What does that mean to you? When I saw the book title I thought, that sounds like a cute and quick read. The book is one by Debbie Macomber who is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite authors. She captures women’s hearts like no one else. Except maybe Barbara Delinsky, but I still think Debbie is better!
So I start to read the book and it starts out much the same as her others. All of the books involve women, thier families and their friends. But the particular series that has me wowed is called the Blossom Street series. The women periodically change from book to book, but they all have something to do with the stores and restaurants on Blossom Street. There are many instances where previous characters creep into the current book and I love that!
Anyway, back to the twenty wishes. These women got together and decided to compile a list of twent wishes they had always had. These were not to be resolutions or goals, simply somthing they had always longed to do. As you can guess many things happen to these women through out the course of the book and their lives become more entertwined as the pages turn. They share a deep bond and I think only women can relate to that kind of bond. I won’t go into detail about the wishes, because I think you should read the book and find out for yourself, but I will say that the list becomes contagious and each person that hears about it wants to start their own. And one of those people is me!
I am going to compile a list of twenty wishes and blog about them. With the impending birth of my son I may get side tracked once in awhile, but I am hoping to blog everyday. That is a goal not a wish!
I hope you will enjoy the ride with me as I discover what it is that I have always wanted to do! Visit my Twenty Wishes page frequently to find out how it’s going.
