Default Armish Novels

I have just discovered reading books. I know I am nearly 49 but I always thought books were boring so I always picked up magazines to read. Someone suggested me reading a book called Plain Perfect by Beth Wiseman. I couldn't put it down. Then I borrowed a book form the library called The storekeepers daughter by Wanda E Brunstetter. Can anyone else suggest anymore books along this line?.
Cheers Jackie.

If you like "quilting-related" novels check out author Arlene Sachitano.

Wanda E. Brunstettar is an excellant writer. She has a lot of good novels out. Most of them are in a series. I go to the library and get the whole series and start with the first and on until I finish them. There is usually 3 or 4 in a series and they are really interesting. I love to read, especially in the winter months when I have to stay in. Check out the local library.

Two authors I've enjoyed for Amish fiction are Beverly Lewis and Vannetta Chapman.

Debbie Macomber has some great stories. It isn't about quilting but if you're a knitter there's a pattern or recipe in every book. They are easy and great reading.

I have read quite a few Amish authors...Eileen Fuller...not sure if I have the first name right. Ann Gebart, Beverly Lewis too.

I got hooked on the Elm Creek Series (Jennifer Chiaverini) first and then moved into the Amish ones. My library had a lot and after I read those I started trading with some locals. When Borders went out of business I bought a bunch at there last sales and now need to fill in some of the series. Always a great way to relax after a few hours of quilting.

One of the best books I have recently read is "The Art of Racing in the Rain" If you are a dog lover, this book is a must. I have read it 2 or 3 times and highly recommend it. Hope you all enjoy it.

Marla Perry does Amish books. She has three that need to be read in the right order.
