11) Beneath a Darkening Moon by Keri Arthur

I have seven of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series on the shelves (I've only read #1 so far, but so long ago I'd have to reread it before starting any of the others). It's the kind of gentle read I really like.

>16 Jackie_K: I bought the first six in a box set and they sat on my shelf for about 2 years! Once I started reading them I couldn’t stop. I’ve read 12 now.

12) Night’s Edge by Charlaine Harris, Maggie Shane and Barbara Hambly

13) Gifts by Ursula K. Le Guin

14) Coraline and Other Stories by Neil Gaiman

15) Finders Keepers by Stephen King

Good job, Nebula. Almost at the halfway point and 8 months to get to your goal.

18) Seven Up by Janet Evanovich

19) Portuguese Irregular Verbs by Alexander McCall Smith

20) The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs by Alexander McCall Smith

You and I both like the same kinds of books! I have kept up with Alexander McCall Smith since I read The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency years ago. Did you read the Isabelle Dalhousie series too? They are a little more cerebral though. I also listened to his books on CD and enjoyed them quite a bit.
