Stacking the Shelves #96, Sunday Post #93, Sunday Salon #87

Hey bookish friends! How are you all doing? I had a another busy week, which did not allow for much reading. I was in TN watching my niece last weekend, and headed back to Indiana on Tuesday to take my mom home. I got back to my house around noon on Wednesday. I have a sewing class this afternoon, so I spent part of the morning finalizing that, then we are putting up our Christmas tree this evening. We usually put it up Thanksgiving, but this year we will be in VA. When do you put your tree up? This introvert is completely wiped out. What are your plans for the weekend?

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.

My Review:

This is a great collection of Christmas novellas. I love how Rebecca's  Porch is used in all three stories, even though the novellas are written by three different authors. I appreciate the way that the authors collaborated to bring the stories together.

Series: Surprised by Love #2

My review:

While this is the second book in the series it can easily be read as a stand-alone. There are a few characters who make appearances from the first book, but there is not so much background that you are lost.
