I have read some of this series, and not others, so I decided I would start with the 1st one in the Kate Burkholder Series and read them all in order. This way, I figure I will not skip one.

This was a great book! It's been a long time since I started a book in the morning and finished it the same night.

This one has lots of romance tropes—enemies-to-lovers, only 1 bed, etc. The MC decides to fake being in her sister‘s role after her boss invites himself to dinner. He thinks she owns & runs a farm, but it‘s really her sister. Then, they get snowed in. PG rated romance. I enjoyed this story, it‘s a fun holiday book for light reading.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Maybe because I grew up in Ohio I thought I would like this book & maybe relate to it. It was hard for me to get into. The writing was very descriptive and somewhat confusing to me. I have to say that the climax was very disturbing. I hate to give it a thumbs down but I really wouldn‘t recommend it.

Interesting and so thorough, but too long. Meckler explores the history of integration in Shaker Heights, Ohio through the schools in this community. Chapters focus on individuals, such as teachers and parents, in this suburb of Cleveland to illustrate how racial diversity has affected the town over the years. Admittedly, I didn‘t read much about the book before diving in, but I think the subtitle should mention it‘s all about schools..

I‘ve been working to add more books with girls in sports to my class library, and I‘ve ordered this one to put on the shelf. It‘s absolutely a story of friendship and family and communication. It‘s also about the love of basketball at various levels, from playing as a middle schooler to the complete dedication of college fans to the fun of shooting hoops with your friends.

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
