Planned Reading

Every year in September, I wonder if Alexander McCall Smith has published a new No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency novel - and, if so, what the title is. The books come out in October.

Then I go online to our public library and put a hold on both the ebook and the large print versions. The books are listed in the library catalog, though they're only on order by then.

I don't expect to get the book for a while - there are usually a lot of holds. But the work is done and I can forget about it!

So I was surprised, a few days ago, to get an email notice from the library that the large print version of his latest was mine to pick up! Already?! 



So I have it - a delightful diversion! I read a few pages in the evening before I go to bed. It starts out slow - but after a few chapters, I usually find it hard to put down. It's become part of my winter tradition... (though it’s a great series to read any time of the year).

Every time I start to read one, I feel as if I'm visiting old friends.
