I like the Alexander McCall Smith series that is set in Botswana. The main character is Ma Ramotswe, the first female detective in the country. They are light, but amusing, and Ma Ramotswe is very clever!
I recently read Bread, Bones and Butter, a memoir of a NYC female chef. I enjoyed it very much!
Hope your hospital stay goes well.

Well, I review books on the side so I've read some dandies (and quite a few not-so-dandy as well). I just read one called "Dream of Me" by Jennifer Froelich that I liked, "The Assassination of Governor Boggs" by Rod Miller if you like history, "Invisible Snow" by Quinn Barrett and "Haunted on Bourbon Street" by Deanna Chase if you like fun paranormal. Now I'll shut up.

Donna Andrew--funny as... Sharyn McCrumb, most set in Appalachia. M.C. Beaton, set In Scotland. None of these are about quilting, but they are all a quick read.

Have you read any by Clare O'Donohue? I've read The Drunkard's Path, The Lover's Knot and am now reading The Double Cross. The author was a producer of HGTV's SIMPLY QUILTS. They're all quilts mystery stories. Thanks for asking because I was getting low on authors to check out. I hope these reading suggestions will help make your stay in the hospital enjoyable, if that's ever possible. Have a speedy recovery.

I have a kindle on my I-pad but don't use it because I don't want to buy the books. I did buy one book but what
do I do with it once I read it? My questions is do you get free books to put on your kindle and if so, where or how
I am such a novice at the computer or I-pad or anything new. Thanks for any suggestions or instructions.

I recommend the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich ... they're hilarious!! You'll laugh out loud! There are many times when I'm reading with my hand over my mouth so I don't make any noise. I'm smiling right now just thinking about them.
