I have been doing a lot of just sitting and reading the last few days.
Since I have not been quilting, I am reading this fictional series about quilters.
I have mixed feelings about this author and series.
There is a lot that I like and a lot I do not like.
I really like the setting which sounds like a lovely vacation spot. There is even a recipe from a real restaurant at the end of each book.
However, the writing is a bit amateurish and the books read like watching soap operas which are not my cup of tea.
After the third book ended in yet another cliffhanger that is clearly designed to make readers go pre-order the next book, I may have decided that I do not care enough about the characters to buy the book.
I am wondering if others have read this series and have felt the same way.
I see the author has other quilt series and am wondering if these are worth reading.
Discussion welcome ... :)

Your knitting is looking great Pat. Glad you are enjoying it. I think I read her Colebridge community series, well 1 or 2 of the books a long time ago and was not very impressed with it. Sounds like what you are seeing in this series. Enjoy the day. HUGS!!!
I agree with you about the amateurish writing. I stopped reading Ann Hazlewood a long time ago. I do like Jennifer Chiaverini's books, and my favorite author is Sandra Dallas. I have read some books by Tracy Chevalier that are also good. Both authors write more historical stories with a little quilting or sewing mixed in.
