2025 States Challenge
This challenge is always fun but hard. Some states are not as readily represented as others. Could 2026 be the year that I complete the states?

As promised 2025 Alphabet Challenge. This was not completed but I did get a few letters I normally don’t. I hope 2026 is my year to complete it.

This was a different Amish book than I’ve read before. I enjoyed the story and the differences than my typical Amish read.
After the death of his wife in Paraguay, Aaron has returned to Delaware with his daughter. He is running from grief and a church he doesn’t agree with regarding their beliefs. He is unsure of where he should settle and what he should do for work. He is sure that he never wants to live again or belong to a church that dictates his life.
Willa is a headstrong and impulsive Amish woman. Willa watches Aaron leave his daughter in the car as he starts a new job helping with the addition on the store. An infuriated Willa marches right outside to her future.
Can Willa and Aaron find common ground to make a life together?
This is the fifth book in a series. I didn’t realize that until I looked into the author. I had no trouble following along with the characters. I am interested in reading the series.

An enjoyable romantic spoof of the Grinch. A bit spicy and I will never look at a candy cane so innocently again.
Storee returns to Kringletown with her sister in order to help her aunt heal after a broken hip. Ten years before Storee left in a rush after a disastrous day not realizing her friend Cole had just received the worst news. Unfortunately for her running into Cole on her first day back starts a rivalry for the towns most Christmas Kringle. As the Kringle events heat up with competition so does the passion.
You have grumpy/sunshine with fake dating and lots of spice.

There have been many, many bad reviews regarding A Heart for Christmas. I enjoyed the book.
I think some readers forgot the fact or didn’t realize it is a Teen/Young Adult novel not a spicy grown up novel. It was translated from another language so it will have a few awkward moments with language flow. The biggest is also which edition you received. The blue cover edition is not filled with grammatical and editing errors as the red edition.
I will say I enjoyed letting a few days build and read more chapters at a time. It made me feel more connected to the story.
April’s experience reminds us that life is fleeting and can change in a heartbeat. We need to live each day to the fullest and so forgiveness and love as much as we can.
An eye opening read on a subject you don’t find much in Amish fiction. A reformed convict who is finding his way back.
The story read quickly and I was not expecting the plot twist in the latter part of the story. It was a good twist.
I love when I guess something correctly in a story before it is revealed. I almost couldn’t focus on the other storylines because I continuously kept mulling over my thoughts.
Nola is still working on her home renovation and ghosts are still haunting her and the home. She knows who they are but not why they are haunting her except that one ghost did in fact live at the home. Her immediate family comes for a visit which gives her more insight into the ghosts.
This is a series you do need to read in order. If you don’t you will be lost on who is who and their why. I wish I had read the series before this one to understand even more.
