Mma Ramotswe Is Back!

I'm thrilled to hear about a new "No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" book coming out later this month. I LOVE these books. I wasn't expecting another book in this series, so this news totally makes my day. I've blogged about these books in a previous post, click here to read. Now we just need to get HBO on board with filming a season 2 of the show.

The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency

I love these books! I just finished reading the 11th and last book in The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. It's taken me a little over a year to read them all, not because I'm a slow reader, I love the books so much and I just wanted to spread them out a bit. I truly enjoyed reading all about Mma Ramotswe and her adventures in Botswana.



Jeff and I also loved watching the HBO production of The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. We thought it was very well done and the casting was perfect. I love Mma Ramotswe's assistant, Mma Makutsi, she is so funny in the books and I loved seeing her in the TV show. She is definitely a comic relief in the show. The only thing I'm very unhappy about is that HBO does not have any plans to make a season two. What are they thinking?? Anyway, if you are looking for something new to watch, I would recommend adding the Ladies Detective Agency to your Netflix queue.

Summer Reading

I remember when I was younger I couldn't wait for summer break so I could catch up on all my reading. I loved to relax by the pool with a great book. Since I haven't been working, I've had a lot of time to catch up on some reading. One of the books I finished a couple of weeks ago was "The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency". I loved it. I can't believe I haven't read these books before and they've been out awhile, I guess I'm a bit behind on this trend. It's a 10 book series and right now I'm half-way through the second book and it's just as good as the first. I can't wait to read all the books. Anyway, if you haven't read them or heard of them, it's about a woman who opens a detective agency in Botswana and she helps people solve mysteries in their lives. It's a wonderful book that reads more like a story than a mystery. If you are not into reading, HBO has done a series on the books. I can't wait to see those once I've read all the books.



Another book I read a few months ago is called "Rigged: The True Story of a Ivy League Kid who Changed the World Of Oil, from Wall Street to Dubai". This book is about the Mercantile Exchange and how two guys helped set up the exchange in Dubai. I found this book to be fascinating, but I love anything to do with Wall Street and the Stock Market. I think it goes back to when I saw the movie "Wall Street". There was just something about that movie that hooked me. Anyway, if you like Stock Market books, this is a good one.


What books are you reading this summer?
