I love reading too. I've been taking a break from my usual, pretty serious, historical fiction and reading "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" series by Alexander McCall Smith. I only have one more book left in the series. I like these books because they are light, and funny and also remind me of my time in South Africa. They're set in Botswana but some of the words and things are similar!
In other news we're planning on coming over there relatively soon!!! I can't wait to leave this place and start a new adventure. How are you doing? How's life? We should chat soon on skype!
