I finished the last book in the Mitford series by Jan Karon last night, Light from Heaven. It was a bittersweet thing for me to finally finish this book – I wanted to finish it and see how it ended, but I hated to see these books and this series come to an end. Sigh. Very sad. I’ve read all nine of these books and enjoyed them immensely. They are comfy cozy books, like an old quilt, and I look forward to each new one so that I can read it and see what’s going on with my favorite characters. Now, the series is over and there are no more. The good news is that the writer, Jan Karon, is going to take the main character (Father Tim) and do a set of 3 books about him, and just not have them set in Mitford. So, I do look forward to those. The first book won’t be out until 2007, though.
OK, I’ve updated my sidebar. That makes 2 books so far for 2006, 589 pages completed. I still have to enter a book review on the Reviews section of Hambones for “Light from Heaven”.
I started the Nicholas Sparks book I bought last summer, “True Believer” late last night, and so that’s my new “currently reading” 🙂
I to like the Mitford series. I’m afraid that I’ve only read like 4 or 5 of them so far. I was wondering if the series was ever going to end. Guess now I know.
Love the colors of your blog.

Hi Stacy!
I’m so glad you stopped by “By the Way Sunday.” I enjoyed reading your answers. Hope you’ll come back by and participate again.
I have read one of the Mitford series books. Right now I’m reading the Elm Creek Quilts series by Jennifer Chiaverini. I like series, as well, and really have a hard time when they end. lol 🙂
Thanks Kathy and Sindee – glad you stopped by!!!
