I haven't written a post about books in awhile so here goes for all of you expecting something along those lines.
Do you ever come across an author that you really enjoy reading and end up just getting books by that author? Well, that's what has happened to me of late. I read "Prayers for Sale" by Sandra Dallas and really enjoyed it. So instead of consulting my little book of recommendations the last two times I was at the library, I went to the Ds and looked for more books by Sandra Dallas. In the last two trips there I've come home with "The Chili Queen", "Whiter Than Snow", and "Alice's Tulips" all of which I've read and enjoyed. I'm now starting on "Tallgrass".
These are all historical fiction which I really like. They give you a window into what life was like in the past particularly parts of the West like Colorado during the time of the Civil War or afterward. The main characters are women, so easy to identify with and though I'm not a quilter each of the characters is a quilter and ends up connecting to other women with quilting.
If you have to decide on one of these to read look for "Prayers for Sale". It has been my favorite so far.
I enjoy your book posts. I finished reading "The Thirteenth Tale" and loved it so much I decided to see what else the author wrote. (Something I never, ever do!) Well, that was her only book! lol I'm still reading some of the other books you've recommended, but as soon as I'm through with them, I'll check out "Prayers for Sale".
