Welcome to Litsy!

This was a perfect pick for me! Enjoyed reading it so much. Covers Agatha‘s life from childhood until old age, including the period of her mysterious disappearance. She converses with Poirot once he is created- these parts of the book add welcome humor to her story. So well done! Illustrations ++. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much @Bookwormjillk for these books & goodies! Looking forward to these books & sprinkling the pumpkin spice on my coffee!

This was a fun, interesting, and quick read. It was my 2nd pick for #bookspin #doublespin. It starts off with her 11-day disappearance in 1926, after her mother's death and her husband asking for a divorce. It covers her travels and career,mentions her time as a nurse ( I didn't know this) and several of her novels. Her imaginary conversations with Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple were fun. An enjoyable read for all fans.

I‘ve been wanting to read about Agatha Christie for years, and this graphic novel was a great start. I liked that her characters made appearances.

Opening with the most famous incident from her life, her disappearance, this graphic novel bio proceeds in vignettes from childhood to her passing. Although I wished they had spent more time on certain episodes of her life, or that it had been longer, I learned quite a bit. And I was amused by her banter with Poirot when he popped in unannounced & his jealousy of her other characters, especially Miss Marple.

This is a nice graphic novel style biography of the Queen of Mystery: Agatha Christie. There‘s not a lot of depth to it, but it touches on important themes in her life and her beloved characters. The book is probably best for young readers or casual Christie fans. I am neither. It annoyed that the love detectives and Parker Pyne weren‘t mentioned. Also the book suggests that the Beresfords didn‘t age alongside the author (they did!). Still good!

#NFNov I don‘t think I‘ll manage to fill the card before December, but I‘m trying! My next readathon read is another non fiction about haunted buildings but I‘m not sure which prompt to use. Should it be female author? Or would it be classed as hobby related?🤔

My 1st finished book for the #24B4Monday #readathon with 2 books half done. I‘m all over the place this weekend, I just can‘t settle on one thing so I‘m trying some non fiction books. This was a graphic novel of Dame Agathas life with a fictionalised version of her disappearance after her mother‘s death & her husbands infidelity. I enjoyed it very much. #NFNov #TIL-her 2nd husband was 14yrs younger than her & incited her love for archeology.

#BookMail Pt2 A new addition to my Dame Agatha collection,this is a graphic non fiction about Dame Christie‘s life, starting with her famous disappearance in December 1926.She was found 10 days later,staying at a hotel in Harrogate under an assumed name. She never gave a reason for it,so it‘s remained a mystery for over 90yrs. Dame Agatha was a woman ahead of her time, she travelled, surfed, flew & attended archeological digs. An interesting life.

I very much enjoyed this graphic novel biography of Agatha Christie. It‘s not a straight narrative but instead a variety of snapshots. Which is actually a great way to span all the high (and low) points in her long life. Some of her characters show up too!
The art is fantastic. Thumbs up!

I loved the artwork, but the narrative was a bit choppy and disjointed. I didn‘t realize this was originally written in French, and I wonder if the translation is part of the problem. Slightly longer review on my blog... https://wp.me/pKWKW-4u

Thanks @LeahBergen for this gift. I definitely enjoyed it and it feels so good to get through a book in less than 90 minutes. #accomplishment #onedown #hundredstogo #neverendingtbr

As a reward for finally finishing Letters to Milena and for being brave enough to share my blog review, I‘m going off my proposed October TBR and reading this gift from the lovely @LeahBergen 😍

Oh my goodness! @LeahBergen you completely spoiled me! I love everything and I‘m super excited to read these books and I love the cards you included with each one. ❤️ That mug is PERFECT for me and the candy tin is adorable! I can‘t wait to see what Bailey makes of the mustache!😂 Thank you so much! You‘re the absolute best! (and a big thank you to @Sophoclessweetheart for hosting!!) #achristieswapisannounced

Finally found these beauties in the unpacking!

This is an interesting take on Agatha Christie‘s life story — a graphic novel in which she interacts with several of her famous characters. I expect Christie fans will enjoy this book and also appreciate the many references to specific works of hers.

I loved this biographical graphic novel about my favourite author. I especially enjoyed the style of the illustrations and the way that Christie's feelings about her famous detectives were portrayed. A must for any fans of The Queen of Crime.

A snowy day seems like the perfect day to read a graphic novel about Agatha Christie!📚❄️

This is a graphic novel biography of Agatha Christie. Skippy was looking a little down so I asked if he wanted to be my model 🐶

A to Z Challenge Part 1......

I am a Poirot addict so this was such an awesome stocking stuffer!!!!

BookMail! Thank you fellow Litsians for bringing this graghic novel about Agatha Christie to my attention! I've loved her mysteries since I was a kid. I also got the 1st book in this intriguing fantasy series by James Maxwell. #mystery #fantasy #bookmail #graphicnovels

Agatha Christie was my first adult mystery love. Her life in a graphic novel? I couldn't get my hands on this fast enough! The art and the biographical story in this book were spot on. I thought I knew Dame Agatha, but I certainly learned something and was entertained. What an amazing woman!

This came yesterday so taking a break from my other book for this. I ❤️ Agatha Christie!

finally!

Not bad, but I don't think it would tell her more comprehensive fans anything new. Also, Poirot would not be caught dead in a knotted handkerchief hat, even a monogrammed one.

Agatha Christie is my all-time favorite author, so when I heard about this book (#blameitonlitsy) I immediately borrowed it from the library. I sped through it, and it was just ok. It touched on all the phases of her life, but I wasn't that drawn in, for some reason. I'd say it's missable- read one of her novels instead!

Loved it! I didn't realize how many adventures Agatha Christie had in real life. Archeological digs, golfing, learning to surf, remote island mansions, traveling through the Middle East, etc. I want to read her autobiography now.

And here you have it! The detective authors Agatha Christie deemed peers /competition during her time. I loved this graphic novel telling about her adventures on the Orient Express, being knighted by the queen, surfing in Hawaii and discovering artifacts at a archeological dig. Plus the mystery about her disappearance for 11 days prior to her husband's divorce.

I loved this fictional biography of Agatha Christie. In it, she talks to her favorite characters - Poirot, Ms.Marple and Tommy and Tuppence - throughout different milestones in her life. Based on her life, she travelled the world, became an archeologist and had her own set of adventures ( first female British surfer!) which inspired her fictional work.

Couldn't sleep, but since the first days of Autumn are upon us, I figured I'd indulge in this graphic novel about my fav mystery writer. Plus I have my majestic 17-year-old body guard Mr.Slick to keep me safe.

Makes me want to read more Agatha Christie... glad she was as annoyed by Hercule Poirot as I am. (Maybe I'll try a Miss Marple story.)

Happy birthday, ladies! #nosleeptilbookless

Perfect timing getting this today on Agatha's birthday. I read many of her books as a teen and recently had the urge to get back to her - this graphic biography will get me in the mood for sure!

This is an appealing graphic biography of Agatha Christie, starting with her mysterious disappearance and then spanning incidents across her entire life. It's a quick read that gives the reader an appreciation for Christie's wide-ranging interests and adventurous spirit. I recommend it! (It also includes a list of all her works, including those under her pen name.)

Agatha Christie shares her "secret" of success with her editor, who deems her proper place is at "Shakespeare's right hand." ?

Next up: a biography of #AgathaChristie in graphic novel form. 👍🏼🤓

I love how the life of the author is potrayed in this graphic novel, especially the way Hercule Poirot and her other famous characters are used to tell her story.

Delightful! I'm not really a big Agatha Christie fan but I feel like I need to give the old girl another try after this!

What are they for indeed? :)

If you can't take the risk of doing something you want when the chance comes, life isn't worth living.

It's a graphic biography of Agatha Christie, and yes it's as great as it sounds.
