I've heard people raving about the audio-books and the books in general for this series. But, I couldn't get into it. It does have a great main character but I found myself bored through most of it. Precious Ramostwe has a rough life in the past. To get away from it and to help other she decides ...
I have confession to make; I never read Jane Austen Emma. I know, it sad is not it, especially since I have read her Pride and Prejudice multiple time. When I saw this in the library, I decide to read it and along with original version of Emma.How I feel about this book, it well written but not a ve...
La’s Orchestra Saves the World by Alexander McCall Smith ★★★★ La (Lavender) goes to Oxford with no intention of being married before her late 20s, but ends up romanced, in love, married and then abandoned by her husband. Her inlaws, displeased with their son’s actions, kind and honest people...
I was a little undecided about this one. While it has a good story, it also has a lot of self reflection in it. Possibly a little too much.

Ramotswe is one interesting character. Tough, caring, intelligent and humorous. While this story is not what I expected, I still overall enjoyed it. The cultural change was an interesting viewpoint. And there is a distinct voice to this story.However, it was not what I was expecting. I wanted m...
I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads. I wanted to like this book, I really, really did...but...it failed. McCall Smith attempts to transport Emma into modern times and the whole thing feels kind of forced. The language for one, is not reflective of modern times, it still reads...
Brilliant, delightful and now my favorite Alexander McCall Smith book. His analysis of the truth and description of Africa are gentle and fun, making the reader linger. The shoes of Mma. Makutsi have a new feature. My favorite quote: “I promise to share all my worldly goods-including ...
The adventures and misadventures of the characters from the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency continue. Another case of grassroots detective work. The entire series is delightful and I look forward to each new installment. Being 15 books into the series, it is with fondness that I read about the develo...
