He is my favorite (living) author- I just devour everything he writes. And No.1 Ladies Detective Agency is my favorite of his series...<br /><br />Tears of the Giraffe is the second one. I did a post last year where I list them in order:<br /><br />http://dailyconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2009/11/on-alexander-mccall-smith.html<br /><br />Enjoy! And I am so jealous you get to meet him- He never comes to L.A. Tell him his biggest fan is here! xoThe Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-83439534411576028702010-02-19T02:52:57.073-08:002010-02-19T02:52:57.073-08:00Remember a while ago I told you I picked up a copy...Remember a while ago I told you I picked up a copy of AMS's 'No.1 Ladies Detective Agency'.<br /><br />Voila! Just finished reading it and just in the nick if time as Alexander McCall Smith is having a book signing in Edinburgh on March 3rd and I have myself a ticket! Woo Woo.<br /><br />So now hoping to pick up a copy of 'Tears of The Giraffe', as this is the second in the series. Right? (Just in case questions are asked, I don't want to be the only attendee with only one title under my belt.)<br /><br />His new book is called 'Double Comfort Safari Club'.<br /><br />Thanks to you Mma Connoisseur, that I began my journey into the AMS experience. I am way behind everyone else but I want to read in sequence. His writing is quaint and charming. And I like it. xxSharon McPhersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568442958046594336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-32821904896423892172010-02-18T12:47:20.924-08:002010-02-18T12:47:20.924-08:00Bonjour ma chere,

I've been trying something recently where I let my hair air dry (not pretty) and wear it like that for one day and then at night I flat iron it. It is much quicker... I just never know what sort of hair day I am going to have when I let it air dry!The Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-61548777544345971402010-02-16T10:47:24.352-08:002010-02-16T10:47:24.352-08:00Oh gosh.. the first thing that came to mind was bl...Oh gosh.. the first thing that came to mind was blow drying my hair! Every time I turn around I have to wash and dry my hair again. Haha. I don't know what it is but I just hate standing there drying it. I don't have the option to let it air dry because it doesn't air dry well. I've tried to trick myself into thinking that'll be "me" time to meditate or zone out.. but it's a work in progress. I like to joke about hiring a personal assistant just to dry my hair for me. ;)Merveilleuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03242621787426026924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-3802519902456320432010-02-16T09:03:18.127-08:002010-02-16T09:03:18.127-08:00Marsi and Michael- LOL I had no idea your Sisyphea...Marsi and Michael- LOL I had no idea your Sisyphean journeys would be so hilarious :)<br /><br />Rebecca- so true- yet so hard! xoThe Daily Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843902889491327636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7682312585713348709.post-33912056674201544422010-02-16T08:22:27.247-08:002010-02-16T08:22:27.247-08:00It is all about the journey.
