"Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts books....have become classics of their kind." (The Dallas Morning News)

Circle of Quilters (Unabridged)

I've been a fan of Jennifer Chiaverini for years and have read most of her books. I believe that this one is one of her best! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Made me want to learn to quilt

What a great book! Was not sure what to expect from this book - but was pleasantly surprised at how I loved every character. After listening - I am actually considering learning to quilt - bought a beginners book today!

Delightful surprise

I was so prepared to hate this book, questioning what had intrigued me into buying it. I'm not (yet) a quilter and I still don't know what made me put it into my shopping cart. Even when I started it, right after finishing a wonderful book, I was expecting to be disappiointed. As the charactrs were laid out before me, the negative anticipation gave way to empathy and delight. I really cared about the five "applicants" and now, a day or two later, I'm thinking should get a book later in the series just to see how they have fared.

The downside of this novel is that now I am not certain the I will ever take up quilting, which I've always planned to do "eventually." The book makes it sound very complicated and time consuming and a pasttime requiring more attention and time than I have available. For those who are already quilters, it is probably lots of fun to read about familiar designs and techniques, and even perhaps get hints of new ones.

I have read that this particular novel is different from others in the series. I will certainly read another of the novels. This, as a stand-alone, is quite good.

Loved, loved, loved

I find that if a book grabs me and I don't want to leave it then it's a 5! This one did just that, all of her book do. I love to quilt, but listening to quilting stories while I quilt just puts the icing on the cake!

Couldn't put it down

Once I got into this book and realized the depth that was going into each of the main characters I couldn't stop listening to it. I loved it and it will stay with me for a long time. The reader was so amazing because I heard so many different voices and accents.
