The Aloha Quilt Audiobook

" I love this series. Another great read by Chiaverini. It's great to learn about other "less known" quilting styles. Enjoyable & light. "

" I read this book during a rather testing period of my life, and needed some comfort reading. This series of books fills that niche in my life. And happily I was pleasantly surprised to find Bonny the main character in this particular book alter her direction from being the downtrodden sad character, to a woman who reasserts her sense of identity and takes control of her life. It was the medicine that I needed to salve a abraded soul. "

" Very good novel with a little mystery to go along. Very good "

" Bonnie goes to Hawaii for several months to help her friend, Claire, launch her own quilt camp and to escape her greedy, abusive husband, Craig. Fun read with lots of interesting history about Hawaii. "

" Hope, acceptance and aloha! "

" I was skeptical that this book could really contain much about quilting--how cold do people get in Hawaii? But Chiaverini manages to weave tidbits about the Hawaiian style of quilting into her story of an Elm Creek quilter trying to help start a new quilt camp, struggling to decide where she belongs, and divorcing her unfaithful husband--who has other plans for her. "

" This is a different setting than most of Jennifer Chiaverini's books. Didn't know if I would like it or not. Took me a couple of tries before I finally sat down, started reading and gave it a good chance. Very enjoyable. Learned a little about Hawaiian culture along the way too! "

" I enjoyed this book and learned a lot about Hawaii. "

" A bland story but very interesting about Hawaiian culter "

" A good book, particularly for fans of the modern Elm Creek Quilters, but it was a little predictable in my opinion. I was able to guess at most of the story within one or two chapters. "

" I don't quilt but these books are about more than quilting. This offers a respectful look at different culture in a warm cozy friendly book with characters easy to know. "

" This quilting story takes place in Hawaii as the title suggests and gives fascinating glimpses into the history of the fiftieth State. Who knew that quilting was an art form in this island paradise? "

" It was a fluff book, but sometimes I enjoy reading fluff and a very quick read too. Very predictable, but not the ending I would have given it, but I did like it. "

" Thoroughly enjoyable 'beach read' as I sit ON the BEACH! "

" I like this author and her books so much, but I was disappointed with this one. It felt kind of contrived. However, I will continue to buy each and every book she writes! "

" This is a great series of books and well done in keeping up with the people in the series, predominantly women. The political side of the history of Hawaii is not what I expected within this series, so I lightly read that part. I loved the history of Hawaiian quilting. "

" I guess I shouldn't have started with number 16 of the series, but it was set on the island of Maui and I just could'nt help myself. Now I want to make a quilt in the Hawaiian style! "

" very good story and good instructions on how to make a traditional hawaiian square "

" Good fast reading.... "

" I just happen to love these books. Easy reads, nothing really remarkable...just makes me want to finish a few quilt projects. "

" I've read and loved every single Elm Creek Quilt books .. this one is proving to be no different! "

" As always a great read by Jennifer Chiaverini. It was great learning some historical points relating to Hawaii. "

" Another lovely story in the series, interesting to learn some things about Hawaiian quilting. "

" Another good book. I especially like it because most of the book takes place in Maui, where we are going in the fall. Really makes me want to be there now. I love how the cultural in Hawaii is all about family and that it doesn't necessary mean blood relatives either. "

" Books about quilting AND quilters?!?!? Yeah, I'm there. ;) Love this series! "

" Nice beach book! A little history, a little pragmatic instruction, a little drama and a little romance. Set in Maui. "

" Thoroughly enjoyable 'beach read' as I sit ON the BEACH! "

" This is the latest in the quilt novels. I love the friendship among the women in these books. These are great for a light fun read. "

" Set on Maui and very authentic to the islands. "

" Really liked this book. Some of her middle books seemed a lot the same, but this one is different. Really enjoyed it like the first ones. "

" fabulous book...i had no idea that hawaii had a monarchy...until it became a state of the usa...the amazing culture of the people...president clinton even apologized....hawaiins traditionally cut out their own quilt pattern and only use 2 colours...stunning...loved it for the history of it all... "

" I want to revisit Hawaii! Very interesting tidbits about the islands of Maui and Oahu. It was also interesting to learn about Hawaiian quilts, too. "
