Amish Jane Doe

Title: Amish Jane Doe

Series: Inspirational Cold Case Collection

Author: Shelley Shepard Gray

Genre: Christian Fiction, Suspense

Publisher: Love Inspired

Source: Author Provided

My review:

I knew from the title that Amish Jane Doe would have a unique storyline. I have read a TON of Amish fiction, but never one that featured a cold case. This is a series of books under the umbrella of inspirational cold cases. I would love to read more of these novels. I love that while they are a series, they each stand alone.

My review:

Kitty Counts Her Blessings is the second children's book I have read by Kat E. Erikson. This story is written for children between the ages of 4-7, but I think younger children would also enjoy this short story.

Happy 1st Blogiversary (late!)

I can't believe how fast a year has gone...and I missed it 😂 I started this blog on May 1, 2021, because I LOVE books and I love talking about books. I was sharing about what I was reading on my family blog, but honestly, my friends and family care more about other things in my life, and not what I am reading 😀
