    That's part of the Elm Creek Quilt series. All are good. They can be read in series or as stand alone books.

    I've read all Jennifer Chiaverini's books....love love love them. Did not know she has a new one coming out. Thanks so much for sharing. Will definitely watch for it!Also like Debbie MacComber's books very much.

    Then there are always my favorite mystery writers..James Patterson & Patricia Cornwell.

    This is a good question for like minded artists. I like books by Nickolas Sparks , Sandra Kring, and J.J.R Tolkien. I couldn't put 'Whistling in the dark" down. I don't remember the author and I've already given the book to my dd in Fargo ND :XD: I've written your titles down for further reading, Thanks.

    Another that my daughter says, you gotta read,' Saving Max' by Antoinette Van Heugton. Just wish our library would keep up with this list too. Have to wait till it's on the shelf before I can get it.

    I love historical inspirational books. Right now I am reading Jane Kirkpatricks"A clearing in the wild, A tendering in the storm and A mending at the edge" Its amazing what these men and women had to endure going out west. They did a lot of quilting to from worn out cloth.
    Lauraine Snelling is one of my all time favorites. Love her series about North Dakota.

    Love J. A. Jance. Another good author is Dana Stabenow based in Alaska.
