Christmas at the Amish Bakeshop | Shelley Shepard Gray, Loree Lough, Rachel J. Good

I picked this up because of Jenny Colvin. I can‘t remember if she was doing the episode where she was talking about a book on the Hutterites or one where she was talking about romance where she mentioned that there was a lot of Amish romance out there. So when I saw this on display I had to give it a try. It was wonderful and the balm my soul needed while dealing with the usual holiday craziness. 3 stories all loosely tied by a bake shop. I 👇🏼

Reggie had no clue about the Amish other than 1. They do well in zombie apocalypses 2. There is always an episode of a Law and Order or an NCIS where an Amish kid is found dead on their Rumspringa. This book has me almost contemplating going to church. Each story was special and made me reflect on how I handle things in life. A super Christmasy pick!! 5mo
Chrissyreadit i bet my mom would love this. i‘m so glad you shared it. 5mo
Chrissyreadit also I love that it was on Reading Envy. One day I will listen to more episodes. The ones i heard were always so good. But it makes me sad because i‘m too sentimental sometimes. 5mo

Ruthiella That‘s Jenny for you! Getting us all to read outside our comfort zone and find gems. 5mo
Bookzombie Aww, this is so nice! I‘m still pleased and sad when I look up a book on GR and find a Jenny review. 5mo
Centique I love that you love both gory horror and Amish romance! Im going to have to try this for next Christmas. 😍 And i remember Jenny talking about Amish romance too - look how her words are still touching us 😢💙💜 5mo
vivastory @Chrissyreadit It's only recently that I have been able to listen to Reading Envy again & I can't even listen to the final episodes, so I get it 5mo
Reggie @Chrissyreadit she would love it. The physical aspect of the romance in here is so tame. It‘s so heart warming. @vivastory I remember waiting every two weeks for the show to come out. It took me a couple of months to come to terms with the fact there was not gonna be another show. 5mo
Reggie @Librarybelle it was! I felt so good today after finishing it last night. 5mo
Reggie @Ruthiella @Bookzombie @Centique we are all better readers for having known her. I wouldn‘t have picked up Amish romance without her. And now I kinda want to go find an Amish biography or something. 5mo

Predictable, but I absolutely enjoyed this book. With a book like this, I‘m not really expecting depth or complex characters…but it was sweet and maybe a bit spicy for an Amish romance novel (don‘t expect too much though 😂)!

Is it weird that I could care less about the main characters in every book in this series (sans #10 when they have their own love story) because I simply love Anna and Felty, the grandparents, more? Ga, they are just the funniest, sweetest, matchmakers who will stop at nothing to help their kin find love. Even if the way they try tends to always go wrong at some point.

I received this book from Librarything and Revell for a honest review. This is my own opinions. I loved this book more than the first book. I love the characters more in this book. They grew so much more!!! I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars. Book 2 finished for #JoysofJune @Andrew65

Andrew65 Excellent, great progress 👏👏👏 11mo

This book got on my nerves somewhat. I felt like the main character was childish in a way. Letting things that happen to her when she was child affect her. I rated this book a 3 out of 5 stars.

Rating: 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
It's been awhile since i read a Amish Fiction Novel by Suzanne Woods Fisher so i kind of knew what to expect even tho i didnt totally know what the story would be about even tho i knew it was set in Lancaster County PA. The Characters were so fun and interesting to read about. Lyndie was definately my favorite since she tried her hardest to be punctual despite having ADHD.

Genre: Amish Fiction
It's not easy being the bishop's daughter, especially for Lydie Stoltzfus. She's not like other Amish girls, as much as she wishes she were. The only thing she does well is disappoint others. Leaving her family and church seems unbearable, but staying might be worse.

Knowing Lydie is "between" jobs, the local doctor asks her to fill in at the front desk for a few months.

Thank you to LibraryThing and Revell for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway on Librarything,com last year!! This was my first time reading a Contemporary Fiction Book/Series by Shelley Shepard Gray so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say i throughly enjoyed it. It reminded me alot of Wanda E Brunstetter's Half Stitch Quilting Club but without the craft aspect to it.
