Summer on Blossom Street

Blossom Street, Book 6

By: Debbie Macomber

Narrated by: Delilah

Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins

Publisher's summary

Knitting and life. They're both about beginnings - and endings. That's why it makes sense for Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle's Blossom Street, to offer a class called Knit to Quit. It's for people who want to quit something - or someone! - and start a new phase of their lives.

First to join is Phoebe Rylander. She recently ended her engagement to a man who doesn't know the meaning of faithful, and she's trying to get over him. Then there's Alix Turner. She and her husband, Jordan, want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the class because he needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family's business - not to mention the lawsuit brought against him by an unscrupulous lawyer.

Life can be as complicated as a knitting pattern. Just ask Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, finally have the happiness they wished for. And then a stranger comes to her bookstore asking questions.

Or ask Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her increasingly frail mother, but she and Brad have unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant 12-year-old.

But as Lydia already knows, when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled, your friends can always help!

Sorry reader seem like she was racing through the story

I had turn the speed down twice. But still to fast. So many times I had to go back over tape to hear what was said again in order to catch it.

Another wonderful installment

It took a little bit for me to get used to Delilah’s narrating but it was a wonderful story, and I’m about to start the next book in the series

All around great story.

I didn't really care for Delilah reading this book. She was "over-acting." I like to listen to someone who feels the emotions in the characters being read about.

wonderful story, wonderful reader

I have been a listener of Delilah for years on the radio and it was wonderful to hear her lovely voice reading this fantastic story. I had no idea that she read audio books for us. I will look for more of her readings, just as I look forward to more books in the Blossom Street series

love the story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The story was good but I hated the www adds at the beginning of every chapter. This had been very distracting to the story. Over all its was a good story.

What did you like best about this story?

The end had been very satisfying.

Which character – as performed by Delilah – was your favorite?

Casey

Could you see Summer on Blossom Street being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes it would be a good series. I don't know who could do it.

Blossom Street

Altho I Loved the book, Deligha Stunk! she used her own words when reading. Liked the book

Horrible narration, decent story

I enjoyed the book for the most part, not a lot happened so it wasn't very exciting. I stitched whilst listening and that was perfect, you definitely need to be doing something else when listening. If I would solely be listening with nothing else to do I don't think I would have made it through the book. Delilah's voice does not translate well to an audiobook, it is too sugary and made me cringe at times.

I am a big fan of Debbie Macomber and this was my least favorite book of her to date.

Summer on Blossom Street

Great story. I don’t care for the reader. She has far too much excitement in her voice for every day conversation. Sometimes run on sentences. Cody and I were planning to go riding but the weather turned sour I decided to knit instead and asked if Alie wanted to join me at the coffee shop Brad and Cody were thinking it was going to be a lovely day but I wasn’t sure The day started off bitter but brightened as did my mood. There are natural pauses in the paperback copy of this book but Delilah didn’t always use them. Her tone was quite annoying. She’s a great radio host but I didn’t care for her reading this book. The store was a classic Debbie Macomber, enjoyable and satisfying to the end. Just preferred a different reader.

Another great story

I always enjoy Debbie Macomber. Maybe some of the outcomes are predictable, but she has a nice way of bringing a story together. The best thing about this book is Delilah, the narrator. She speaks with a smile in her voice, and is perfect for Macomber books. Looking forward to the next installment of life on Blossom Street!

best one by far

Haven't read all of the series, but this one is the best so far. Can't wait for the next book.
