Mail on Sunday:- There is something almost divinely appealing about the way Alexander McCall Smith writes about daily life in Botswana - - - it is hard to think of a contemporary writer more genuinely engaging - - - His novels are also extremely funny.

RELEASE NOTES:

To fushmush

Received in the mail today. I have one more before it on the TBR pile but should get to it soonish.

Thanks for sharing!

More of the same from the No 1 Ladies' series. It was a very light, fluffy read. We seem to be getting less mystery story and more life story. It's now getting to the stage where I groan out loud when I read "tiny white van" and "97%".

Thanks for sharing. Have PMed the next in line.

Update 27/04/07: Posted to dutchbooky

This book was waiting for me with all the other mail after a week's holiday in Belgium. I am currently reading #4 of this series and also have a couple of other ringbooks to finish first. Will probably try to squeeze it in after finishing #4! Thanks for sharing Tregossip and sendig Fushmush!

Edit June 5: It is with me for a month now, sorry! I am halfway, just finished a book and will try to finish this one by the end of the week.

I found this book in the Mma Ramotswe series less entertaining. Maybe it is indeed the fact that some words or sentences are repeated so often, that makes you groan. I certainly do agree with fushmush on that! But for a light read, these books are just fine. I have no. 6 on my shelf, might keep that there some time and read it in a few months time.

I have eloisamos' address, will mail it in a couple of days. It will go surface, however, so it might take a while to cross the ocean! Hope it arrives in Brazil safe and sound!
