2.5/5 ⭐️
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.

With only one mystery to solve, most of this book 5 in the series is about Mma Ramotswe‘s feelings about her fiance Mr JLB Matekoni‘s failing to set a wedding date and his inability to stand up for himself. He faces the biggest fear of his life when he fails to say no when the orphan farm manager Mma Potokwane tells him he must jump from a plane with a parachute for a fundraiser. And it makes headline news in the Gabarone newspaper! ⬇️

The one truely nice thing about working in a library that‘s closed to the public - is that the books that you perfect order (to a ridiculous extent - I shelved them by series) stay in perfect order...
Another wonderful story in the series of The No. 1 Detective Agency. I do have to say that less mysteries were solved, and there was more to be done regarding ongoing character development and the answering of philosophical and day-by-day drama questions (I.E. how to get out of an uncomfortable arrangement and still not lose face?), but I think they are still important. #recentlyread #nospoilers #ladydetective
I love this series. I‘ve seen some call them cozy mysteries, but I think they‘re more a window into a quieter life in Botswana. Yes, it‘s about a detective agency, but in this book there‘s no real mystery. It‘s a story about a wonderful lady, her fiancé, and the amusing things that happen to her. I always feel good when I‘m reading them.
#LitsyWalkers, I got out for a walk before our forecasted rain arrived. Sietje hates stopping mid-Walk. ??
Another good addition to the Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency series. These are like comfort food, very soothing and calming. This also handles my #femaledetective prompt for #booked2019.
#literarydinnerparty Fiction characters or authors? And then I remembered AMS's gentle, generous heroine Mma Precious Ramotswe. For my literary dinner party I'm going to Botswana, where Mma Ramotswe will cook pumpkin stew for dinner, dessert will be Mma Potokwane's fruitcake with red bush tea, and maybe while Mma Makutsi expounds on life, I can bounce Itumelang Clovis Radiphuti on my knee (the only purring baby in Botswana). 🇧🇼
Another solid entry in the series. There's nothing riveting or too exciting about these stories, but they're so definitely relaxing and enjoyable.
Any #AlexanderMcCallSmith fans in the Litsy House? Here's 9 of them from our donor's collection. I should really get to this series at some point. Does the series get better as it goes along? #LitsyLovesLibraries
I love this series! #lyricalapril #africa
Oh the joy vacation reading time :-) I've finished two books already and debating what to read next from my holiday pile.
