I bought the first book at a store that had used books included in their things for sale. While reading the book I was hooked and looking at the first pages, realized they were a series. I went to a used book store and accidently but happily found only two of Jan Karon's books, one was the one that I was reading at the time and the other happened to be book two which I purchased very quickly. After doing research and learning how much it was going to cost to purchase the rest of the series from the published, I happened to remember purchasing some books a couple years before from e-bay, so I went to the website and found all of the rest of the series. I love reading these books because not only do they are so well written that you actually feel like you are right there in Mitford while you are reading them. I also like the references to the bible through out the books. Some years ago I collected the Grace Livingston Hill books and still have them. Occasionally I run across one of her books that I do not have which is few and far between since I have most of them. They are really good but Jan Karon's books transport you to the site/scene you are reading about so very well. I loaned one to a friend of mine and she just let me know that she had read the first chapter of book one and clearly understood why I loved them so well.Read full review
Just read this Mitdord series by Jan Karon. My entire extended family is reading them. When you're reading _In This Mountain_, you are living in Mitford, enjoying the small town gossip, experiencing Tim's worries along with him...and being uplifted by his faith. Father Timothy married at the age of 62. His wife, Cynthia is high spirited and adds to the fun in these books. They're not sleepy little novels....they are grand books which stay with you.
