This is the second book in The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series by Alexander McCall Smith. I read the first book earlier this year and enjoyed it very much. A light-hearted mystery like this was perfect for the late night hours of the read-a-thon.
In this book, Mma Ramotswe gets more cases and a very big surprise from her fiancé. She continues to solve them in her own unique way, and the “surprise” might just be enough to change her mind about him. I definitely plan on continuing this series when I need a break from more serious reading. A very fun, light mystery series.

I read this during the read-a-thon in the late night hours, and it was a perfect fit. I love Lois Lowry. I haven’t found a book yet by her that I didn’t like, and she is the author I’ve read the most of this year.
This is a tale about dream-givers, nightmare-givers, a little boy, his mother, a puppy, and an older female caretaker. It’s difficult to say more without spoilers so I’ll leave it at that. It was a wonderful book.

Wow, I can’t wait for this to “open.” It’s run by the paperbackswap people, so I bet it’ll be great.

Just thought some might be interested in these deals I saw at Amazon. Go to the Bargain Books section to see more. I almost bought the Fitzgerald set, then checked my bookshelves and already had 2 titles. Peace Like a River is a very good book that I read earlier this year. I want to read Dead Father’s Club, but I may just get it from the library. Anyway, just an FYI.
Peace Like a River by Leif Enger $2.99
Dead Father’s Club $4.99
3 book set by Penelope Fitzgerald $7.99
