Today I
am posting about all of the books I
have read this quarter, from April to June. Since I have read more than twenty,
that is quite a list, but I have loved every one of them (click on titles for
full reviews).
I think
this was my favorite out of the two in the series (The Gregory Sisters) that I
have read so far. It was completely fantastic, and the mystery was a wonderful
added touch.

Although
I enjoyed many parts of this story, the ending had a huge disconnect that I
could not ignore, which made it my least favorite in the series. I am still
looking forward to reading the third book, however, and still rank this one as
a solid four-bookshelf novel.

I had
been highly anticipating this novel for months, as I am a huge fan of Karen,
and this book did not disappoint. I completely devoured it, and still cannot
stop thinking about all of the wonderful, angel-filled moments that reminded me
just how amazing God is.

This
second book in Karen’s Angels Walking Series as also highly anticipated,
especially after I read the first, and I loved this one even more than its
predecessor. I completely fell in love with Marcus, and Mary Catherine, whose
story reminded me so much of mine—in certain parts that is. My only fault with
this novel is that it left me hanging on the side of a cliff—metaphorically
speaking—and I have to wait until November to find out what happens next.

This
was only the second Susan May Warren book I had read—I found it as a Bargain
buy—but I was so glad I bought it, and read it of course. I have loved every
single book by Susan to date, and the mystery she weaved into this one made it
even more enjoyable.

Even
though this was the first book I had ever read by Jody, it made me a life-long
fan of her writing. This novel effortlessly made its way onto my all-time
favorites list, and is one I will always remember. Especially as I read the
second and eventually the third—when it finally releases.

This
book was the first one I read by this author as well. I enjoyed it immensely,
especially since I love novels where the couple gets married before they fall in love. Clearly it
makes for a wonderful story, and this book was no exception.

As the
second book in Melissa’s Unexpected Brides series, I already knew what I was getting into when I started this book. It met my expectations and more by topping the novel before it.

Once
again, a first for me by this author. This was also the first book in her
Chapel Springs series, but I cannot say it was my favorite. I enjoyed it, but
there were a few stylistic things that bothered me about it, which forced me to
give it less bookshelves. It didn’t diminish my love for her characters,
however, and that is a good thing.

When I
started out planning this post, I decided I would pick one novel that I loved
above all the others I read this quarter. This book is it. Although I went into
this second book in the Chapel Springs series worried that it would bother me
like the first, I found no faults within its pages, and now call it one of my
favorites of all time. It was impossible to put down, absolutely swoon-worthy,
and a novel I know I will read again and again.

As the
third book in the series, I wasn’t sure if it would have faults like the first or
be absolutely wonderful like the second, but it turned out to be a perfectly
happy medium, though it leaned more towards the second. It was wonderful and
also hard to put down, had no faults in my opinion, but just wasn’t quite as
amazing. It is a worthy read, however.

This
was the final book in Denise’s Chapel
Springs series, and was by far my second favorite, barely falling behind Dancing with Fireflies. It didn’t
release until three and a half weeks after I finished The Wishing Season, so I had been anticipating it for a while. I pre-ordered
it on Amazon, so I received it the day it released, and I started—and finished—it
the next day. It only took me about four hours to read it, and I loved every
moment. This is another I will read over and over, especially because Ryan and
Abby continually had be bouncing between laughter and swoons.

I really enjoyed reading this inspiring teenager's book full of encouraging tips on how to just be you. This was the only non-fiction book I finished this quarter, but it was more than enough. If you're ever looking for a good devotional, this is the book to get.
Although
I fear being redundant, I have to say, this was another first for me. I had
never read anything by Vanetta, but I must say I was thoroughly impressed with
her Amish/Englisch romance/mystery. It was easy to read, hard to figure out,
and definitely memorable.

This
second book in the Amish Village Mystery series was just as good as the first,
although for different reasons. Either way, I enjoyed it and found it one to
remember as well. Though I cannot say it was necessarily one of my favorites
this quarter, I am eagerly anticipating reading the third.

After
reading this first book in Susan’s Christiansen Family series, I knew I would
be reading a lot more of her novels over the next couple of weeks, because I
completely fell in love with the Christiansens. Darek was no exception,
although he isn’t my favorite brother. I loved watching him grow as I made my
way through the book, and know I will be returning to this series again
sometime in the near future.

Since
Eden constantly reminded me so much of myself, I couldn’t help but love her
story. I also never expected how it all would pan out, and was surprised with
each chapter. This book was definitely worth the read.

I think
this was my favorite Christiansen novel so far. Grace and Max’s story resonated
with me in a way many books never do, and it really did have the sweetest
moments. I know this is a novel I will remember forever.

Casper
Christiansen is the kind of man many women only dream of. Need I say more? His sweet
personality made this novel the perfect read, and the wonderful storyline only
made it even better. This is another book I will most definitely be reading
again.

Once
again, this was another first for me. Although I wasn’t sure about it going in,
I found this a wonderful read, and added Sarah to my list of authors to keep an
eye on. I enjoyed this book far more than I expected, and thought her World War
II setting made for the perfect story.

I have
read almost all of Jen’s novels, so I already knew going in that this book
would be wonderful. She has a way of creating the best historical romances that
make me long to be able to write like her. This novel made me even more of a believer in her talents.

I have
been a fan of Tracie’s writing since I first read one of her novels over three
years ago. Unfortunately, this book fell flat for me, and wasn't one I enjoyed. There were just too many things wrong with this one for it to be enjoyable.
Although I wasn't a fan, you might be. Check it out here.

This
was also another first for me. I found it an interesting read, as the facts about colonial times were impeccable and very fun to learn, but I cannot say it was one of my favorites.
This book was still enjoyable, and I still recommend you pick it up here.
Those are the books I have read the past three months! I am excited to see if I read more next quarter!
Happy reading!
