|title=The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon: The No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency
|author=Alexander McCall Smith
|rating=5
|genre=General Fiction
|summary=Although the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency belongs to Mma Ramotswe, I often feel that Grace Makutsi really shares equally in these stories and, in this particular episode, she has reached a truly lovely high point in her life. We saw her arrive to work for Mma Ramotswe, initially standing upon the laurels of her unheard-of 97% in her secretarial exams, and throughout the series she has developed, both as a character and as a person. She grew her role from secretary to associate detective (with great determination at times!), she bought new shoes and sometimes conversed with them, and then we rejoiced with her when she married Phuti and began to build a home with him. This time around Mma Makutsi is pregnant, but the question on everyone's mind is will she ever speak to Mma Ramotswe about the baby before it arrives?

|title=Mr Monkey and the Birthday Party (Early Reader)
Well, that's what it says on the back of the book and I can promise that it's true. You might like to wear a pair of those cotton mittens for babies whilst you read. It will feel awkward, but you'll feel the benefit, honestly. But - I'm getting ahead of myself. You want to know about the book. It's a family story - and the family in question are head lice.
