Two more books, books 23 & 24 of the series, from the Houston bookstore Murder by the Book. I now only need three books to complete the series
“As they left the shop, Mma Ramotswe made amends and told Mma Makutsi that she really thought the blue shoes very beautiful. There was no point in disapproving of a purchase once the deed had been done.”
Mma Makutsi‘s weakness was colorful unusual shoes - it was her trademark 👠

1-read the newest Cash Blackbear mystery
2-a new Jenoff novel came to my attention for Mount TBR
3-finished the 25th book in the Botswana Ladies Detective Agency series; the 26th will be out later this year
4-the redbud trees are blooming (they are actually more pink than red)
5-May go to a free philharmonic concert this evening
pickThis book was a treat — a super fast paced sci-fi ghost story. Elements felt a little repetitive or all talk/no show, but so much of this was lyrically delicate, super descriptive body horror. This is the author‘s first novel - I‘m really excited to see where she goes from here.
This will likely be my last read of February and it‘s much denser than I was expecting. Think Nnedi Okorafor meets N.K. Jemisin meets The Handmaid‘s Tale.
so-so2.5/5 ⭐️
Just a so so for me. There seem to be fewer cases and lots of hints get dropped each book, but then they never get picked up again. I‘m going to take a little break from this series for a bit.
Photo on left is us 11 years ago, though currently his memories of us range between none and occasional haziness. We have essentially started over but in a beautiful way. At his living facility yesterday the activity director brought in fresh flowers/accessories and he made me a valentine bouquet 🩷🌹❤️
I‘m almost finished with book 5 of tagged series and it‘s delightful. Thanks to audiobooks 🎧

pick3/4⭐️ (Very Good) Read for January #bookspin number 17.
I still love the characters and the setting. The writing is not full of itself and fussy. I was a little disappointed that some storylines from the third book seemed to have been dropped. Hopefully they will get picked up later. Mma Ramotswe‘s cases weren‘t as interesting, but I appreciated getting to know more about Mma Makutsi.
