Just finished this one and I have to say that I enjoyed the movie more than the book! #Wintergames #teamElectricSex#

“I am a detective. My name is Hercule Poirot.“
If he expected an effect he did not get one. MacQueen said merely, “Oh, yes?“ and waited for him to go on.
“You know the name perhaps.“
“Why it does sound kind of familiar-only I always thought it was a woman's dressmaker.“
Forgot how amusing these exchanges are that pinpoint how large Hercule's ego is. My pick for Dec's book club read. So fun to reread after 30 years. Very enjoyable!
Ummmm...I can feel someone watching me... #creeper #dogsoflitsy
Read for #bookclub which is tonight. I must say I began this book without enjoying it, but then something happened and I was riveted. Loved the ending. A definite worthy murder mystery #classic. And loved the bath with wine and book I was able to indulge with this past weekend. 🍷♥️ 📖
#MOvember #ExpressYourself I can‘t remember if I read Murder on the Orient #Express 🤔 ( such a great title ) But I saw the most recent movie with Kenneth Branagh & really enjoyed it. This book was also referred to in Tana Frenchs Wych Elm ... which was fun ...
“Then,” said Poirot, “having placed my solution before you, I have the honour to retire from the case. . . .”

A classic Poirot mystery! I believe this was a reread first me, but it has been so long that I can't remember if I really finished this book or not. I know for sure I watched the old film multiple times, so it is a familiar story. Great story, great characters, and awesome setting. Enjoyed this very much. I also read this as an audiobook, narrated by Dan Steven's. He did an amazing job. 4 out of 5.
This was my first exposure to Agatha Christie and boy was I stunned by this brilliant novel. A cruel but calculated murder takes place on the Orient Express and it is up to the protagonist Hercule Poirot to figure out who did it and what could be their motive, all while being cut off from civilisation. The author keeps us playing the guessing game till the very end only to bring in the most jaw dropping plot twist. My rating 5/5.
I‘m sure there are hundreds of different cover styles for the Agatha Christie books, but the style of these #Black spines always draw me in. Whenever I‘m at the thrift store these are the ones that I tend to gravitate towards. 🖤🖤🖤 #ChillingPhotoChallenge #TeamSlaughter
This book was interesting and dryly funny. My first Christie, won‘t be my last.

I am proud of myself that I made it through this book without flipping to the back to see the reveal, a bad habit of mine. 🤗 It was my first book with Poirot in it, and I had a lot of fun watching him interview everyone and figure things out. The story was engaging enough to break me out of a serious reading slump, though I can see where some might have found it a bit slow going. However it was perfect for me.
I quite enjoyed this "Whodunit" book from the Queen of Mystery. Now it's time to watch the movie. #agathachristie

Baking bread and listening to audiobooks. #audiobooks
Hope y'all had a great weekend. I got so much reading done & even got to see an Agatha Christie play. ❤
Little Free Library Adventure. How cute is this one? It has another compartment underneath filled with children's books! #littlefreelibrary
“If you will forgive me for being personal, I do not like your face.” 😂
I cannot lie - I stopped reading this multiple times to look up cross-country train travel. I‘m not sure what that says about me but I‘m going with it.
This was so very satisfying.
Book 7 for #14books14weeks
Thanks so much for the wonderful box @Bookwormjillk ! It looks like we had the same idea with the stroopwafels. 😂 Thanks for organizing this fun #sits #staycationintimeswap @Chrissyreadit
My workout is done so now I‘m gonna sit in my spot and read for a while. The tagged book is for #popsugarreadingchallenge and the other is for #lmpbc.
I listened to the Audible drama of this and what a disappointment. I love the actual book but this version was terrible. Poirot‘s accent was horrific! And so were a lot of the actors. Did not work for me.
So excited to get these later this week!!! I know everyone is loving the nightingale but has anyone read murder on the orient express?? Thoughts?
Saw this in the Litsy feed and had to give it a go. What a stress-busting way to start the day! 😍
Thunder and a murder/mystery book with my dog Romy. ❤🐕📖
My first Agatha Christie and no wonder she continues to be a favorite for readers of all genes. She caught me like a fresh fish out of water hook, line and sinker. 🐠
Starting going to through some #audiobooks so I've been making some serious progress on #30booksin3months 📚📚📚
These last two books were finished after the start of #bfcr2 so I'm already 2/12 for my book goal!
Also already have 5 miles for the week, so hitting my 12mi goal shouldn't be a problem.🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️

@wanderinglynn @mcipher @DebbieGrillo @Lucy_Anywhere @BeckyB @okthislooksbad @twohectobooks
If it weren't for the last minute, I'd never get anything done!
My goal is simply to purposefully walk 10 miles per week and read 6 books.
My first book will be Murder on the Orient Express. I am super excited to listen to this as I invent read the book in ages.
Picture is one of the places I hope to explore more this week weather permitting.

My weird brain thought, it must be dreadful to encounter a dead body in a locked room while on holiday. Unless you are Hercules Poirot, of course.

Just joined up. I love this idea!! Hoping it helps to get me back on track! 🚶♀️📚❤

As much as I love a good whodunnit I think Agatha Christie isn‘t modern enough for me, I love the story lines but my brain drifts away in the writing. I feel like a reading fraud giving this a bad review!
Dogtective Inspector Hankule Poorot does not believe that I have not eaten the last pork chop. His sniffer tells him otherwise and he is disgusted that I did not share. #HankTheBulldog
Not sure I want a #tickettoride on this train! 😧 #beatlemaynia
Hi guys. I promise I havent forgotten about Litsy. I've been battling with some pretty bad anxiety the past two weeks that has left me literally cowering away from all social interaction. Not sure where it came from and im not sure if im in the clear since it likes to manifest out of nowhere for me but I am taking time to read after my reading hiatus. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday and make sure to always find time for yourself.
Truly enjoyed revisiting this book. Dan Stevens does an excellent job performing the #audiobook.

Bank Holiday, kids still in bed, cats fed, me restless. So, I'm making strawberry cake to my grandmother's recipe. All from scratch, because my grandmother made strawberry cake on a whim and never had ready made ingredients at home - me neither, she'd be proud of me.
First stage was making thick vanilla custard. Next step is sponge cake.

I listened to this on audio, and the narration was excellent, but the story was mediocre for me. It was entirely conversation and introspection. Excellent psychology and analysis, but I must prefer novels that tell a story via action and place (and interaction), rather than one that consists of discussion about a single event that happened at the beginning. I was bored and unengaged.
First taste of Agatha Christie for me and I liked it! please feel free to hit me with any recommendations on which one to line up next to 👍
... you know, so I can ignore the other 22 books I have on my TBR pile
Meg is my favorite non princess Disney character. Thank you! No username so I will just thank you properly on elfster!
Two books!? Yeah!! I have yet to read anyone Agatha Christie. And the trailer for Where'd You go Bernadette? Looked interesting. So gotta read the book.
A funko keychain! My love for keychains grows. Yeah that licorice won't last long.
Thank you to @kstadt929 for this fun exchange! #funkopopandabookswap #funkopopandabook
As promised, I‘m already flying through my audiobooks. 😂 I was really excited to read another Agatha Christie, and I ended up listening to the whole book yesterday. I thought the characters were so interesting, and I love the way Christie weaves the story together.
