The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith- lady detective finding missing persons and such in Botswana, thanks to Caroline Bookbinder
Fauna by Alissa York- fiction about an urban sanctuary for wildlife in an auto wrecking yard, seen on Cipriano's Bookpuddle; he wants to read it too!

Seaworthy by Linda Greenlaw - via The Black Sheep Dances

They all look good! I'm hoping to read The Local News soon myself.
ReplyDeleteThe Local News has been on my list for ages!
ReplyDeleteSome great books there!
ReplyDeleteSome fun stuff, there! At least 2 of those are already on my wish list, but everything else looks interesting, too. You're going to make my wish list much worse, I can tell.
ReplyDeleteOh you're in for a treat with Edward Tulane!! It's such a good book! And I'm off to check out Fauna now...sounds really cool :)
ReplyDeleteYou have some great variety here!
ReplyDeleteYou're inspiring me to start keeping track of my own "finds." I see so many great reviews, but without writing them down I forget.
I've been interested in The Local News, too. I think I'm just really fascinated by the news aspect to the story.
ReplyDeleteLots of great stuff there! I do hope you read the Willis book, as she is a particular favorite of mine. Her Doomsday Book was just amazing!
ReplyDeleteI just saw this post - I'm hoping to track down a copy of Bonobo Handshake soon. Hope you enjoy it too!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the link and I am very touched to hear my review made you interested in The Girl Who Could Fly. It was such a wonderful book and the best part is that it surprised me by being a wonderful book!
