Book 21 (2012) The Importance of Being Seven** by Alexander McCall Smith
Another great read, with my favorite character, Bertie. Very funny -- his mother is accidentally shipped to eastern Europe in a container full of used clothing.
This is 6th book in the 44 Scotland Street series.

Book 4 (2012) The Charming Quirks of Others ** by Alexander McCall Smith
Another Isabel Dalhousie novel. Love her, love the setting, want to be secretly wealthy living in Edinburgh (well maybe not).

Book 56 The Unbearable Lightness of Scones** by Alexander McCall Smith
Another lovely read by McCall Smith -- 5th the Bertie (44 Scotland) series. So clever. Not enough Bertie though. But all characters interesting, and lots happens. Very heartwarming even if all the players have flaws.
The thing with McCall Smith is that he makes you want to move to Edinburgh, which is pretty amazing.

Book 11 The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday** by Alexander McCall Smith
The 5th book in Smith's Isabel Dalhousie series. At first, I was frustrated by this series, as nothing happens, but I do like the character Isabel, who is secretly very wealthy, but lives a fairly ordinary life in Edinburgh. She is a philosopher and so dwells on the ethics and morals of every thought and non event, much like we all do. Mostly confident and only slightly neurotic, she is a hero in a way.
