HI,

I’m Carla

Welcome to Carla’s Book Crush where I share my favorite clean, Christian reads. I review everything from Amish and historical romance to suspense, contemporary fiction, nonfiction, and the occasional devotional. If it has heart, hope, and a message that points back to Christ, it’s probably on my shelf. I also love chatting with authors and featuring interviews that give you a peek behind the pages. Whether you’re looking for a new release, a cozy weekend read, or just something uplifting and well-written, you’re in the right place. Clean stories. Encouraging faith. Books worth reading.

After a frightening break-in, widowed dressmaker Isla Stohl turns to Sheriff Evan Miller, the man who left their Amish community sixteen years ago. Determined to make amends and keep Isla and her children safe, Evan finds himself drawn back to the faith he left behind…and to the woman he’s never stopped loving.

Amish book authors, I could use your help. Many readers find my blog through Google searches for Amish fiction, especially upcoming releases. I’m putting together my Top Winter 2025 Amish Books list and would love to include your work.

I’m jumping on here to give you Georgie’s December Book Rec. This is my first book for December and he nailed it. If you want to see a funny conversation between me and my sister (she knows me so well), then swipe. #mycatreads #georgiesbookrec 😂😂 He needs his own hashtag

Since it’s Black Friday, I thought it is important to explain book math for our newer readers and Bookstagrammers.

I have some thanks to give! 😉 Below are a few books that have come into my life recently.
