a Wishlist tag. Enjoy!

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!

Arrived safely today. Thank you for allowing me to continue the saga of Mma Ramotswe and friends.

Mma Ramotswe accepts a case involving a woman who has amnesia. Meanwhile, Mma Makutsi has started her own business, a restaurant. And Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni must let go an employee from the garage due to decreased business.

Since NancyNova was so kind to send this my way, I'm glad to find another reader for this book. Trade with bethieb for How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming. Mailed 02/26/17.

Thank you ghir for this book from my wishlist! I've always enjoyed this series and will get to it soon.

Thanks again to ghir for sharing this book with me. As always I enjoyed the lives of Precious and all the people who surround her. There seemed to be a theme to the book this time. The situations were all about helping others and wishing that the kindness would spread across the whole world. What a lovely idea!

I'm sending this off to another fan of the series, ComradeCamper.

Happy reading!

It was a happy surprise to find this book in my mailbox this afternoon. That was quick! Thanks so much, bethieb.
Alexander McCall Smith is one of my favorite authors. Somehow I had neglected the No. 1 Ladies' Detective series for awhile, and just rediscovered Mma. Ramotswe, Rra. J.LB. Maketoni, and Mma. Makutsi last week. Our summer reading program began June 1 at my local library, so this book arrived at just the perfect time.

Sending a little honesty, common sense and kindness, in the form of Mma. Precious Ramotswe, to daffodil-2. After listening to the news today I felt the world could use a little more decency.

Enjoy, daffodil!

Received in the post today from Comrade Camper. Thanks very much. Can't wait to read it as I love this series of books. Thanks also for the bookmark, postcard and details of the Quilt Show in Waukesha. Don't think I'll be able to make that one but maybe next time??

I have two other bookcrossing friends who also love these books so this one will be well-read in Norfolk, UK.

REVIEW:- "How lovely to be back in Botswana and to read of the latest adventures of the detective agency ladies and their friends and colleagues. I laughed out loud for the first time on p 78 when reading about Mr. J. L. B. Matekoni practising "Pilates with cake" but by page 140 I was in tears as Charlie regretted his most recent bad behaviour. The story gently moved along, as I've come to expect, and came to a quite satisfying conclusion without being over-predictable I thought."

I am reserving the book for two of my bookcrossing friends who both also love this series of books.

This book will be travelling by post to my dear friend and fellow bookcrosser Lindashaul. I know she loves this series of books. I will ask her to return it to me in due course so I can pass it to Snoopy56.

To the finder:-
Welcome to bookcrossing -you have found a travelling book. Please make a journal entry now to say where you found the book in case it has been moved. Then, when you have read it, please come back and make a further entry saying whether or not you enjoyed the book and why. It is now yours to do as you like with it, pass it to a friend or just leave it somewhere different for someone else to find and help it with its' journey. Of course if you can't bear to part with it at the moment then keep it, but please let me know that you have found it. If you join bookcrossing, which is free and spam-free, you can follow the book on its' travels as you will get an email each time it changes hands, but if you prefer to remain anonymous, that's fine too. Please also say what you intend to do with the book next. Thanks for coming onto the site to let me know you have found the book.

I already have books travelling in many countries around the world-a list can be found on my bookcrossing profile.

When re-releasing this book please be aware that airports are not a good place to leave books unless they have a specific book exchange shelf or area, due to security problems, so they may well just be disposed of. Also charity shops may well discard books that have been labelled in any way and they mostly chose only the books in the very best condition
to place on their shelves and discard the rest-so another bad release option.
