered a contest and my name was drawn.  I am so looking forward to reading this book as I love anything Amish and this is an Amish mystery book.
