Sweet and fluffy, but with an engaging plot and a homely feel. Fantastic rainy day style read.

Another series in which I am going back filling in books I've missed.

Thinking back to hearing the author speak earlier this year.

I would consider The Quilter's Apprentice to be a "good summer read". The elements I enjoy in a light novel include, charming characters with whom it is easy to identify, a plausible sequence of events, a predictable and happy ending (even trite, but oh so satisfying), the opportunity to laugh out loud and even possibly shed a tear, and a dash of romance.
