I was excited to get to read the next book in this series after having the chance to read the first.  The cover was again set in beautiful Pinecraft but it showed a different character so I was excited to find out who this book was going to follow.  I love all of the books that I have read by Shelley Shepard Gray especially the first book in the Season in Pinecraft series.   Return to Pinecraft, Florida, for a Sweet Amish Romance Sheltered yet adventurous, Betsy Detweiler is on a mission to get out of Kentucky and experience new things in life.

 I was excited to read another great series by Shelley Shepard Gray.  I thought it looked like a great book just from the lovely cover and I love everything that I have read by this author.

 I thought that this cover and title sounded very intriguing even before I got to the summary of the book.  I have also read a bunch of different books by this author and I have enjoyed them all.  I can't relate to having an empty nest yet but but I totally think that being overwhelmed by the move and construction is something that I can totally relate to. I tend to prefer the books when I can find something I sympathize with or relate to in the main character. Mallory Farrell was starting over in a new life with what her grandmother left her in her will.       Wh ..read more

 I was excited to check out this new series by Suzanne Woods Fisher. I thought from the picture on the cover that it would be a light summer read so I was surprised by the beginning of the book.  It was about the break up of a relationship that was headed towards marriage and about getting over the death of a loved one.  This was a lot deeper then an ice cream cone on the cover suggested. I think that the lighter ice cream cover suggests a lot more because of the name of the Cape Cod Creamery. Dawn Dixon can hardly believe she's on a groomless honeymoon on beautiful Cape Cod ..read more

I picked this book because I love the author and have loved everything that she has written.  When I finally started it, I realized that it wasn't exactly what I expected.  Although I know that Suzanne Woods Fisher does a lot of different books, this book was about birds.  I wasn't very interested in reading about birds but I knew that if I hung it, it would be a great story with great characters. Season on the Wind by Suzanne Woods Fisher is a stand alone book about an Amish town and the people who live there. Ben Zook had only two loves in his life: books and birds. In a stro ..read more

I like being surprised by a book so I took a quick look at the summary to see if it would be something that sounded interesting and promptly forgot what it was about. I was excited to pick up the book and find out if it lived up the cover. After a time of heartache and loss, Simone Winthrop discovers a tantalizing ..read more

 I knew the author sounded familiar when I saw this interesting cover and was immediately drawn in to find out what the book was about.  I didn't look her up until after completing the book that I have previously read The Red Door Inn and A Dazzle of Diamonds both written by her.  Beyond the Tides (Prince Edward Island Shores) by Liz Johnson is the first book in a new series about Prince Edward Island and growing up with the island life.
