Not a bad story! Liked seeing Bethanne's journey and moving on from her husband! Like the fact even more that laterOn in the series when he comes crawling back she chooses a better man. But, and it may be an unpopular opinion, I thought Lydia's and Brad's story was a joke! He was an asshole to her! The whole he forgave his ex and left the woman he loved and supported through cancer, to make his son happy was ridiculous on so many levels. Lydia surviving cancer showed them how precious life was a...

Knitters everywhere will find themselves yet again drawn in to the life and yarn shop of Lydia Hoffman, owner of "A Good Yarn", as she meets three new women from various stages of life who have signed up for her sock knitting class. The perspective of life experience from each of these three women and their families enriches the reader's desire to be more understanding and find out more about people before judging them. You never k...
Another excellent book by Debbie Macomber.
A couple of years ago I saw a Blossom Street book in a bag of books that had been delivered to my Grandmother from the library. For some reason the author (Macomber) and the cover stayed in my head. When my grandmother passed away last year, I read one of the latter books in this series to feel closer to her. I really enjoyed that book (Summer on Blossom Street).Because I enjoyed that book, I have decided to go back and read the entire series (reading A Good Yard yesterday, as it was the one yea...
Great easy read. Good story. Light and entertaining tale of the lives of several very different woman who are joined together by a knitting class.
Second read: 4 stars!Very enjoyable. Really loving this series. More likeable characters and good storylines. On to Book #3!
I enjoyed this second installment in the Blossom Street series even more than the first. Debbie Macomber's characters feel like real women to me. I can see each one of them and I'd love to know them. She makes you feel like you could stroll right into that yarn shop and you'd be met with a group of women who'd say, "Lisa! We've been waiting for you!". It's like the Cheers of the female middle-aged reading set. And that's my set! I can't wait to continue with this series. It just gives me such a
Inkvotary3,5 starsLydia is stunned when she hears from her fiancé that he breaks up with her only because his ex is coming back and wants a second chance. She is shocked, feels disappointed and has no other way then to tell him what his ex´ really wants. And with her sister Margaret things aren´t easy too. Something is weighing down on her sister, but unlike other siblings, they can´t talk with each other about it. A fact that makes Lydia very sad.I couldn´t help but ask myself from time to time...
I loved this book, as I did "The Shop On Blossom Street" which is the book that precedes this one. Its a very sweet read and lots of fun. I'm looking forward to her next book, "Susannah's Garden" which should be out about now. Debbie writes wonderful books.
Sometimes the most enriching relationships you will have are right under your nose or found in situations and places you would not suspect.
A Good Yarn is a tired and cliched book about feelings. The fact that many people want their characters to do well in poorly written books indicates that a mint can be made on anything that reassures rather than reveals. Debbie Macomber provides easy answers rather than answering the difficult questions her characters ask throughout the book.People who cannot survive the genre transfusion that occurs often when middle aged readers dive into YA literature, turn to books like this. Comforting, fam...
The Debbie Macomber "Blossom Street" books aren't the type of books that will change your life. But what they are is a very sweet, nice read that will make you feel good. Sort of in an "aww..that's so sweet and life is good" kind of way.These books revolve around a yarn shop in Seattle and highlight the lives of the women who take knitting classes there. Being a knitter myself, I like reading books that involve knitting. I can instantly relate to the characters. The characters in the books each
What a wonderfully enjoyable story. Macomber had me crying like a baby and laughing real belly laughs in turn. The intertwining tales throughout created a complex plot that kept me thoroughly captivated. It was so real and realistic. I love how Macomber can examine situations from every side without breaking the flow of the story. Macomber doesn’t simply tell you a story about her characters; she invites you into their lives through the pages of her novel. Each one came to life in a different wa...
Another fantastic book from Debbie. :)

I really like this author. She follows several main charachters and their life and problems in each book. They become your friends and you want all to turn out well for them in the end.
Couldn't get into this one
I don't often read romance novels because I generally find them unsatisfying *cough cough* hense the rating *cough*. However I find Debbie Macomber's stories to always be a treat when I feel mentally exhausted, down or when I just don't have the brain space for something more thorough.See this story of women (and a younger girl) finding friendship around a knitting group and helping each other to turn their life around and get over a hard patch was so heartwarming, there's no denying that. Howev...

I keep reading Macomber series out of order. The nice thing is, even though that means I know a bit about what happens later, they're still quite enjoyable. This one was no exception, although I do have two fairly large nits to pick:1) 25-35 pounds can feel like a lot of weight, especially to a shy, awkward teenager. But good golly, THAT big a deal? A difference of three dress sizes? And why couldn't we decide which it was -- 25 or 35?2) Either he's addicted to gambling, which is a Bad Thing, or...
