Default I'm hooked on book series Mollie recommended

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith is the first in a series!

I'm now reading the 4th book in the series called The Kalahari Typing School for Men.

Do you love the title?

The stories are so heart warming and the setting being Botswana makes it very interesting and something a bit different from the usual.

So, thank you, Mollie, for yet another recommendation for a good read. No wonder your user name is Readstoomuch!

I've heard about these for years but have never tried them. My mom likes them. As soon as I'm done with Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story of American Submarine Espionage (fascinating, by the way!) I'll have to give them a try!

I think I'd like the submarine book, too, Sarah.

Oh, Janice, so good to know someone else enjoys this series. I'm just fascinated and keep going back to the book store to purchase the next book in the series. It's been a long time since I found a series of books.
