An Amish Heirloom by Amy Clipston, Beth Wiseman, Kathleen Fuller and Kelly Irvin

I really enjoyed this set of four novellas by these well known Amish authors.  This combination was a hit for me and I especially enjoyed the one written by Beth Wiseman, which covered two periods of time, then and now and the cedar chest that held some secrets of the past.  Loved it!

I enjoyed the other stories as well and highly recommend this if you enjoy Amish fiction.

I received an ebook copy of this book from NetGalley.  All thoughts are my own.

The Hawaiian Discovery by Wanda E. Brunstetter and Jean Brunstetter

This was book 2 of the series by these authors.  I have read book one, and felt that it would be an important to read book 1 first to better understand how two Amish girls, Mandy and Ellen make a connection to Hawaii.

So that being said, I have really enjoyed most of the books by these authors but this one was not my favorite one.

I did enjoy the easy reading style and understandability, yet some events seemed a little too unrealistic.  I had no trouble finishing the book and it was a totally different Amish theme then I would normally expect, which brought a definite interest on my part especially since my husband was from Hawaii.  I think you will enjoy the book.  But just not her best, I don't think.

No Less Days By Amanda G. Stevens

This book drew me right in.  The concept of the man staying at a young age while in the world around him everyone, aged and eventually dies is captivating.  The beginning was really good, and grabs you right from the first few pages.

It was definitely a different book than I have read in the past. The adventures keep you reading to find out how each situation resolves.

You will want to read this one!

Mormonville by Jeff Call

This was a fun book about a New York reported assigned to find out all the low-down on those Mormons.  This was a book that was very humorous and entertaining.  I enjoyed it a lot!  I let me mother read it and she said it made her laugh and she was glad to have read it. 

The Backcountry Brides Collection by Multiple Authors

This book had several new authors for me.  It was a nice addition to Barbour books Brides Collections.  It was so fun to read about these 18th Century women, brave and courageous in so many ways!  I doubt I would have been!

The time periods span from 1754-1792.  This for sure would be a time of great discovery in our country in a dangerous time where life was much more difficult in many ways.  These were sweet, clean stories and full of adventure.  Never a dull moment!

I hope that you will take time to read these great stories!

The Telling by Beverly Lewis

This book hit home for me.  I recently helped a friend find her biological parents and also my own mother find her father after a long, long search!  So I loved this book.

Lettie disappears and her family doesn't know why.  She is searching for her first born given away in adoption.

Loved this book so much!

Great Cape O' Colors (Capa de colores) by Karl Beckstrand and John Collado

This children's book by Karl Beckstrand and John Collado is about a magic cape.  With different "super heros" and multicultural, this a learning book for children, for sure!

Teaches imagination, colors and Spanish and English language through pictures and words.

I think this is a good way to motivate children for reading and learning about new languages.  Your child will enjoy this.
