And I&#8217;ve even been too tired to knit. But I can read, and read I have been! And I&#8217;ve found the nicest series of books!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been in my home, you know I have a lot of amish art and figures. I love the simple lines but also the simple life style has always appealed to me. Over the years my friends have read amish stories, but I&#8217;m not really a love story person (unless it&#8217;s Jane Austen) so I hadn&#8217;t really paid much attention.<\/p>\n<p>Lately I&#8217;d been in a true crime bender and needed something to clear it out of my mind. I stumbled upon this series by Karen Anna Vogel which incorporated two things I loved, Amish and knitting! And then as I read the books, the characters were reading Jane Austen and Anne of Green Gables!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But the books are more than just a sweet diversion, there are some great character lessons and truths. I plan to buy physical copies of these books just so I can lend them to friends and family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have you read this series? What did you think? Doo you have any suggestions for similar books?<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-official sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><div class=\"fb-share-button\" data-href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=14237\" data-layout=\"button_count\"><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><div class=\"pinterest_button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D14237&#038;media=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2018%2F07%2F20180707_134952526531731.jpg&#038;description=Amish%20book%20series\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-config=\"beside\"><img src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/images\/pidgets\/pinit_fg_en_rect_gray_20.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-url=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=14237\" data-text=\"Amish book series\" data-via=\"Knitnmom\" >Tweet<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a class=\"tumblr-share-button\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/share\" data-title=\"Amish book series\" data-content=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=14237\" title=\"Share on Tumblr\"data-posttype=\"link\">Share on Tumblr<\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button\" href=\"http:\/\/osbornz.net\/amy\/?p=14237\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span>Print<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;width:150px;\"><ul style=\"background-image:none;\"><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Amish%20book%20series&body=http%3A%2F%2Fosbornz.net%2Famy%2F%3Fp%3D14237&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
