Another comfort read in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Series. There are times Mma Makutsi drives me up a wall, but she always redeems herself in the end…

1st finish for #20in4

Andrew65 Love this series, well done 👏👏👏 2y

For the #miracles prompt of #wishesandblessings I'm going with this installment of No 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Not Christmasy at all but this series is very cozy. 😁

A comforting #audiolisten. I love listening to this series. It‘s like a warm blanket and a warm drink on a cold day.

Ruthiella Perfect description for this series! 3y

A comfort read for these times we are going through. Familiar characters and cozy mysteries. Nice escape.

This will be the last book I finish this year. I always enjoy checking in with my friends Mma Romotswe and Mr JLB Matakoni. This was a reread, as I continue with my revisiting of all the No1 Ladies Detective Agency Series. A nice way to finish the year 😊

(Of course I will read more this evening, 😉)

Holiday decorations will come down in the morning, so I wanted one last photo with the cards.

My current reads are Miracle at Speedy Motors and An Absolutely Remarkable Thing, both of which I may finish by tomorrow evening.

Next up will be Us Against You for January‘s #AuthorAMonth and America For Beginners for one of my bookclubs, but I‘m not sure which order I‘ll read them in. It‘s time for a new audiobook too. I have no idea where I‘ll go with that!

At around 12 hours for #24b42020!

Andrew65 A good time. Loved Us Against You, and can‘t go wrong with Mma Ramotswe! 👏👏👏 (edited) 5y
Suet624 I really liked America for Beginners. 5y

#don'tstopbelievin #rockinmay. Take a trip to Botswana and meet the no.1 lady detective, Mma Ramotswe . Have a cup of bush tea and admire Mma Makutsi's typing skills. Perhaps rent a car at Speedy Motors and meet Mr. JLB Maketoni.

Cinfhen I've never read this series but I know it's quite popular 💕 8y
Liatrek This is a great series 😊 The characters are great and I love learning about life in Botswana. 8y

Dragon Thanks @Liatrek totally agree with you 😀 8y
Cinfhen I haven't gotten into the cozy mystery genre 😌not sure why... 8y
Dragon Thanks @Cinfhen I don't read a lot of cozy mystery books, but every so often I want something light that's not a romance. 😀 These books in particular, are rather charming. 8y
Cinfhen That's true! I'll keep them in mind ~ thanks 😊 8y

@Cinfhen it's a #longlongwayfromhome! I actually live closer to Bournemouth airport but chose London as they are more likely to fly to Botswana 😂! This book is also on my #tbr for @bookriot's challenge, set 5000 miles away!

Libby1 This one, along with the whole series, is lovely! 8y

Of the 17 books in Alexander McCall Smith's #1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series I've read 16; I own 7. The Miracle at Speedy Motors Is autographed from my time meeting the author 8 years ago. Always a pleasure to read❣️Pictured here with a cup of herbal red bush tea with cranberry and orange, called "African Autumn." I'm looking forward to reading Precious and Grace❣️#PreciousandGrace #AlexanderMcCallSmith #TheMiracleatSpeedyMotors #teaandbooks

WhatDeeReads I've only read one, but I own the first eight. Hopefully, next year I'll have some time to really just dig in. 8y
Buddys_Momma I have read the first book in that series and cannot wait to get to the other ones. 8y
slhbooks Love these! Have all of them except the most recent. 8y

8leagueboot I think I need that tea in my life 🍁 8y
Lesliereads @NorthEastofEden yes! Now is the season for this tea blend -yum 8y
Donna_sBookMinute I remember reading N1LDA years ago. It was okay. But the fact that I've continued to add Smith titles to my library is an indicator that I wish to give him another chance. I discovered Harvey Brothers teas a few years ago. I'll have to give African Autumn a try. Welcome to @Litsy ❗️📚👍🏾 8y
Lesliereads @Donna_sBookMinute Thank you for the welcome❣️The only thing you neglected to mention was your favorite of the HB teas! 8y
