Additional notes: This is the fourth book in the Plain, or Daughters of the Promise, series. You can read my review of the first book here, the second book here and the third book here. This series has five books and is, so far as I know, ongoing.
My thoughts: I really like Amish Christian books, but I'm not such a huge fan that all of them are the sort-of classic boy meets girl, boy likes girl, conflict ensues, then boy and girl live happily ever after. Most of Beth's books are like this, but this one stands out because it's more about the mother-daughter relationship than a boy-girl relationship.

Additional notes: This is the sixth book in the Reverend Curtis Black series. You can read my review of the second book here, third book here, the fourth book here and the fifth book here. This series currently has eight books and is, so far as I know, ongoing.
My thoughts: The plot centering around Alicia was a nice surprise! Although, I have to say that it seems all the women are the same and the men are the same. Not a lot of character development, but still, the series is interesting!

Additional notes: The Economides family has a first book, The America's Cheapest Family Gets You Right on the Money. You can read my review of that book here.
My thoughts: The best tip I gained from this book was to start a sales binder. Record when items you regularly buy go on sale, so you can somewhat anticipate when they will be on sale again. This will help you to buy appropriately during the sale so you have enough until the next sale. I will definitely be doing this for Suave shampoo (it is the cheapest shampoo I have found when it's 11 bottles for $10 at Meijer). Overall, I knew everything in this book, but I find these sorts of books are worth the time to read even if I learn only one new thing, plus the information reinforces what I know and encourages me to keep doing what I'm already doing.

Additional notes: This is the second book in the Amish Bakery series. You can read my review of the first book here. There are currently three books in the series with the fourth slated to release this year. This series is scheduled for six full-length novels and two Christmas novellas, which are both out now.
My thoughts: If you read my review of the first book, you know how much I loved the first book. This book was still good, but more about the classic boy-girl relationship (see my review of Beth's book above). I hope the others are about other things and not just this...

Additional notes: This is the final and last book in the Left Behind series. You can read my review of the tenth book here, the eleventh book here and the twelvth book here.
My thoughts: While I loved this series, I'm certainly glad it is now over! That took me many years to read the series. I really enjoyed this book, although I didn't really like that the book basically covered one year of the 1,000-year reign, then just sort of skipped to the end. I felt the plot, in that sense, wasn't well thought out. However, I credit this series with my love for Jesus as an adult. I really recommend this series to everyone and will always keep this series in my permanent library (which is kind of saying a lot - my permanent library mostly consists of cookbooks and craft books).
