Christmas at the Amish Bakeshop | 
pickI 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!! 11mo
Chrissyreadit i bet my mom would love this. i‘m so glad you shared it. 11mo
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. 11mo

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. 11mo
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 😢💙💜 11mo
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 11mo
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. 11mo
Reggie @Librarybelle it was! I felt so good today after finishing it last night. 11mo
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. 11mo
