“And the memory made her humble; for we should not forget what it is to be young and to have ideas and attitudes that may later seem so fanciful.”

“Mma Ramotswe did not like lying, but sometimes it was necessary, particularly when faced with people who were promoted beyond their talents.”

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 👠

#5JoysFriday on Saturday! @DebinHawaii
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.
