...and the book I finished earlier today while enjoying sun on my deck is my #LMPBC book for this next round. It‘s a fun collection of short stories, some spooky, some with a supernatural solution, and others with a more down to earth resolution brought to us by Poirot or Miss Marple. As with most short story collections, some are better than others, but overall I found it delightful.

I‘ve been struggling with short stories lately, but this broke through my funk! An excellently curated collection. I had no idea Christie had so many supernatural stories. I loved it!! 💛🧡🖤

I also did a couple Poe and finally got to Sleepy Hollow! I loved it!! Can‘t believe it took me so long.

This Agatha Christie supernatural stories collection, was sooo good! ☕️💀 I really wish this book was around earlier, during my first readings of Poe's ghost stories. Lots of great ones for the campfire / after dark treasuring. I'm sure inspired to get back on more Agatha Christie mystery reads. Some cool appearances in a few story cases, for Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot. 🔎👻

2 hours, with 6 stories, and at least 2 making the suspense / thriller theme. The Dressmaker's Doll was spooky cool. I also loved The Blue Geranium and The Hound of Death for best favourite picks. 💀💙

This was a really cool cat story. 😺 I'm always excited to find more spooky cat tales! -- The rest of these stories, I'll aim for finishing in 2 hours on readathons, before passing on this book for my mom to read.

#TeamSlaughter @Clwojick (46p noted)

Earlier before the work shift; 1 hour stacked as my last for #CYOReadathon #October8in2 3/8, 3 stories with one clearer team suspense thriller. 💀 Lots of great picks again! The Lamp was a spooky favourite.

Clwojick 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You‘re doing awesome! 3y
SpiderCrafts @Clwojick Thanks! 🤘🤓 That's a total of 228 points so far, and looking forward to besting way above more for the check-in next weekend! (edited) 3y

#TeamSlaughter @Clwojick (31p noted)

5p per 4 stories, and 10 at 1 hour during #CYOReadathon ☕️ Not quite my team theme, but I am delightfully surprised so far, for the great paranormal atmospheres in Agatha Christie's stories. (Doyle's Holmes tales, in mind, often focused on the rational detective side.) Very cool and I'm newly enjoying these! -- I'll be off to work soon. More spooky tales tomorrow! 👻

SpiderCrafts I may be a bit wrong about Doyle as a fully logical detective 👻🔍 lots more I'm picking up on now for research and discovery, on Doyle's supernatural side. (edited) 3y

My 34th birthday is this Friday; celebrating early today with my family at home. ?? Thanks to Mom & Dad for The Last Séance on my wish list! My sister found the coolest book gifts - Nightmares, and The Mythical Creatures Bible. ? Good times today, while looking forward to an upcoming trip (Wednesday to Friday) to visit with my long-time childhood friend, in downtown Toronto.

It‘s nearing the end of the month (can you believe it), & I‘ve been working on a fun & spooky TBR for next month. ‘The Last Seance‘ is a collection of twenty stories, some featuring Christie‘s two famous sleuths - Hercule Poirot & Miss Marple. And, there‘s even a short story never before published in the USA. This collection releases today! It would be perfect if you‘re looking to add something festive and autumnal to your reading list. 🍂🎃🍂
