It's a week of confessions over here, apparently.
So the latest?
I love Amish fiction.
There. I said it.
This is on my mind because Jeff asked me what I was reading on my Kindle the other night and I refused to tell him. Because I thought he would laugh at me. Once I explained to him what Amish fiction was, I mean.
When I was younger my mother worked for a church. I would go to work with her on days that school was out and hang out in the church library, where the only books they stocked in the young adult section were Amish fiction novels. Yeah, I have no idea either.
And that's the story of how I got hooked on reading a lot of books about Lancaster county and prayer kapps and being put under the ban.
My mother got me a kindle for Christmas and do you know what genre totally dominates the free kindle e-books?
Yes. Amish. Fiction.
So I give in and I'm explaining the whole concept of Amish fiction to Jeff, telling him that one thing I like about the books is that they have romance without sex scenes.
Twenty minutes later I storm into the den. "Jeff! There is totally a sex scene in this book! One minute he is tending to the farm and then I flip the page and they're rolling around in the hay loft! GRAPHICALLY rolling! It's like some sort of Amish Harlequin novel!" I was quite taken aback by it. You may now commence to call me a prude.
Jeff says I'm quite possibly the only 20-something girl on the planet that loves these books. But given that they are always on the top-rated free Kindle list, I think there's a bunch of other closeted Amish fiction lovers out there. Right? RIGHT?
