Twenty Wishes by Debbie Macomber

I was invited to a book club meeting (YEAH) and during our tour of books at Target, one of the ladies asked me if I had ever read "Twenty Wishes" by Debbie Macomber. I hadn't but this weekend while I was fighting allergy's I wanted something "light" to read so I ordered it on my Kindle. I really enjoyed it.

"Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. At thirty-eight, her life's not what she'd expected - she's childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle's Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there's a feeling of emptiness.

On Valentine's Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate . . . what? Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did"

I enjoyed the book because Macomber introduces you to her characters in such a way that you become friends. - Plus, even though I was never widowed, I was alone after my divorce and I could understand many of the emotions - the ups and downs, these women were facing.

It's not a heavy read by any means but if your wanting to pick up something light - that won't take you long to read, I recommend "Twenty Wishes." Then, tell me if your inspired to make a list of wishes!!

I didn't start a list of wishes, but I did begin a list of things I would like to learn! I want to take a cooking class. Would love to learn how to Line Dance!!! I have always thought I would like to knit  (since I can't seem to crochet!)  Anyway, I just like lists so this book appealed to me! You may remember my other blog about my lists! you can read it H.E.R.E.

"The #1 New York Times bestselling author is best known for her ability to create compelling characters and bring their stories to life in her books. Drawing on her own experiences and observations, Debbie writes heartwarming tales about small-town life, home and family, enduring friendships and women who knit. Every book features the delightful sense of humor for which readers around the world clamor. Not bad for a woman who is dyslexic and didn't learn to read until she was in the fifth grade."
