Interested in a series based in a small town.. Light reading.. Any ideas?
Cedar Cove
Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber.
Cedar Cove
lol… Seems like a popular choice!
Debbie Macomber is an awesome writer and Cedar Cove series is great!!!
Jan Karon, the Mitford series. First book is At Home in Mitford.
Love this series!
Cedar cove and chesapeake shores
Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch if you want something a little different.
I agree with @Julie! Mitford series is great!
Amish Mystery series by Laura Bradford, An Amish Quilt Mystery Shop by Isabella Allen, Booktown Mystery by Lorna Barrett, Amish Village Mystery by Vanetta Chapman, and Flower Shop Mystery by Kate Collins are just a few that I enjoy. The Mitford series is excellent also.
Cedar Cove for sure
Phillip Gulley Harmony series
the love will you series, they focused on small towns across US.
Do you know the author?
the books have different authors.
Okay, so it’s called “the love will you”? I cannot seem to find it
sorry, its love will find you, sorry typo 🙂
Hahah. It’s okay but I just couldn’t find it and I was going crazy!
I have read some of these. They are good
Heavenly Daze by Lori Copeland is enchanting!!
Fern Michaels
Cedar cove. Blossom street
Virgin River by Robyn Carr
Mitford Series by Jan Karon. Excellent series of books
Virgin river by Robyn Carr
Big Stone Gap series, by Adriana Trigiani. Big Stone Gap is a small town in southwest Virginia, near where I grew up in East Tennessee. I enjoyed the books as well as the recent movie. The movie played here in Missouri only for a week or so. I don’t know how it did nationally though.
Fannie Flag writes about small town happenings and her books will keep you laughing.
I collect Cape Light series by Katherine Spencer/late Thomas Kinkade. They are wonderful & set in a small picturesque town in the upper East Coast.
Def. Debbie Macomber’s Blossom St! Cedar Cove is also wonderful but there are a lot of books in the series.
Also, Inn at Angel Island is the sister series to Capelight by the same authors. Equally as wonderful
Emily March
Cedar Cove…Virgin River….Chesapeake Shores
The Firefly series by Lisa Claro. Really good. The first one, Love Built to Last is a charmer and reads like a dream.
@Lisa
Mitford series is amazing!! And if you like audio books, this is a great one to listen to!
I guess I will add Mitford to my goodreads list since I keep hearing great things about it.
It’s fabulous!
I hope I can find them all. Sometimes my library won’t find it or be able to get it whether on searchohio or ordering it.
I’m thinking they should because it’s been a very popular series
Lakeshore Chronicles by Susan Wiggs
If you don’t mind cowboys, B. J. Daniels has a great series right now about the Hamiltons of Montana.
start the series by mary campisi….very good
The Cat Who… books by Lillian Jackson Braun. If you like mysteries and cats 🙂
a better one is by sofie ryan/kelly “a magical cat mystery”
Thank you! I’ll have to check that out
I absolutely love them . l finish it fast because of it. so far they have 7. Have yet to read 7… growing list of books l can’t keep up with . you know the dance haha
Oh yeah I definitely know that. I love cats and I love mysteries. That’s why the librarian told me about The Cat Who… books. These sound really good too. I will definitely read them 🙂
I tried those books. I think they dragged on so I stopped but these ones they suck you in so much.
That’s the kind of books I enjoy. Have you read any Agatha Christie’s books? She’s a great mystery author
no but I have a whole list of mysteries to get to on goodreads
I just checked… i have 45 mysteries to read. Not sure if those are also series or singles
I highly recommend her. In my opinion, she’s the best mystery author
Agatha Christie doesn’t have series. Not in the normal sense anyway. She has characters who are in several books but they’re not connected like a series
If you haven’t read Sue Grafton’s books yet, they’re pretty good. They’re a series but you don’t necessarily have to read them in order
scumble river mysteries by denise swanson
Robin Carr Virgin River
Nora Roberts has the Chesapeake Bay series.They are small town and concentrate on each of the siblings in 4 books…Sea Swept,Rising Tides,Inner Harbor,and Chesapeake Blue….great books!
Absolutely. Sheryl Woods Chesapeake Shores Series… The OBriens are a great family, and she tells their story beautiifully
Icicle Falls series by Sheila Roberts, Cobbled Court Quilt series by Marie Boswick, Lakeshore Chronicles by Susan Wiggs, Blue Heron series by Kristan Higgins
If you are in to YA paranormal type reading checkout the Shadow demon series by Sarra Cannon.
Jan Karon– the little old preacher in Mitford!!
Love her books and Joan Medlicott is good, too.
Icicle falls – Shelia roberts
Life in Icicle Falls by Shelia Roberts
The Inn of Rose Harbor series by Debbie Macomber. Just finished the 4th book in the series and it’s a cliff hanger. Can’t wait for her to publish the next book to see what happens. It’s based on a Bed & Breakfast in Cedar Cove.
I love these…
Jill Gregory Lonesome way or Sherryl Woods Chesapeake Shores
