They already listed the great Amish authors! If you want books that are laugh out loads Janet Evanovich!!! In fact her 1st movie is out in Jan! She just put out #18!
If you don't mind used books go to www. Paperbackswap.com. You list your old books. When someone requests one you send it to them. Received a credit to buy a book. When you sign up you get so many free credits! They have hardbacks, paperbacks and books on tape.
Enjoy. Reading! I LOVE it!!

Beverly Lewis books on Amish Life are wonderful. I believe you would enjoy these.
If you enjoy mysteries try Susan Witting Albert's - China Bayles series. All about herbs and you can learn a lot along the way.
Happy Reading!!!

I love all amish books. Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter are the ones I have read the most. I am reading The Christmas Quilt by Patricia Davids now and it is very good. I have never read her's before. I got it on my Kindle and it was real cheap. I am going to check and she if she has written more.

I can't remember the names right off hand but I know that at Barnes and Noble they sell alot of them. You can tell the ones that I'm talking of right away because they have pictures of amish women on the front. I've read several and they are good. I'll try and check later on today on my break and see if I can get an author for you. I love reading. My Nook is my best friend (almost)

Go to amazon.com and type in the words amish fiction. You will find all kinds of suggestions. Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter both have some series. I am from Lancaster County, Pa. and although they are fiction, there is so much I can relate to. I can speak Pennsylvania Dutch a bit and you will find some of the words in these books I also lived for about 8 years in Webster County, Missouri and there is an Amish community there as well. I started by reading those series and got hooked. I had friends that are Amish and these books portray their lifestyle accurately. Have fun. Jackie C.

I loved that book! There, again, I cannot sit and read. I have to be doing something with my hands, so I listened to it. Actually, I have the book in audio form. I have listened to it twice now. Also, I have not listened to them yet, but there are three books I have that I will be listening to - by Spencer Quinn - narrated by Jim Frangione "Dog On It" (say it fast - there's humor in the titles), "Thereby Hangs a Tail" and "To Fetch a Thief". These were recommended to me by the same person that recommended "The Art of Racing in the Rain." Loved that story!!!!! Edie
