    I am SO enjoying the Elm Creek Quilt novels by Jennifer Chiaverini! They are interesting, unique, and just a nice clean read. If you read the first one "The Quilter's Apprentice", I guarantee you'll want to read all the rest!

    I am on Union Quilters right now... I have read the whole series from beginning to end... they are very good. I love reading them. The new one "The Wedding Quilt" comes out in November. My favorites of the series are The Runaway Quilt and The Lost Quilter. Enjoy them!!!

    I have read them all except The Aloha Quilt. I don't know why I could not get into that one. I returned it to the library and called my GF in Bloomington, Indiana and had her tell me about the whole story in which I was thrilled.
    I'm ready to read The Union Quilters now before the newest arrives in bookstores.
    Nice clean stories.

    You know, I just can't get into those books. I like the characters and even the story lines are OK but the endings are so anticlimactic. I am always underwhelmed.

    Thank you for saying. I was beginning to think I was the only one that felt this way. The first one was very enjoyable, but by the third one, they became too...predictable...they reminded me of what happened to John Grisham books. I've started the others, but just can't get into them.

    They are light reading. Kinda like popcorn for the mind.
