Welcome to Litsy!

Tried and gave up on the tagged book - it wasn't for me.
Cooked seswaa (pulled beef) & Bogobe jwa lerotse, a porridge made with sorghum (or in my case, cornmeal, after I realised my sorghum meal had gone off 🙁) & lerotse melon, a cooking, non-sweet melon. Wholesome but I have to admit #Botswana's national dish was a bit too plain for my taste, which it might not be if you're using local Setswana ingredients😊

This was the first of two audiobooks I had for my drive, chosen because I knew it would be comforting to spend the time with characters I know well.

I always chuckle at the little mundane conversations that get silly and twisted because of different personalities and opinions. A great way to spend a day in the car.

No 1 Ladies Detective Agency BINGO CARD 🤣

I enjoyed this one (book 18), but I have to be careful not to read several of these in a row! The formula gets to be a bit much after two or three back to back!

My current comfort read! This one is so touching and tender.

Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings

I love this series. The writing is reminiscent of a simpler, gentler tone. The characters and plots work together seamlessly. No foulness, just excellent story telling about a female detective in Botswana.

This series is the audiobook version of comfort food for me. I love Lisette Lecat‘s narration.

So happy to have a few moments to spend with Mma Ramotswe before work this morning. I hope to channel her calming influence all day😚

Back on track this week with 5 books finished, although 2 or 3 short ones in there.

Loved this book and think it was one of the best in the series so far, despite being book 18 in the series. This was quite an emotional book, and was quite a roller coaster journey for Mma Ramotswe, and at one point left me with tears in my eyes. Can only rate this one as five stars, great book and I wait impatiently for the next one to be published in November.

Starting the latest in the No.1 Ladies Detective Agency, Book 18 in this delightful series. Love spending time in Botswana Mma Ramotswe.

“Mma Makutsi laughed. “You men,” she said. “Your time is up, I‘m afraid. All the big jobs are going to be done by women soon. You just watch out-the women are coming!” (page 123)😂 #1ladiesdetectiveagency

These stories are so interesting and I find them good for my soul. I enjoy how Precious Ramotswe deals with the questions, mysteries and her employees with patience and kindness.

This chapter title tickled me.

Lovely story! And great reading weather! Happy thanksgiving 🦃 all!!!

My West African Bush Dog and I love reading No. 1 Ladies‘ Detective Agency novels. Alexander McCall Smith writes of Africa from his heart. ❤️

Love this series Precious Ramotswe💕💐

Another lovely addition to this most delightful series.

Kindness wins.

Always.

Mma Ramotswe watches a lizard moving along the bark of a tree:

“Most of the time we did not notice such things because it was our own business that we were concerned with, and our hearts were not large enough for things that were so much smaller than we are.”

Hello!

I‘ve missed you all the last few days.

I‘ve been plugging on with Barnaby Rudge but now I need a break.

Time for some coffee with Mma Ramotswe.

Look what I found at my local library! I think it was only published a couple of weeks ago.
