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! 4mo

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?! 😍

This is the second Wagamese novel I‘ve read and I‘ve loved both. A story about homeless people winning the lottery could easily tip into cheesiness but this is a beautiful and empathetic story of people who are often unseen. Each character was whole and real and I teared up several times. It is a very human book. As the novel progresses we learn each characters back story and how they ended up unhoused and how they cope with newfound luck

merelybookish One of those authors I keen meaning to read! 2y

Blaire @merelybookish I really liked this one and loved

Indian Horse

Tianarose @Prairiegirl_reading awesome! I discovered him about a year ago. Started with starlight and medicine man. I think I‘ve read a couple more but would have to check. 3y

1. I LOVED the tagged book. I had never heard of it before someone in my irl book club suggested it. It‘s definitely a favourite of this year and also on my all-time favourites.
2. We‘ve had many great discussions. I think Water for Elephants was a good one. A book none of really liked but the discussion was great was Fishbowl. I would recommend The 57 Bus because it has so many interesting aspects for discussion.
