Help! I'm stuck in a {3} book{s} and I can't get out!

OK, so last time I said I needed a book I could really get into in order to make time to read it. . . . yeah, that just got me into trouble.

My latest book from Waterbrook Publishers was When the Soul Mends by Cindy Woodsmall.  It is the final book in a 3-part series, Sisters of the Quilt.  At the suggestion of a fellow book-blogger, and good friend and running buddy, I went ahead and checked out the first 2 books in the series from our local library.  I did this last Tuesday and finished all 3 books in 8 days.  Someone please come help my house and poor children for they have been ignored for the past 8 days.  I should have known better.  This is why I don't read.  I love it too much and want to forget everything else.  I really need some help finding a balance. . . . but we all knew that already.

Anyway, the Sisters of the Quilt series is a MUST READ if you are a Christian Romance fan.  It has it all, suspense, mystery, lovey gushiness that makes you all warm and tingly inside, and a lesson to be learned on faith and forgiveness.  It connects you with each and every character on a personal level so much so that I am truly disappointed that I am done reading them.  I want more! 
The series is based on Hannah, an Old Order Amish girl in love,who lives in the middle of a very strict and unforgiving community with an even more strict father.  A terrible thing happens to her and poor Hannah's life just snowballs from there.  I don't want to give away much else as the entire series has you turning pages in hopes and fears of what is come next.  I didn't even find it all that predictable, which is a common problem many readers have in love stories.  Granted, I don't mind a little predictability, but this one kept me surprised for the most part.  I give the entire series 2 thumbs up for the books and 2 thumbs down for how it puts every single other thing you need to get done on the back burner (but that might just be my issue, you might have more self-control than I do). 

I even see at the back of the book #3 that she has another series out.  Do I dare bury myself in books again?  I better make sure my children know they are loved and adored and tackle this mound of laundry in front of me first.  So, I might tackle the next series this summer (it will probably take me that long to catch up).  I'll let you know (since I know you will be on the edge of your computer chair each day until I fill you in. LOL)

I received this book for FREE from WaterbrookMultnomah Publishers for writing this review.
