The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency | Anne Collins, Alexander McCall Smith
post image

"Some people think of God as a white man, which is an idea the missionaries brought with them all those years ago and which seems to have stuck in people's mind. I do not think so, because there is no difference between white men and black men; we were all the same; we were just people.
And God was here anyway, before the missionaries came."

Yep. Here I am reading my 20th cozy, humorous, and humane adventure with Mma Ramotswe, Rra J.L.B. Matekoni, Mma “97%” Makutsi, Mma Potokwane, and the rest! Alexander McCall Smith has consistently warmed my heart with this series. #AlexanderMcCallSmith #Series #booksandtea

#febinBooks18 New auto-buy #author

I rarely buy books for myself and if I do, it's by #AlexanderMccallSmith especially the Mma Ramotswe series without any hesitation. And Goodreads proves he's my most-read writer

slhbooks The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series is a guaranteed buy for me too. I just love them! I‘ve been saving the most recent one for a ‘perfect‘ time. 6y
BookishMe @slhbooks I bought no 17 as last year's birthday gift for myself and read it to welcome the new year. No 18 later this year for a reading prompt. I hope to read each title in the series (they are so uplifting) to welcome every new year. Definitely rereading from the first book when 20th title is confirmed ;D 6y

Any #AlexanderMcCallSmith fans in the Litsy House? Here's 9 of them from our donor's collection. I should really get to this series at some point. Does the series get better as it goes along? #LitsyLovesLibraries

awishman I'm behind, but I love this series. And the audio books are fantastic! 7y
Soubhiville I love these books! They're a lot of fun. 7y
mrsmarch You've got books from 2 series there. I much prefer No 1 Ladies Detective Agency to Isabel Dalhousie; but his best work hands-down is the serial Scotland Street novels he's done for The Scotsman. 7y
Tanner I really enjoy the Isabel Dalhousie series. 7y
anneofgreentables I agree completely with @mrsmarch 7y
Libby1 This author brings me great joy. I've had the chance to meet him briefly at two author events and he is as funny and genuine as they come. 7y
ejgraves I love the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency so much! 7y
bookishdawg 💕💕💕 7y
scripturient I like his books, some series more than others. And I agree with @Libby1 - he is such a nice man! We met him twice at the Edinburgh book festival and my students were so cute after his wonderful reading as they said they'd love to ask him to come back to the hotel with us and read them bedtime stories. 😂😂 7y

The Miracle at Speedy Motors | Alexander McCall Smith
post image
Pickpick

Of the 17 books in Alexander McCall Smith's #1 Ladies' Detective Agency Series I've read 16; I own 7. The Miracle at Speedy Motors Is autographed from my time meeting the author 8 years ago. Always a pleasure to read❣️Pictured here with a cup of herbal red bush tea with cranberry and orange, called "African Autumn." I'm looking forward to reading Precious and Grace❣️#PreciousandGrace #AlexanderMcCallSmith #TheMiracleatSpeedyMotors #teaandbooks

WhatDeeReads I've only read one, but I own the first eight. Hopefully, next year I'll have some time to really just dig in. 8y
Buddys_Momma I have read the first book in that series and cannot wait to get to the other ones. 8y
slhbooks Love these! Have all of them except the most recent. 7y

8leagueboot I think I need that tea in my life 🍁 7y
Lesliereads @NorthEastofEden yes! Now is the season for this tea blend -yum 7y
Donna_sBookMinute I remember reading N1LDA years ago. It was okay. But the fact that I've continued to add Smith titles to my library is an indicator that I wish to give him another chance. I discovered Harvey Brothers teas a few years ago. I'll have to give African Autumn a try. Welcome to @Litsy ❗️📚👍🏾 7y
Lesliereads @Donna_sBookMinute Thank you for the welcome❣️The only thing you neglected to mention was your favorite of the HB teas! 7y
