Book Blogger Hop!

Welcome to my stop on the Book Blogger Hop! If you haven't checked it out before it's a weekly meme hosted by Crazy For Books where book bloggers come together to party!

This weeks question is: If you could physically put yourself into a book or series...which one would it be and why?

My answer is The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. I love this series! It just presents a way of life that is so different from mine. It sounds so laid-back and that is something I would love! Plus, the idea of being a detective sounds really cool, especially with the mysteries that Mma Ramotswe is solving!

    I do love a mystery to solve but as long as it is not a gory murder :)
