About this ebook

What do you want most in the world?

What Anne Marie Roche wants is to find happiness again. At thirty-eight, 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 hope. They each begin a list of twenty wishes--things they always wanted to do but never did.

Anne Marie's list includes learning to knit, falling in love again, doing good for someone else. When she volunteers at a local school, an eight-year-old girl named Ellen enters her life. It's a relationship that becomes far more involving--and far more important--than Anne Marie had ever imagined.

As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list of twenty wishes, they both learn that wishes can come true-- but not necessarily in the way you expect.

    If you could have twenty wishes, what would you wish for? It’s not as easy as it would seem at first glance. Should you wish for material things or is that too greedy? Do you want to improve the quality your life? Maybe your wishes should include the needs of others. Anyway, be careful what you wish for – it might come true! And wishes do come true for the widows – and others – of Blossom Street, just not in the way they imagined. A story to make your heart happy, fans of Debbie Macomber will enjoy this trip to Blossom Street.

    After the death of her husband and childless, 38 year old Anne Marie Roche feels lonely and yearns to be happy again. On Valentine's Day she decides to get together with other widows (Elise Beaumont, Lillie Higgins, and Barbie Foster) so none of them will be alone that day. They each decide to make a list of twenty wishes - things they always wanted to do but never did. All of them take their wishes seriously and all will discover that wishes can come true, but not always in the way you expect. Debbie Macomber is one of the best writers of sweet romance novels and "Twenty Wishes" is one of her best novels. She has created four enjoyable characters - Anne Marie, Elsie, Lillie, and Barbie - who are looking for love again and find it in the most unlikely of places. To mix things up a bit, Macomber throws in a cute little eight year old girl to show that love can happen in many different ways. Each character's story is sweet (although Elise does get shortchanged a bit) and will make you smile. My favorites were Lillie and her daughter Barbie's very unlikely romances. What Debbie Macomber does best is create very likable characters that you will care about. Her stories are very sweet with some kissing - sex is talked about (barely) but never detailed. The twenty wishes is a nice gimmick that helps move the book right along. Her writing isn't particularly deep - the characters barely have any flaws - even eight year old Ellen, who has had so many bad things happen in her life that you think she would act out at least once but never does - and Macomber guarantees that everyone will have a happy ending. What makes Macomber's books so enjoyable is that she is a gifted storyteller who knows how to create fairy tales for adults that are guaranteed to keep a smile on your face. "Twenty Wishes" is part of Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street series. The other books in the series are: The Shop on Blossom Street (Blossom Street, No. 1) A Good Yarn (Blossom Street, No. 2) Susannah's Garden Back on Blossom Street (Blossom Street, No. 3) Enjoy!

    This was another pleasant visit to Blossom Street, and this time the focus was on Ann Marie, the owner of the book store. At 38, she is not happy with her life...widowed with no children and seeming to have no focus or enjoyment in life. Then she decides to join with some friends in writing down some twenty wishes that they want to do in their lifetimes. One of her wishes is to do something to help someone else, and because of that wish, she volunteers in an elementary school and meets up with Ellen. Slowly, Ellen begins to find her way into Ann Marie's heart, and Ann Marie begins to see life differently. All in all, this was a feel-good novel emphasizing the importance of relationships and helping others.

    As always I very much enjoyed this book, another fabulous in the Blossom Street series. I finished the book in 2 days, I couldn't put it down! I just had to know how these women fared in their quest of goals for the twenty wishes. I am not a knitter but you don't have to be to fall in love with her books.

    Debbie Macomber has done it again. She captured my heart and got me crying before the end of the book. I always seem to be able to pick up on where she is going but can't put the book down until I get there at the end.Four widows get together and decide to make lists of twenty wishes of goals, wants, needs or whimsical things. The journey to find their desires isn't easy but then their lives haven't been easy to this point either and life always has a way of coming around to what is really needed in the end.

    Fourth and most recent in the Blossom Street series, this one follows a group of widows as they make Twenty Wishes and see their lives change because of it. Thankfully, the book centers on their wishes and *not* on grief and recovery (like so many books about knitting and widows do)! My only sadness is that there's very little about knitting in this one -- no knitting pattern, either, which should have been a clue about the lack of knitting content.

    I really enjoyed this book. I have not read any other of the Blossom Street books and I had no problem. This book stood alone. I plan to read more of her books in the near future. This book made me think about making my own list of twenty wishes. I loved all of the characters and I am glad that it had a happy ending.

    This is the fourth book in the Blossom Street series by prolific author Debbie Macomber. The series began with The Shop on Blossom Street and continued with A Good Yarn and Back on Blossom Street. I was first intrigued by the series because of the knitting connection. Just like I love to read books about books, I also love to read books that have references to knitting. I'm not a master knitter by any stretch of the imagination, but I do love to knit. I've read and enjoyed each of the books in the series. They are light, fun, quick reads with a little more depth to them than many books in the same category. I have to admit that I was just a little disappointed in this latest installment. Lydia, the yarn store owner from the first couple books, barely made an appearance at all. In fact, the characters from the first several books were mentioned in passing but were not the main characters for this book. Instead of the series being focused on Lydia and the yarn store, it seems that Macomber is introducing a new store owner from Blossom Street with each new book. This is not really a criticism but more a misunderstanding on my part from what I thought the series was going to be.In this book, we meet Anne Marie who owns a bookstore on Blossom Street. She's 38 years old and recently widowed. She'd married a much older man who had a family from a previous marriage. At the time of their marriage, Anne Marie didn't think that would be a problem for her. However, as the years passed she found herself desperately wanting to become a mother. She's now dealing with the death of her husband and trying to come to terms with the fact that she'll probably never have a child of her own.The title of the book comes out of a Valentine's Day party held at the bookstore for several of her friends who are also widows. Though they come from different backgrounds and lifestyles, the women share the fact that they're all recently widowed. As each woman struggles to come to terms with her situation, they decide that they'll each make a list of twenty wishes -- not goals, but simply wishes. This was a way to rejoin the world of the living and look towards the future. I was actually intrigued by the idea of making a list of wishes. We all have things that we would love to be able to do at some point in our lives. I haven't actually started a list, but I have thought about a few things that I might include, such as going to Scotland. I dont' know if it'll ever happen, but it's nice to think about anyway.As I said earlier, I enjoyed the book but was a little disappointed that there were few references to knitting and that so many new characters are introduced with few appearances from characters from previous books. Many of the individual story lines in the book ended predictably, but I didn't mind that all that much. I guess I'll wait and see what happens when the next book is published, but I'm not sure that I'll continue reading this series at this point.

    Absolutely wonderful addition to the Blossom Street series. The new charecters in the bookstore, the return of old favorite characters, and the connections they make with each other. A group of ladies who have one thing in common, being a widow, set out to make the best of a Valentines Day alone. The idea of making a list of 20 wishes is joking tossed about, then they all decide to do that very thing. Debbie Macober is such a creative writter that is able to make each persons wishes real, warm and a must do. in the end, I felt like making my own list of 20 wishes as did several other people I know that read the book.Another great book by Debbie Macomber. Really anticipating the next of her books.

    Another goodie by Debbie Macomber. She always delivers a charming book about friends, loss, and overcoming the odds. Anne Marie is a recent widow, who found that her late husband had an affair. Lonely, Anne Marie and her circle of widows make 20 wishes, which begins a new life for all of them as the wishes become true.
