More Books Read.....

This morning I finished reading book # 4 The Wyoming Kid by Debbie Macomber.



A Cowboy's Joy

Rancher Lonny Ellison has never known a woman like Joy Fuller. For one thing, she doesn't seem very interested in him, and as an ex-rodeo cowboy, Lonny's not used to that. Women mobbed the Wyoming Kid during his rodeo days! And another thing, he and Joy -- who's a schoolteacher and his sister Letty's best friend -- seem to argue constantly.

But it doesn't matter, does it? Because he's not interested in Joy, either.

Wait a minute. Maybe he is. At least that's what Letty seems to think their arguments are all about. Yup, she might have a point there.

Now he has to convince Joy that marriage to the Wyoming Kid will be as exciting as an eight-second bull ride and as sweet as the cookies she loves to bake.

I always enjoy reading books by Debbie Macomber and this book was no exception. Debbie has a great way of drawing you in the story and turning the pages to find the outcome. A great read.

I then went on to read book #5 Sarah by Mary Christner Borntrager.

Sarah Troyer faces changes in her Amish family because of her mother's illness and death. She is sure that Sadie Zook, the hired girl, mistreats her and scolds her unfairly. At school, Sarah finds Regina Byler to be an understanding friend. Then a near-tragic house fire helps bring healing. Former hurts and forgotten, and Sarah learns to accept a new mother and work as a hired girl herself. At the house raising for Sarah's family, the head carpenter's son notices Sarah, and gives her rides home after group singings. Later, Sarah keeps company with Mahlon Mast. Eventually they are baptized and then married in the Amish church.

I always enjoy reading books about the Amish and the lifestyle they lead. This books was a great read and gives you an insight into the life of an Amish family.
