Welcome to Litsy!

Update on where I am on the #31by31 so my goal is to read 31 of the short stories of Hercule Poirot by the 31st. I'm currently on short story number 9. #Scarathlon #TeamSlaughter #Readathon #HerculePoirot #AgathaChristie #ShortStories #Murder #Mystery @Clwojick @Catsandbooks

Day 2 of the #Scarathlon & I'm starting this beauty today!! I'm also participating in the #31by31 as well. My goal is to read 31 of these 50 short stories before October 31st. Wish me luck, going to rank up some points for #TeamSlaughter @Clwojick @Catsandbooks

One of my favourite things about London is reading a Poirot story from the 1920s and seeing a reference to a pub I went to the other week! Wonder if agatha christie ever sat at the same table as me.

I love this enormous volume of poirot short stories SO much, perfect cosy october reading

I‘ve been watching Poirot the miniseries as an RX for peace of mind, and I‘m obsessed. A few months ago it was Miss Marple (80s series). Although I own all the short stories on Kindle, I went to the bookstore today for a physical copy. Should make for perfect bedtime reading—all 867 pages of it!

Me later today when the lack of sleep catches up with me...

I‘ve really gotten into sending postcards lately - I found that the best way to convince myself that it was ok to go outside was to have a task to complete - ie. walk to the post box

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hercule Poirot, the most famous detective in the world! Give him any case or mystery to solve, he will thwart it by the characteristic application of his 'little grey cells'. Both, Poirot and Hastings are by far the most successful duo! My love for mystery urged me to buy this book and I must admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the short stories. Murders, kidnappings, thefts all solved! Agatha Christie can never go wrong! #mystery

Boyfriend says, I can't read all day (I still can't imagine why not), so instead of reading we watch a bit Poirot. 😊 #DavidSuchet

Sadly, neither of these are in the database. They are both fantastic Poirot stories.

Jen, what a lovely beginning to fall! 🍂🍁Thank you so much for your truly thoughtful gifts! English murders and Bryson? Perfect!! My first bookish pillow and your pretty bookmarks! Love your art! ❤️ And your calligraphy on the card is frame-worthy! 😍 Cozy scarf and socks in colors perfect for me! I will definitely be putting my fall mug to use immediately! The chocolates look yummy, I'm currently wearing the salted caramel lip balm 😄, and ...

“I cannot eat these eggs. They are of totally different sizes.” 🙄

“..that every hen lays an egg of a different size! What symmetry can there be on the breakfast table? At least they should sort them in dozens at the shop!” 😆

Happy Mid-Summer gift to myself 📚☀️🍹

Thank you @KisforKechell for the fun and thoughtful box of goodies! I love everything! I can‘t wait to start on the books and the elephant bookmarks are my favorite 😊 The Journal is lovely and the coloring post it‘s are so fun. I‘ve never seen those before!

I was surprised to see we only live just a few miles apart - I feel bad you spent money on postage!! 😆 Thank you again.

Poirot, like Paris, is always a good idea. I love Christie's short stories best of all.

♥️

I‘m quite excited that one of my favourite detectives has made his way back to the big screen but also kind of terrified that it‘s Kenneth Branagh doing it... idk - has anyone watched it?

We had to name him Poirot. The picture does not do his mustache justice. #catsoflitsy

Happy birthday to the Queen of Crime! 🕵🏻‍♀️

I love all of her characters, but I have to say that Poirot squeaks by as my all time favorite characters that she created. Who is yours?

If only Agatha Christie knew how this sentence would age.

"It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without." ~ Poirot

"Put that in your mustache and smoke it." ?

"I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them."

?Poirot is just magnificent.?

@elkeo second post 😍

Und hier sind die würdigen Nachfolger 😍

I present the 'new' Hercule Poirot 😍

Ich habe mich nun doch entschlossen, die komplette Fischer-Ausgabe wegzugeben. Die vielen Fehler machten die Bücher trotz ihrer inhaltlichen Stärke nicht mehr lesenswert. 😑

So I decided to give away all my books published by Fischer. So many mistakes within these books made me really dislike the books even though the plots were so delightful. 😑

@JPeterson Look what I found at Amazon. This is one edition in two languages. 😍

Meine Lieblingsserie aus den 1920 Jahren 😍

My favourite book series #setinthe1920s. 😍

#day6 #marchintoreading #happyreads This collection of every Hercule story is my go-to 'Happy' book.... I never tire of Poirot and Hastings... and their banter always brings a smile. Comfort reading for me, every time.... 😊😊😊

Ahh Poirot is on Netflix! How did I not notice this before. I will get to use my little grey cells while I wash the dishes today.

Getting my #mystery game on early! Signed up for the #goodreadschallenge and couldn't be more excited 📚❤️ Getting my inner geek out! #bengalibookworm #bookstagram #book #bookworm #bookish #bookaholic #bookaddict #book #library #librariesofinstagram #libraryhaul #agathachristie #poirot #kincaid

One of the few advantages of having a fairly poor memory is that crime fiction becomes much more fun to #reread when you can't remember whodunnit! Poirot is one of my all-time favourite main characters. #booktober @RealLifeReading

#ilovebigbooks #day25 #booktober I love a classic mystery and these two hefty tomes are favorites I dip in and out of often....
