The Christmas Quilt - Quilts of Love - by Vannetta Chapman
About the book: Annie's life is deliciously full as the Christmas season approaches. She helps her husband, Samuel, attend to the community's minor medical needs. She occasionally assists Belinda, the local midwife, and most days, she finds herself delivering the buggy to her brother Adam. Annie's sister-in-law Leah is due to deliver their first child before Christmas morning, and Annie is determined to finish a crib quilt before the boppli arrives. With six weeks to go, she should have no problem . . . but God may have a different plan. Leah is rushed to the English hospital when the infant arrives early, and Annie discovers the Christmas quilt may hold a far greater significance than she ever imagined.My review: I enjoyed this cozy story about two Amish women who go through a difficult season together, but come through stronger in their faith because of it. Hard times cause us to really focus on what matters and I liked how Leah and her husband realized how they had drifted apart. Even though this seems to be a stand-alone, it felt like there might have been a previous story about Annie and when she met her husband. However, each of the Quilts of Love books are meant to be read on their own. I thought it was fascinating how Leah and Annie told stories as they finished the quilt and the meaning they held. I love the sense of community I've seen in most Amish stories and that is very evident in this one. Be sure to add this story to your Christmas line-up!

Review of A MARRIAGE IN MIDDLEBURY | ENTER Anita Higman’s Double Kindle Fire Giveaway & RSVP for “Tea for Two” 12/12 Facebook Party!
About the book:
One decision changed both their lives . . . but will love win in the
end? Charlotte Rose Hill enjoys a comfortable life serving up country
delicacies, uniquely blended teas, and matchmaking advice for her
quirky, devoted customers. The only thing lacking is someone to share it
with. At eighteen she denied Sam Wilder's marriage proposal after his
family convinced her to walk away from their relationship. They both
moved on . . . or so she thought. When Sam walks back into her life more
than a decade later, Charlotte is surprised that her heart still
quickens. But is it because of his presence? Or because of the presence
of Sam's new fiancée? A second chance at love doesn't happen often, but
their past may keep them apart. Is it too late for Sam and Charlotte?
My review: I really enjoyed this charming romance! I loved Charlotte and her cozy tea room and all of the quirky characters who visited. Some of them were very amusing, especially her friend Meredith. I loved the multiple romantic story lines and how different characters interacted with each other, from the little boy who longs for a family to Sam's cook, who tells it like it is. I even liked Sam's fiancee when I was all set not to. I really want to visit this place myself and try the special tea blends and especially the devil's food cake! I loved the faith elements in the story, too, from Charlotte talking to God like a best friend to the way almost everyone's faith was just a part of them. I also really appreciated the humor in the story. I don't think there was anything I didn't like! You should definitely check out this book!

Annie's Christmas Wish - Quilts of Lancaster County 4 - by Barbara Cameron
About the book:
Will New York City lure Annie away from her home...and the possibility of love?Ever since her step-mom brought her a snow globe of the New York City skyline, Annie has wanted to visit the beautiful, big city. Since it’s nearing the time of Annie’s rumschpringe—the time when Amish youth experience English life to make a decision whether to live in that world or become baptized into the Amish faith—the family decides a visit is a good idea. They watch the Macy’s Christmas parade, admire the decorated store windows, skate at the Rockefeller Center rink and— Annie’s favorite—get a glimpse of a writer’s life while visiting the New York Times building. But others aren’t as thrilled with Annie’s lure to the Big Apple. Aaron has long been attracted to Annie and is sure he’s in love. As he watches her engage in big city life, he grows concerned that she won’t want to return to their quieter life. Will Annie follow Aaron back home? Or stay and pursue her dreams? Competing for her attention, Aaron sets out to show Annie that Christmas isn’t about the glitz and glamour, but about family, love, and the birth of Jesus.
My review:
This was an interesting story, mainly because it was interesting to see how an Amish family viewed New York City. I was surprised at some of the things they did, including watching some movies, since the Amish . don't usually do that. I liked catching up with characters I met when I read Barbara's previous series. I wished the romance would have had a little more to it; I got frustrated sometimes with how Aaron would jump to conclusions or didn't seem to listen. This definitely makes me want to visit New York again, especially at Christmas! If you like Amish or Christmas stories, you should check it out!
