The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

I listened to this book. It's the first in the series. It's about a lady detective (duh, the title) in Botswana. I was expecting it to be about one long mystery, but she actually works on about 5 different cases through this book. It was entertaining and I would definitely read more of this series. You learn a lot about the culture in Botswana too.

Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer

The third book in the Twilight series. Wow, things can only get more complicated for Bella Swan in this book where she has to choose Edward or Jacob. It was fun to learn more about Jasper and Rosalie and how they came to be vampires. It was was interesting too to learn how the werewolves evolved in the Quilite tribes. Meyer's has an excellent ability to transport you to another world that isn't anything like we know. This was fun.

I also mention the book that our book club read this month: Couldn't Keep it to Myself: Testimonies from our Imprisoned Sisters by Wally Lamb. Wally Lamb teaches writing to women inmates at a prison and this book is a compliation of stories from several of the inmates. Our book club had a good discussion which revolved around: abuse, childhood, writing with Wally Lamb. I haven't finished this yet, but it was very interesting to read about these women and we all agreed that Lamb has given these women a voice and the tools to share their experiences.

Remember Me by Sophie Kinsella

SK's books are so funny! I like listening to them in the car because if I zone out a little chances are I haven't missed an important twist in the plot. The main character in this story is in a car accident and wakes up not remembering the last 3 years of her life. She comes to find out that she's turned into a total you-know-what at work and married to this gorgeous guy. In the end all turns out well and she ends up with the right guy and fixes things at work, but the adventures she goes through are hilarious and certainly entertaining!
