My Review:

I always have a hard time putting down C. C. Warrens books, and this one was no different! While Holly Jolly Christmas could be read as a stand-alone Christmas novella, I would not read it without first reading the Holly series.

Sunday Spotlight #8-Hosanna in Excelsis

Happy Sunday, friends! A few weeks ago I started doing a "Sunday Spotlight" where I highlight a book/author that deserves more love!  I take a book that I have read and enjoyed that has less than 100
reviews on Goodreads and give it some extra love by drawing it to your attention! Maybe someday I will host a link party (if I can figure it out) to make it easier to participate. 

Title: Hosanna in Excelsis

Author: David & Barbara Leeman

Publisher: Moody

An Amish Baby for Christmas

 Title: An Amish Baby for Christmas

Series: Indiana Amish Brides #8

Author: Vannetta Chapman

Publisher: Love Inspired

Genre: Amish, Christmas, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

While An Amish Baby for Christmas is the eighth book in the Indiana Amish Brides series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. I have not read any of the other books in the series and I do not feel like I missed anything.

A Christmas Courtship

 Title: A Christmas Courtship

Series: The Berlin Bookmobile Series #3

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Publisher: Gallery Books

Genre: Christian Fiction, Amish, Christmas, Christian Romance

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

While this is the third book in the series it can be read as a standalone novel. However, the Bookmobile and the librarian, Sarah Anne, are in all the books, and it would be best to start at the beginning and see how Sarah Anne started with the Bookmobile, how her life has changed from the beginning, and how she changes the lives of those who come into her bookmobile.

An Unexpected Amish Christmas

Title: An Unexpected Amish Christmas

Series: Surprised by Love #3

Author: Rachel J. Good

Publisher: Kensington Publishers

Genre: Amish, Christmas, Christian Fiction, Romance

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

While An Unexpected Amish Christmas is the third book in the Surprised by Love series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. However, several characters make appearances in all the books, so for a broader understanding of them, I would read the series in order.

Christmas Grace

 Title: Christmas Grace

Author: Mindy Steele

Publisher: Entangled Publishing

Genre: Christmas, Amish, Christian Fiction, Christian Romance

Source: Net Galley

My Review:

 Christmas Grace is the first book that I have read by Mindy Steele. The two things that drew me to this book were its Christmas theme and the fact that it is about Amish people.  I also loved the cover, but that was minor compared to the other two! I would read more by this author.
