Books.

I have been reading some good ones lately!

I am currently reading How to Be Lost by Amanda Eyre Ward.  This is an extremely fast-moving book about a young woman named Caroline who fifteen years ago decided to run away from home with her two younger sisters, until her littlest sister disappeared on the day they were set to leave home.  Never having given up hope that her little sister was still alive, she heads to Montana after seeing a picture of a young woman who she thinks might be the long-lost sister.

I also just finished The #1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith.  This is the firstbook in a series about Mma Ramotswe, the one and only lady private detective in Botswana, Africa.  Not only is she proud and fat, but she is also very clever and I love her adventures!  I had heard about the book years ago but had no idea what it was about and kind of dismissed it. (I had no idea it took place in Africa).  So glad I bought it! I actually just ordered the 2nd-3rd books in the series from http://www.paperbackswap.com  and another of his from a different series after I finished reading this one.

I read this one last week, There's a (slight) Chance I Might be Going to Hell by Laurie Notaro. I wasn't sure what to expect with this one after reading the title, but it came recommended by a blogging buddy and I was not disappointed!  It is a very funny story about a 30-something woman whose husband accepts a job at a University and moves them  across the country (away from all their friends) to a small-town.  While there, she has an extremely difficult time making friends (but the things that happen to her while trying are pretty hilarious) and decides to enter the town's Sewer Pipe Queen pageant.  Loved this one also, and have ordered a few other of her books!
