Here‘s how I did on #bookspinbingo in May. I completed all of the short stories for #noplacelikeholmes, completed the short story collection for #christiescapers, finished the January book for #naturalitsy, finished a book series for #serieslove2025, finished Assassin‘s Apprentice for #realmofelderlings, finished my #roll100 book from February, read an ARC on my Kindle and finished the book club book for Crow Club on Fable.
pickLow pick. I don‘t usually like short stories or short story collections but I actually quite enjoyed my time with these. Poirot is back along with his little grey cells to solve seemingly impossible puzzles. Could still do without Hastings, but he was tolerable in smaller bites. No real standout favorites from this collection but I had a good cozy time reading it. #ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle

Another lackluster library edition. Overall, I liked this one. Poirot and his little gray cells were hard at work. Usually I am not a fan of short stories but in this case I liked the short stories better than some of Christie‘s books. Her mysteries can get really convoluted but in this format there wasn‘t too much time to get too crazy. My favorite mystery was the first story, The Adventures of the Western Star.
I picked up 4 new Christies with 1970s covers (my favorites) through #pango.
We won't be getting to any of these anytime soon for #AgathaChristieClubR3 #ChristiesCapers.

Thanks for the tags, @TheSpineView and @peaKnit 😍😍
1. THE MAN IN THE BROWN SUIT; I'm loving the different detectives besides Poirot and Maple in these Christie books! @Librarybelle #ChristiesCapers
2. I loved RUTH and CRANFORD by Elizabeth Gaskell, so I am thoroughly looking forward to WIVES AND DAUGHTERS starting in June with the #hashtagbrigade led by @BarkingMadRead

pickHere‘s my review for this book I just finished for the #christiescapers buddy read. I‘m looking forward to reading the next story. I have the audiobook for the next story in my Audible library but I‘m disappointed that Richard Armitage won‘t be narrating the next one. I like listening to him read the stories. He hasn‘t read all of the stories but he‘s read most of them so far.
