Murder at the Vicarage | Agatha Christie

Oh my goodness. This is at the British Library! They have the most wonderful exhibitions always beautifully presented and usually only on for 3 months. Dame Agatha has a 6 month run! They‘re obviously expecting it to be busy! Can‘t wait 😝

Lizpixie Oh I‘m so jealous! I was first given a Dame Agatha to read at 7yrs old by my Auntie Lilla & fell in love with not just her but the whole genre. It was Sparkling Cyanide & I found a 1st Edition of it in a beautiful little second hand bookstore in Katoomba, Blue Mountains NSW & it‘s the star of my Dame Agatha shelf in my library. I would LOVE to see this exhibition!🤩 7d
Mitch When it comes @Lizpixie I‘ll post lots of photos so you can see it all! 6d

And again, doing some background reading on the current Poirot murder mystery. I would have liked any of the displayed covers compared to the one my ebook did. 🙄

Keeping up with the further reading - I am behind anyway 🙈🙈🙈 - before starting the next Poirot in line. Both books narrate Poirot‘s life as displayed throught the different novels and give background infos on how the novels were written and published.

Lesliereadsalot Loved Salt Water. Cant wait to hear your thoughts. 5mo
Ruthiella @Lesliereadsalot I‘m reading it because of your review! 😅 I‘m 80% done and don‘t love it the way you did. That is, unless the last 20% knocks my socks off. It is entertaining but slow and I don‘t appreciate multiple perspective storytelling generally. 5mo
BookNAround Although there is certainly some problematic language and attitudes in the Christie Mallowan memoir, I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you do too. 4mo
Ruthiella @BookNAround Definitely the memoir reflects a less enlightened view of non-Europeans etc. which is also often found in her novels as well. 4mo

#WhereareyouMonday

This Monday I‘m in 1930s Syria at an archaeological dig with Dame Agatha and her second husband, Max Mallowan. Some of my favorite Poirot novels are those set in the Levant region, so I am looking forward to this memoir.

BarbaraBB Interesting location! 5mo
Ruthiella @BarbaraBB I think it will be an interesting read! 🤞 5mo

These are all books I physically own that I hope to read in May for the #ShelfSweeper readathon hosted by @Tove_Reads and @Andrew65 .

I didn‘t see any from @eanderson ‘s list that happened to coincide with my plans but I will still be reading in her memory #4Elizabeth ❤️ If there is a heaven, surely it is a library.

LeahBergen I really enjoyed the tagged book! 5mo
Andrew65 Looks some excellent reading ahead, good luck. 5mo

Checking out the background information on The Murder on the Links. It is weird to not read the teo books right away, but to read them chapter-wise after every Poirot novel - definitely not my typical type of reading.

Reading the background information on Styles. A few weeks ago I bought the new „Poirot“ by Aldrigde only to realize I have an older version of this kind of background info book by Anne Hart already on my bookshelf. 🙈🙈🙈 Okay, this way I can check out the development of the Agatha Christie research from 1990 to 2022. 😜 #offtheshelf
