Welcome to Litsy!

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

“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

Given the on-going Canada Post strike I have had the #jolabokaflodswap package sent directly via Amazon to my match. Takes away some of the fun, but they are on their way! (And should be in gift bags.) Christmas baking prep picture for interest.

Some #audioknitting while working on Steven West‘s Botanic Shawl last night; with Asuka‘s “help”. She kept chewing on the grey yarn.🧶 🐈

I'm not a huge fan of this one. I appreciate the idea that revealing a truth can injure those who are innocent, but there are a lot of strange ideas here about creating a family through adoption and about maternal instinct and about women---especially middle-aged women---that I have trouble getting past. (I was going to say the ideas about women are outdated, but in the current climate, it's clear that a lot of these ideas are still thriving.)

Seasonal Recs! #ihavequestions

Spring: Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott/Agatha Christie—It‘s in the title…😁
Summer: Mama Day by Gloria Naylor—major summer vibes: like a powerful, looming summer thunderstorm
Fall: Peace Like a River by Leif Enger—fall vibes, with a journey across the frozen Badlands
Winter: The Historian—I read this in winter in Germany so it‘s forever associated with snowy landscapes (and very effective blackout shutters)

I have a friend visiting from Adelaide - she requested scones and she loves Agatha Christie… so obviously I had to coax her out of the city and into the hills for a visit to Miss Marple‘s Tea Rooms! (also a visit to the amazing tea shop with all the quirky teapots next door)

As usual another great read from Agatha Christie. I was definitely feeling some summer vibes from this book. It had me so excited to the very end. This is definitely a must summer read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
