Not my usual read...I prefer non-fiction, but do read more than my fair share of fantasy and crime.

I have read one, but feel it's better to read them in series, I have got one second hand, so will look for more and when I have the lot, then will start at the beginning. I think I like them purely from the "quilting" point of view, rather than anything else....strange, probably, but that's the plan!

Don't say anything more! I am only on book 2 and did not know she was pregnant!I belong to Paperback book swap so I wait till they are available thur there.If you want to save money for more fabric,LQL, you should check out paper back,esp. if you read alot.

They were enjoyable to read. A stories about quilters.
But not as enjoyable as a good novel. :-D

Loved all the books in the series, very addicting.

I got the first one at the library. Loved it so much that I've purchased all of them and have recommended them to others. They do make more sense if you read them in order as the plot lines tend to continue through quite a few of the books.

I have read the first three and they were really good! I can't wait to get the rest of them.

I read all of them up to the last 2 (I think). They became very much repeats after awhile...she would go back to previous book ALOT and repeat history...got tired of them after awhile

BTW, sold all of them here on the board...

I have read almost all of them and share them with others. Since the author is from Wisconsin and she writes about the area in Pennsylvania where my husband came from, I find them especially touching and I feel right at home with them.

I liked them a lot eventhough some more then others. Very easy read. I did buy some other quilt novels and did not like them nearly as much.

For the historical aspects..ever read any Diana Gabaldon?[/quote

I've read the first and second book from that series they were pretty good.
