Since childhood, people told Tandi that she was useless and no good, and she believed them. Then she found the prayer box, and she finally was convinced that all those people were wrong.

Small Things Like These

This is a book that 1) Uses just the right number of words to say what it needs to, 2) Can tell a beautiful story set in the harshness of a poor community in Ireland, and 3) Can beautifully contrast the very best and very worst of human behavior. In short, this is an amazing book, and I will be reading more by this author.

It's amazing to me how someone went from the top comedian to off the air a decade later. Overall, well written.

In the Time of Five Pumpkins

book cover


This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

Morality for Beautiful Girls

book cover


Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.

Twelve Angry Librarians

This is a new author for me and I loved this book. The central character is a part-time college librarian who has a cat that goes everywhere with him. His college is hosting a librarian’s convention at which someone who is hated by everyone is murdered, making everyone at the convention a suspect. The central character has a knack for solving crimes and is instrumental in helping the police with this one. A good and interesting plot with good characters. I look forward to reading something else by this author.
