Even though I have only read one other book in the Blossom Street series, I wanted to read this one for my reading challenge, and I was pleased to find that I was able to enjoy it without reading all of the series before it. This is a very sweet story of love, friendship, and family. I like how the idea for the twenty wishes started and am thinking about writing my own twenty wish list.

Ich habe die anderen Blossom Street Bücher bereits gelesen, und dies ist eines der besseren, finde ich. Die vorherigen Charaktere tauchen- am Rande- wieder auf, Stricken kommt nur am Rand vor. Aber trotzdem eine nette, kitschig-cozy-ge Geschichte. Werde wohl noch mehr aus der Reihe lesen.

Overall I enjoyed the story, lighthearted and easy to get into. Some parts were a bit too cheesy for my liking (Barbie and mark) but all the couples were likeable.

This book was recommended to me by my grandmother with a list of other books and I was hesitant as to whether or not I'd like it. I was hooked from the beginning of this book. I was able to complete this book in two days. If you're looking for a quick read this book is perfect! It follows the lives of these ladies who made a list of twenty wishes on Valentines Day that they wanted to complete in their lifetime. It had things as simple as a pair of cowboy boots to more difficult things such as finding out who one'e father is. The book had me smiling in some parts and my heartbreaking in other chapters. I connected with these characters and definitely want to read more of the books. This book is worth reading and I'm adding the author to my list of favorites.

This was a really lovely book which introduced a new set of characters to Blossom Street. Anne Marie Roche owns Blossom Street Books and is a widow. She has made friends with three other widows, and they are meeting up on Valentine's Day to have their own celebration. There is Lillie Higgins and her daughter Barbie, who both lost their husbands in a plane crash. Elise Beaumont is the fourth member of the group after she lost her husband Maverick. The women decide that maybe a way to cheer themselves up would be to write a list of Twenty Wishes. These lists bring more into any of their lives than they could have hoped.

A nice light read set in Seattle, Twenty Wishes (Blossom Street #5) by Debbie Macomber has some great takeaways. I have not read all the books in the series so looking forward to reading more, as playing catch up with the Cedar Cove series, as well.
A group of widowed women come together on Valentine's Day, to create a list of items (similar to a bucket list). Each woman has a story and needs to be fulfilled. As each of them begin their list, they think unrealistic; however, as time goes on the items on the list became closer to their wishes, but not necessarily in the way they expected. The audiobook was nice read by Tanya Eby Sirois.
