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
All are invited to share! 🤩

Having overextended myself with buddy reads, I finally finished this one. This novel introduces readers to Anne Beddingfeld, a spirited young woman who becomes entangled in an international mystery after witnessing a suspicious death in the London Underground. The novel moves beyond the confines of the English countryside to take readers to South Africa. ⬇️
so-soI‘m so conflicted about this one. I really liked the mystery and its twists and turns. I enjoyed the intrigue on the boat. I really liked Anne, Suzanne, and Colonel Race. But I hated Sir Eustace and I wasn‘t a fan of Harry. The colonialism and casual racism of the South African backdrop + the overt sexism/objectification of women really bothered me. I had a really hard time setting aside those latter elements with excuses of it being ⤵️
1. Definitely sitting up. I try to read laying down when going to bed and in about 30 seconds I'm 🥱😴
2. Still finishing this one. I'm lovin' it; I just haven't had much time to read lately!
Play? @TheLudicReader @BarkingMadRead @wanderinglynn

A bit late but this was a fun one! I enjoyed the African adventure and touch of romance with Anne the plucky heroine.
pickLow pick. I enjoyed parts of the story but truthfully I prefer the “traditional” mysteries more than the adventurous espionage/heist/conspiracy plots that Christie has done in some of her books including this one. I liked it while I read it but it took me all month to get through. Once I put it down I kind of forgot about it 🤷🏼♀️ #Christiescapers @Librarybelle
On April 5 & 12, I finished the short stories I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. On April 19, I read a college football romance ARC I signed up to read from Chasing Books PR. On April 26, I read the short story I had to read for #noplacelikeholmes. Today, April 30 I just finished reading the Agatha Christie book that I had to read for #christiescapers. I haven‘t written a review for it yet but I liked it.

I‘m very behind in my reading this month. So, in addition to my physical book, I did a little #audioknitting tonight. This is from a mystery gnome knit along #MKAL with Imagined Landscapes. Perfect for one of the Queen of Mystery‘s books.
My Professor is pretty cute.
I‘m enjoying this Christie so far.
