My second book by Wagamese and it certainly won‘t be my last. I loved this story about four people experiencing homelessness who win the lottery. We get to see their care for each other and how they touch the lives of those they encounter who at first see them as their circumstances and not as people. Their story is not really about sudden wealth, although that is part of it. It is about connection, compassion and the magic of sharing our stories.

Suet624 Apparently I already stacked this one. I‘ve yet to read a book by this author and I really want to! 2mo

You can count on Friedland for a great beach read!

Four adult siblings head to the Jersey Shore to pack up the family beach house ahead of their widower dad‘s move to Florida. Three of the siblings go in on a Powerball lottery ticket and win the jackpot, but it ends up creating more strife than joy. Be ready to suspend your disbelief to enjoy this lighthearted romp!

Slow pick since I liked this dad and his four grown siblings with their partners. However, it was a lot to get to know them before, during, and in the aftermath of a power ball lottery win. It became a superficial look addressing the conflicts in place and then how those issues played out after becoming buoyed by millions. I think this story would have benefitted by editing out a sibling thereby giving the pages to fewer conflicts.

69 Million Things I Hate About You was just too much and I still can‘t get it off my mind! Have you ever read a book where you just liked everything about it? The characters, the plot, the flow, the ending? There are scenes that still crack me up when they pop into my head.

My husband is not a reader (aside from hunting regs & articles 😄), however he fully supports the fact that reading is not enough for me, I need to own/write in my own copies. I'm a re-reader & like to revisit the best passages that I have underlined & annotated. Anyway, he did some early shopping for my birthday & came home with these. I'm so excited - I've had Ragged Company on my TBR for so long!! And how beautiful is that Embers cover?! 😍

Perry L. Crandall was the first character to pop into my head when I saw the #MellowCharacter prompt. This book was one of the sweetest stories and it never got the attention it should have when it came out (2007).
