Morality for Beautiful Girls by Alexander McCall Smith
This is book three of Mma Romotswe, right? I think so. I liked reading more about her secretary in this one. She's a cool lady.

Free Byrd by Paul Byrd
BOOK OF THE MONTH AWARD
Paul Byrd is a pitcher for the Cleveland Indians. He's not a great writer, so some things in his book came out a little awkward. But he is very honest, and I really appreciated that. It's a book about his Christian faith, the struggles he's had, and how that fits into major league baseball. He seems like a really cool guy. He explains how being a Christian doesn't mean that everything will be perfect for you, or that you won't be tempted by sin, and sometimes give in to it. He focuses on the importance of a relationship with God.

Deadline by Chris Crutcher
A high school senior finds out that he only has a year to live. He wants to have as normal a year as possible, so he doesn't tell anyone. He decides to stir things up before he goes though, and interesting things happen. It was a good book.
