Ripping Bonnets

We review Book 1 of the "Expectant Amish Widows" series by Samantha Price/machine learning.

This episode is short because nothing happens in Beverly Lewis' "The Reckoning". We learn that Canandaigua, NY is a hot-spot for the arts and terminally ill children. This episode is best enjoyed over a candle-lit breakfast.

"The Confession", book 2 of Beverly Lewis' preachy af series, makes the rookie mistake of failing to consult with an ethnomusicologist. Plus: a controversial stance on 90s sitcom Friends.

Beverly Lewis' "The Shunning" manages to be slightly sexy, very evangelical, and wildly unclear on how genetics work. Plus: Amish Trump PACs!

Wanda really phones it in for the fourth book of her series. We clarify the difference between Beverly Lewis and Beverly Cleary.

Continuing "The Brides of Lancaster County" series with book 3, "Plain and Fancy." Is a "Dutch bob" like a "Cleveland steamer"?

A review of "Looking for a Miracle," book 2 of the "Brides of Lancaster County" series by Wanda Brunstetter. You'll never look at Mrs. Butterworth the same way again.

Jessica, Kristen, and Leighann introduce you to the world of Amish romance with "A Merry Heart," book 1 of the seminal "Brides of Lancaster County" series by Wanda Brunstetter. You'll learn the basic formula for most Amish romance novels, including why you'll never find the word "seminal" in any of them.

Your primer to the Amish Romance genre. Do the Amish read them? How steamy are they? Just how deep does this rabbit hole go, Alice?
