Fans of Amish Fiction discussion

Nominations are now open for March, 2025!

So far, the author exempt from nomination, since we've already selected one of their books this year, is Jennifer Beckstrand and Sharlene MacLaren, although we may make exceptions for novella collections that include one of these authors. If you're not sure if your book is eligible for nomination, please leave a comment and one of the moderators will get back to you!

Rules:
1. Any Amish-themed novel is eligible.
2. One nomination per person.
3. If two people nominate the same book, each person's vote counts. So the book will feature twice in the list to give each vote an equal chance.
4. Nominations run until the 14th of the month, with the winner announced on the 15th.
5. The winning book is chosen using Random.org to make it completely fair.
6. Please don't nominate a book we have already read. You can see our list of previous group reads here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... or look at the group read's bookshelf here: https://www.goodreads.com/group/books... (it includes the Christian group read as well).
7. Only nominate the first book in a series UNLESS we have already read #1 (see above link). In this case, #2 is then eligible for nomination!

I'm sorry for the delay - my house has had the flu and this is the first I've been on the computer this month.

No need to apologize. I pray that everyone is getting better.

I would like to nominate:
Anna's Crossing by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Anna's Crossing
Amish Beginnings #1
by Suzanne Woods Fisher

I will nominate .

Anna's Crossing, great choice and beautiful book and story. I've read that one already back in 2018 / 2019, so will do no 2 - A bee in her bonnet by Jennifer Beckstand

For March: Happily Ever Amish #1 by Shelley Shepard Gray

I'm going to leave this open for an extra day since we had the delay. Who else wants to toss another nomination into the ring?

It's been a while for me, and I'm going to nominate The Courtship Plan (Amish of Marigold, #1) by Kathleen Fuller.

A Season on the Wind by Suzanne Woods Fisher

I’m not sure that we’ve read this one. I checked the shelves but hope I haven’t overlooked anything. Piecing it all Together by Leslie Gould

I'm glad we were without power yesterday due to all the wind in town. We received two excellent nominations.

Our group read for March is going to be... Piecing It All Together (Plain Patterns, #1) by Leslie Gould. Thanks Susann!

Yay! I’m excited to read this one. I think this is my first nomination too.
