*The Good Husband of Zebra Drive* by Alexander McCall Smith
I always find it fun to venture back to Africa with Mma Ramotswe - a woman of fine traditional build. While I don't always agree with the world view presented by Alexander McCall Smith, I do agree often enough, to make this a fun series to read.
I enjoy the laid back lifestyle and the glimpses into another culture.
In this book Mma Ramotswe finds many of her "assumptions" to be challenged. She continues to trust completely in Mr. J.L.B. Maketoni (though he throws some surprises her way) and in Botswana.
I've visted the author's website and see no new books on the horizon for this series. Sad, another series finished....oh well, maybe he will write more.
This is another of my Fall Reading challenge books. The challenge is hosted by Katrina at Calipidder Days and runs until 21 Dec.

That sounds like an interesting series. I'm going to mark it down and see if my library has it.

I hope someone does a winter challenge! Having the challenges has really kept me consciously reading some books for "me" instead of just all the school books we read.

Yeah - I know Katrina doesn't do a winter challenge. I did the summer one. I'm not sure about a winter one.
