Another Great Read

This week has flown by with errands, check ups and for me a dental cleaning and check; so Monday I ran to library knowing I might have some space to fill and got this book.  I have read several of Marta Perry's Pleasant Valley books and this was another great one in the series.  In fact, between late Monday and mid day yesterday, I finished it.  She has a new book coming out in May and I am looking forward to it.  If you haven't read any of her books, check her out for yourself and you won't be disappointed. 
As I said, I'm off to the dentist this morning(ugh) and then more errands; tomorrow I have my study, then a luncheon after it, followed by babysitting one set of grands later.  On Friday, our girls are all getting together for a girlie tea; something we try to do every couple of months.  Since the beginning of the year, I have felt like there are more and more errands to run.  Of course if you throw in a trip to see family and friends in our old home state, the months are flying by.  I am so thankful that I am in a position to do these things, especially spending time with our daughters and their children, our beloved grands, and also family and friends.
Remember to savor every minute.  Blessings, Noreen

From My Bookshelf

When Thanksgiving rolled around, I put my quilt in progress up on my design wall until after the holidays; I knew I probably wouldn't get to it and having it out of site relieved me of the pressure to work on it.  Needless to say, I began reading-mostly library books over the holidays; I love to read and this year have utilized our library more than in past years.  My number one favorite story line is Amish and our library didn't disappoint me.  Here are three of those that I read in the last couple of weeks.

I'm still finishing The Wounded Heart but am enjoying this story; I haven't read this author's books before but will look for more of hers.  A good read.
I have read other books in this series and while I found it easy reading, I don't think it held my interest as well as Shelley's other books have-but I will read more of her in the future.
Marta Perry is becoming one of my favorite Amish story tellers; I loved this book-probably more than the other two.  This is a must read for anyone who loves Amish stories.  I haven't read all her previous books in the series, mainly because our library didn't have them in; today when I return all these books I'll look to see if they have more of her books.
Having said that I already have two more books here at home to read; one I won from a blog and I will be highlighting it soon.
It is so cold and windy here today; we haven't gotten any snow and probably won't, but it is a good day to stay in and quilt or read-both are on my list for today.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
