You included one of my favorites, Alexander McCall Smith, in your list. I’m just finishing his latest in the *Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency* series, *Tea Time for the Traditionally Built*.
Every book in this series is better than the last! There is something so sweet, so essentially good and generous about these books! And they make me laugh out loud.

Thanks for the P.G. Wodehouse suggestion. We have some of Wodehouse’s story collections in our fiction section.

Cindy, I have heard good things about the #1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, but have not gotten around to reading it yet. I am hoping to start it this summer! I enjoy those laugh-out-loud reads.
