The Knitting Fairy (A Crabapple Yarns Mystery) by Jaime Marsman

Book Description: The Knitting Fairy about a dejected librarian turned novice knitter who finds herself caught in a mysterious knitting scandal.

The cast of variegated characters will keep you laughing as the intricately woven chain of events unwinds. The mystery will have you hooked all the way to the end.

My Thoughts: I'm not a knitter but I do like a good yarn {smile} and this is such a fun read!

A dejected, actually fired for a silly reason, young librarian, Molly, is offered a job at a knitting shop. As she learns to knit, she also meets very interesting people. And to top.it.all.off she gets the privilege of living in the upstairs apartment for free.

The characters in this story are funny and whimsical . . . the kind that make you like them at first read.

Of course, just next door to the knitting shop is the most delightful bakery with out.of.this.world cinnamon rolls! And then there's the not too mushy romance that makes this one GREAT read!

I truly enjoyed this cozy mystery!

I'm not sure one can label this a christian read . . . yes, prayer is mentioned but honestly, this is a cozy mystery. But I'm grateful to christian writers who insert christian values into their reads!

Is there really a knitting fairy? You must read this book for yourself to find out!

**Actually I've wanted to learn to knit for awhile so I ordered one of these Knifty Knitters and LOVE it! Watch youtube for good tips, too!

COTT {Clash of the Titles} When Mountains Move, a Novel of Tragedy and Triumph

"If you haven't yet read Julie Cantrell's best-selling debut novel, Into the Free, you should probably get after that. If you're wondering why, check out [this] review or [this] interview with this stunning new literary talent. Done? OK. If you haven't gone over to your favorite retailer and "clicked to purchase" Into the Free yet, I'll give you a sec."We good? OK, now go ahead and let When Mountains Move drop into your shopping cart; you won't be disappointed!" --USA Today

About the book:

It is the spring of 1943. With a wedding and a cross-country move, Millie’s world is about to change forever.

If only her past could change with it.

Soon after the break of day, Bump will become Millie’s husband. And then, if all goes as planned, they will leave the rain-soaked fields of Mississippi and head for the wilds of the Colorado Rockies. As Millie tries to forget a dark secret, she hasn’t yet realized how drastically those past experiences will impact the coming days.

For most of Millie’s life, being free felt about as unlikely as the mountains moving. But she’s about to discover that sometimes in life, we are given second chances, and that the only thing bigger than her past … is her future.
