Stacking the Shelves #153, Sunday Post #150, Sunday Salon #144

Hey my bookish friends! How was your week? We got more snow, which might be the new normal for a while, LOL! We have had snow on the ground since January 1. We are experiencing our first true Ohio winter since moving here a little over two years ago. I have another decent size book haul this week. My plan for this weekend is to work on a quilt, read, blog, play games with my family, to to Church, read some more, blog more, LOL. Nothing too exciting or stressful.

A is for Amish

Title: A is for Amish

Series: Amish ABCs

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Publisher: Kensington Publishing

Genre: Christian Fiction, Amish, 

Source: Library

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.
