The Shop on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber

Debbie Macomber always tells a good story that I can get lost in.  This is the first in a new series taking place in Seattle.  We were introduced to four women from four different backgrounds.  Lydia opened up a yarn shop and is a cancer survivor.  Jaqueline is a well to do woman upset with her husband and her sons choice for a wife.  Carol desparately wants a baby.  Alix is a troubled woman just trying to figure things out.  Lydia offers a knitting class that brings all of these women together, women who would have never chosen to be friends.  I always feel a part of the story and the lives and miss them when I am finished.  I am looking forward to reading more of the series.

Knit One, Kill Two by Maggie Sefton

I have wanted to read this for a while and finally found it at the library.  It is the first in a series of knitting murder mysteries.  Kelly's aunt is murdered and she goes back to Colorado to take care of the estate.  She met a lot of her aunts friends and was taken into their little group of knitters and such.  Things did not sit well with the whole situation of her aunt's murder, especially when another person is murdered, and she started to investigate.  In the end Kelly had decided to stay in Colorado, take up knitting and enjoy her new life there.  I cannot wait to  see what continues to happen in the rest of the series.

The Inn at Eagle Point by Sherryl Woods

This is a new author for me.  I had picked up one of her books at a book sale, of course, and found out that it was in the middle of the series.  I cannot start in the middle and lucked out finding this as an eBook from the library!  A nice easy read about a family along the Chesapeake Bay.  They have their problems and all work thing out differently.  Abby has a wonderful job in New York City, but her sister, Jess, calls her home.  She purchased an inn and she was going to loose it to the bank if she did not get some help.  An old flame of Abby's is at the bank and adds a little kink to it all.  Woods has very good character development and tells a good story.  I am looking forward to seeing how other members of the family and the town grow and interact with each other.  A great book to just loose yourself in for a while.
