I have read some of the Elm Creek books, The Lost Quilt, the Hawaian quilt. Those two had a lot of history that I enjoyed. I am now reading Earlene Fowler books..She is a fellow Californian and most of her story mention cities or areas that I am familiar with. Other books series that I started was a knitting books by Maggie Sefton..they were fun. I am an avid fan of Nicolas Sparks and have read/share all his books with family and also most of Jenette Oke books. I don't read as much as I use to..am trying to work on my stash.
