My Review:

What I love about Shelley Shepard Gray's books is that you are immediately drawn into the story. There are not long descriptions or introductions. A is for Amish is about four siblings thinking about becoming Amish.

A Broken Kind of Beautiful

Title: A Broken Kind of Beautiful

Author: Katie Ganshert

Publisher: Waterbrook Press

My Review:

A Broken Kind of Beautiful might be the book's title , but I think it can best be summed up as a messy kind of beautiful. The story is rich and deep, the characters are flawed but real, and the plotline flows seamlessly.

Title: Mistletoe Season

Authors: Sheila Roberts, Kathleen Fuller, Pepper Basham

Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Genre: Christian Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Chrsitmas

Source: Library

My Review:

Mistletoe Season has three Christmas novellas in it. I had not read anything by Sheila Roberts before, but I have loved several books by Kathleen Fuller and Pepper Basham. I went into it thinking I could skip a story if I didn't enjoy it, but it wasn't necessary because all three stories are wonderful.
