This post should probably be titled ‘Dusty on my nightstand’ as there just doesn’t seem to be too much extra time for reading during the holidays. It is a true luxury to find time to sit by the lighted Christmas tree with a book and a cup of coffee but it’s something I love to do.
So here are two books I’ve read this month. Very different but I loved them both!

The Handsome Man’s Deluxe Café
by Alexander McCall Smith
If you haven’t read this series, do start at the beginning with the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency. This is #15 in that great series which takes place in Botswana. I love so many things about it but especially the understated humor and the slow pace of the narrative, which perfectly matches the slower pace of life in Africa. Because I’m a sucker for accents and regional lingo, I find myself wanting to say things like “Ko Ko!” (which you say in Botswana when you enter a house). Love this series!

Something Other Than God
by Jennifer Fulwiler
by Jennifer Fulwiler
The subtitle of the book is ‘How I passionately sought happiness and accidentally found it.’ It’s the autobiography of I blogger I follow (ConversionDiary.com) who describes her path to faith in Christ from her atheist roots. I liked her honestly and humor which are part of her ongoing ministry now. LIfe is messy and Jennifer’s story includes all of her mess, making her relatable and engaging.
I hope you find some quiet time to read in these days before and after Christmas too!
