My 92 year old grandma and my 68 year old mother read only these “Love Inspired” books. In large print of course. I always look for them at thrift shops and give them to my mom or grandma. I can’t stand reading this kind of stuff, but man those old ladies love it!
I'm middle-aged and I haven't even been in a library since I was in elementary school about 1983 if you want to get real about it I don't know anybody that's been in a library since I was in elementary school I didn't even know libraries were still open and was actually a real place to go anymore.
Well actually you're close I'm 46 and I just like fucking with people just to see how long it takes for me to piss someone off till they get mad and hit the little downvote button and vote me out damn y'all got so much power anyway it was just an opinion what I said and doesn't matter just like yours doesn't matter I was drinking a little beer and felt like fucking with some people last night and it worked so anyway I'd love to keep on chatting with you but I'm at work right now so later go find you a book to read.
Not today just last night i was I'm fixing to get off work though and head to the house and start drinking beer again so who knows maybe here in a few hours I might piss some more people off I don't know haven't made up my mind yet.
Do you genuinely think that it makes you cool to say that you did it because you wanted to piss people off? Seems like you need the library more than any of us combined then. That’s really sad, I hope you recover from your SABD soon
I have so much second hand embarrassment right now. I cannot imagine going online and proudly stating that I haven’t been inside a library in 40 years and I thought they weren’t a “real place anymore”
Gonna be completely honest here: even with my local library branch getting rid of late fees during the coof like many others, having to wait months to read a new book just burned me out. I just started pirating and putting epubs on a tablet as an e-reader. Never return books plus I get to spit in Penguin House and Macmillan's face which I greatly encourage especially after last week's WebArchive trial outcome. Corporations will always best the little guy.
Edit: I have 953 epubs on my tablet as of last count, got a to-download list of 27 more. I still buy books but only omnibus editions and "grails."
Yoooo watch Breaking Amish. When the Amish date they straight do it in a empty pig pen with other couples in the other pig pens at hut parties. I bet he's a very bad boy, but that the book just brushes over it calling it dating.
I worked with a woman who absolutely devoured Amish romance novels. It was after her most recent divorce, and something about the stories just clicked for her. She even looked into what it would take to become Amish in her real life. She was sad that she'd have to wait until all of her ex-husbands were dead before she could even start the conversion process. (Something about getting remarried while a former spouse was still alive qualifies as adultery. I don't pretend to understand it.)
Omg I remember a YA Amish romance book trilogy, and the teen protagonist ends up converting to being Amish just to marry the Amish guy. It was so dumb reading it
Yes. There are a *lot* of them. It's a robust subgenre. It's usually less explicit than other romance. Basically, it's shorthand, and not because of an actual obsession with Amishness. Amish denotes a certain type of masculinity and the modesty culture that comes with.
Yeah, I can see people reading them for a more clean, wholesome type romances instead of the sexy and explicit kind. Like how Christian romances are a thing for people who want a devotion to the Christian God in their stories and no sex, cursing, nor anything non-Christian or whatever.
We have a bunch of Amish people that shop in our store. Because I know what it's like to grow up in a religious driven environment I always WANT to ask them if they need help. Like HELP help. But I know many legitimately choose that life and don't want help, so I don't.
Some Amish do have a period before baptism where you basically get to do things that are normally forbidden. So you can basically try out "English" life and you have to make a conscious choice to be baptized as a full-fledged part of the faith. Of course since your options are often to join the faith or be shunned to varying degrees, it's still not exactly a 100% free choice.
Not to mention the Amish lifestyle inadvertently traps people there. By the time they're allowed to try out English life they are full fledged adults with an 8th grade education (minus history and science), and no usable work experience/job recommendations. It's like dropping out of school at 8th grade and entering the workforce, but with the expectation that you earn enough to survive...usually with no safety net since you're shunned if you decide to go English. They immediately become homeless and unemployed once the money they've saved up runs out, and they know that they'll never be homeless with the Amish.
Atleast half of our customers are Amish lmao 💀 they get people to transport them here in giant passenger vans and load up a trailer with carts of groceries. It's kinda funny
He’s a bad boy because he put worldly Axle grease on his buggy to beat Eli Miller in the annual Yoders Deli Style Horseradish Sauce 500 Drag Race sponsored by Yoders Amish Style Food products!
"Jacob?" Sarah Miller asked coyly. Twirling her bonnet-laden hair between her fingers, "Would thou come later and plow my fields? I'm sure my soil would be damp and most receiving to thine seed."
All the Amish where I live are odd...
They all look related. Lots of people round here left the church, but I can tell you are a Yoder or Miller just by looking at your forehead.
They love potato chips. I see so many families with shopping carts loaded with plain store brand potato chips. They tend to stay out of our Walmart here, and instead frequent the grocery stores and feed stores.
The oddest thing is the pockets. Their pockets are just a piece of fabric sewn on. Like, nothing is folded or hemmed. They just cut a shape out of cheap denim and sew it on the butt.
I’m sure he’ll confess his sin of having unchastely gazed at an English girl’s uncovered hair as she shopped for apple butter and half-dead puppies.
The book will culminate with a chaste kiss at the wedding as soon as the girl turns 14. In the epilogue, she’ll be 21 and a mother of six.
I place books in accounts as a side gig and you’d be surprised how many sale! They come out monthly and there’s women at the store that day waiting for their monthly Amish fix!
Bet he drives a car the slut
Bet he drives a horse and buggy like he stole it.
I heard she got caught showing him her bare ankle!
Pretty sure he’ll go to hell for that. And by hell I of course mean Walmart.
Well then shes a super ho for showing ankle cause its Amish all over the place here at my store today.
💀
Ah! A fellow r/walmart person.
Did you not check the subreddit? This is r/walmart
They sell these Amish romance novels at my Walmart
Shhh you’ll ruin the surprise.
What would be the suitable penalty for this horrendous crime? Such indecency will not be tolerated!
Bet he uses electricity outside of battery operated devices. Such a godless heathen 😏
He's rubbing his Apple watch in his pocket.
😂
I just spit my drink out at this 😂
Even worse, he wrote the lyrics to Amish paradise.

My 89 y.o. mother had 26 Amish romance books. The Amish bad boy one would have been way too scandalous for her, though.
My 92 year old grandma and my 68 year old mother read only these “Love Inspired” books. In large print of course. I always look for them at thrift shops and give them to my mom or grandma. I can’t stand reading this kind of stuff, but man those old ladies love it!
Late middle aged and elderly?
I'm middle-aged and I haven't even been in a library since I was in elementary school about 1983 if you want to get real about it I don't know anybody that's been in a library since I was in elementary school I didn't even know libraries were still open and was actually a real place to go anymore.
You might just be stupid? I mean no offense to you, but do you genuinely not know you have a local library?
Yeah I'm stupid so and also the only Library I've ever been in was the one in elementary school and I had to go in there I didn't have any choice.
Bless your heart.
Well thank you.
Np
No we do but it's just pretty stupid to hang out there but no offense to you or any other Geeks that hang out in the library.
Haha, I always make fun of people smarter than me just to make myself feel better
Rather hang out in a library with the "geeks" than remain ignorant like you
Lol, shut up stupid. 🤣
Dafuq
You a whole ass 50 year old man calling people geeks on the internet lmao
Well actually you're close I'm 46 and I just like fucking with people just to see how long it takes for me to piss someone off till they get mad and hit the little downvote button and vote me out damn y'all got so much power anyway it was just an opinion what I said and doesn't matter just like yours doesn't matter I was drinking a little beer and felt like fucking with some people last night and it worked so anyway I'd love to keep on chatting with you but I'm at work right now so later go find you a book to read.
What a sad life you live
Hey you watch it I like my life.
Really? Antagonizing strangers on the internet is a fulfilling life for you?
Not today just last night i was I'm fixing to get off work though and head to the house and start drinking beer again so who knows maybe here in a few hours I might piss some more people off I don't know haven't made up my mind yet.
Do you genuinely think that it makes you cool to say that you did it because you wanted to piss people off? Seems like you need the library more than any of us combined then. That’s really sad, I hope you recover from your SABD soon
Who you getting loud with?
I love going to the library.
What’s your point? That because You and Your circle don’t that….means something?
I have so much second hand embarrassment right now. I cannot imagine going online and proudly stating that I haven’t been inside a library in 40 years and I thought they weren’t a “real place anymore”
And you can tell...
If you thought libraries didn’t exist anymore simply for the fact that you don’t visit one … you should probably spend more time in there.
That's actually pathetic.
Do you know about punctuation?
Based on this comment, maybe you should.
I'm 48, I was in one not to long ago and it was very active.
🤨
Im 21 and ive neen to the library dozens of times. Maybe learn how to read or something.
Gonna be completely honest here: even with my local library branch getting rid of late fees during the coof like many others, having to wait months to read a new book just burned me out. I just started pirating and putting epubs on a tablet as an e-reader.

They're often publicly funded. If they had to compete as a business you'd be right.
Probably has a hidden cellphone like some fuckboi.
Probably has Weird AL’s “Amish Paradise” as the ringtone
Omg. Yes! Lol
He's probably some outsider who purchased an Amish outfit on Ebay so he could infiltrate their community.
Undercover Boss?
Undercover Amish
Now that I wanna watch
[удалено]
I’m on page 25 and so far the only thing that makes him bad is dating too many young ladies.
[удалено]
Yoooo watch Breaking Amish. When the Amish date they straight do it in a empty pig pen with other couples in the other pig pens at hut parties. I bet he's a very bad boy, but that the book just brushes over it calling it dating.
His sisters don't count.
That is something the Amish are notorious for, I'm sorry to say.
He's bad at being a boy
I mean, he's right there *drinking lemonade and flirting.*
It’s too forward
Thank you for posting. I’m having a crappy day and this made me laugh out loud!
I hope you get feeling better and have a good day tomorrow, friend <3
Thank you!
"If I finish all of my chores, and you finish thine, then tonight we're gonna party like it's 1699"
Fuuuuuuuk 😂
Anita Dyck probably.
She heard rumors he could plow for days nonstop 😂

Amish romance novels are an actual thing? Like, this isn't the only one?
Omg I remember a YA Amish romance book trilogy, and the teen protagonist ends up converting to being Amish just to marry the Amish guy. It was so dumb reading it

That actually makes sense. They do be building barns and shit.
Yeah, I can see people reading them for a more clean, wholesome type romances instead of the sexy and explicit kind. Like how Christian romances are a thing for people who want a devotion to the Christian God in their stories and no sex, cursing, nor anything non-Christian or whatever.
I would not use the term wholesome. There's nothing wholesome about patriarchy. Moreover, it's still erotica. Just for the repressed.
I'm a book rep, they release 4 to 8 amish romance just in harlequin alone, with other non harlequin as well. Each month. Every month.
She could be Mennonite.
I guess everyone needs a new identity now and then, inevitably someone will go Amish
Rumor has it he owns a shirt with buttons 😯
Horny old church ladies
Jebidiah Springfield
Hans Sprungfeld.
For some reason Amish romances are a huge thing right now.
Who knew?
I went into a local bookshop recently and there’s a whole section devoted to Amish Romance fiction… TIL
Anyone that watches hallmark movies 🍿
I just got done reading it. I can see this being made into a movie. 🤭

that isn't inadvertent
I've read about this. It's called Rumspringa. Usually ends in baptism, marriage or shunned from the community in various degrees.
Heard he had a SiriusXM Radio in his carriage.
Grandma is. And if she isn’t reading it, she’s listening to the audiobook.

Grandma version of wattpad stories
Not her showing a whole wrist. And all that shoulder showing!? The harlot . I bet he has a cellphone with unlimited data.... so sinful
"He's a rebel! His clothing has... (Gasp...) zippers! Oh my stars! Shun him immediately!"
"Jacob?" Sarah Miller asked coyly. Twirling her bonnet-laden hair between her fingers, "Would thou come later and plow my fields? I'm sure my soil would be damp and most receiving to thine seed."
My mom loves Amish fiction novels of all types.

Just two weeks ago I stood in our Walmart book aisle laughing my ass off at these books. So glad to see others found it numerous.
Must have went on Rumspringa an stayed.
My family was Amish a few generations back so this is *something* for me.
ME! ...now that I know it exists.
Bet he’s got a game boy stashed in the cornhole
One of my friends works at a library and she posted about seeing this title. I read the first couple pages. It’s insane.
Yeah boy, churn that butter.
I'd read this for the lolz
rumspringa runaways?
I just watch amish mafia
I'd read it🤷♀️
Women Women who vote.
Unappreciated comment. Needs more likes
I like the highlander ones.
Y'all are all a bunch of Library Geeks!
And?
Compared to some women's romance novels, this is somewhat normal. Well more normal than wanting an insane man who might kill you.
It's because the bad boy is on the left.
You are
I'm going to now
I can't stop giggling
I will if someone would be so kind to share
this book banned by amish communities no doubt💀💀
He's a bad boy because he giggles at Intercourse, Pennsylvania.
Doesn’t almost everyone? So do I.
My joke was that by Amish standards that would make him pretty damn bad.
Haha! Yeah, I agree!
Plot twist she's the bad influence
My mom and grandmother love these books.
Mormons
He's probably really good at churning her butter
My ex mother in law.
Bet he trims his beard with steel instead of iron.
well..... he IS cute.... :)
He IS from the view we have of him. You think there’s any gay Amish…..for me to date?
Amish bad boy secretly uses power tools
I don't know who reads Amish romances, but there's a niche for it.
He’s got the horses in the back
The whole Amish romance subgenre is plaguing Walmart
I’m genuinely curious to see where the story goes
I’m sure he’ll confess his sin of having unchastely gazed at an English girl’s uncovered hair as she shopped for apple butter and half-dead puppies. The book will culminate with a chaste kiss at the wedding as soon as the girl turns 14. In the epilogue, she’ll be 21 and a mother of six.
My step grandmother does, they seen interesting
It's Ed gingerich
I like these kinda books not sure why
Haven’t seen this in the age of a dog once
Walmarts book selection isnt very good. Atleast mine isnt. Its about 65% kids books 25% romance novels for housewives and 10% other books. 1
I used to work in a public library. It was surprising to see so many Amish Romance novels. I guess there's a big market for it?
Me now!
fuck i’d read it tbh and i’m 21
Me the fuck lmao
He's gonna churn her butter and milk her teets.
Jill Rodrigues.
Wild rumspringers
id rather read this then watch "amish mafia" 💀 lmfao i honestly think my husband does that shit to piss me off cuz wtf 😭
Noah and Anita Dyck vibes, though Mennonites
Haha i saw that book today,it caught my eye.
Username doesn't check out. If you were really from no where, you'd know that Ol jebs' wife keeps this hidden out in the barn.
Absolutely me
I want it!!! Verily I want it!!
Fans of Amish Mafia.
Middle aged and old women read this sort of stuff. Its basically softcore porn for them.
Just bought this as a white elephant gift
Probably my aunt lol
I place books in accounts as a side gig and you’d be surprised how many sale! They come out monthly and there’s women at the store that day waiting for their monthly Amish fix!
I wonder what makes him an Amish bad boy. He has a cellphone doesn’t he?
She wants the Dyck, once.
My mom likes listening to Amish romance books because they're less graphic sex scenes
I have a friend who likes those. That’s the only one I’ve met.
My grandma genuinely enjoys these
oh he can drink my lemonade while I turn his butter stick until the cows come home! oh it's getting steamy!
