Welcome to Litsy!

5✨The second book in the Amish Candy Shop series. This one I really enjoyed with the candy competition. It was interesting that the murder happened using an allergy. It focused on talk of different districts being more or less strict in the Amish ways, and young people making a choice to be baptized into the community or not. #SeriesLove #TeamFlurken #HauntedShelves

$0.99 on kindle today. A colleague told me about this months ago, but I never got around to getting a copy. I fixed that today.

Engrossing. Kate heads to Laurel Ridge to try to understand why her brother killed himself. She feels the local police didn‘t properly look into the matter. The few answers she digs up only leads to more questions and this small town definitely holds some secrets (some obvious). But, she begins to cooperate with the Police Chief (or vice versa) to solve their questions.

“…you can‘t prevent people from making bad decisions. No matter how much you care.”

Cute little teen-type of clean romance stories. Stories were so similar that I read the 1st 2, then bailed. It was odd to have a glossary to understand the Amish words & phrases used in the stories; however, it probably added to the authenticity of the text? Enjoyed.

I picked this up when we were in Pennsylvania last month. It was written by an insider, so it avoids stereotyping, yet the author doesn‘t shy away from exploring all the divisions and dissensions that have happened over the last 250 years. I loved it. (Picture from our trip.)

Zombie stuff is almost never my cup of tea, but I really enjoyed this graphic novel. The horror elements are minimalized and the character development and growth is outstanding. I also really enjoyed seeing the characters take to the mountains to escape their usual reality of lower elevations. #DisabilitiesRep #LGBTQIA #Jewish #Amish

Another solid Pick! Katie is flawed but with an eerie sense of timing and human nature that helps her do the right thing- she is a complete bad-a$$ and a role model for young Amish women. Being a former Amish and speaking their dialect doesn‘t hurt either

I am loving these Amish mysteries so much. This one too is twisty and riveting. Chief of Police Kate Burkholder grew up Amish and she‘s a perfect fit for keeping the peace in Painters Mill, an Amish community in Ohio

Compelling, heartbreaking, unputdownable. Katie‘s investigating a fatal hit-and-run accident (murder?) between a truck going 80 mph and an Amish horse-driven buggy after dark that kills a dad and 2 children.
