The Thursday Murder Club | Richard Osman

I watched this the other day and I loved so much about it: the incredible casting, of course: the sets (I'd love to have any of their flats); seeing a favorite book come to life. But I had one big issue with the movie (spoiler in comments) so I had to listen to the original story during work to get the right pieces back in my head.

bookandbedandtea I hate that Bogdan was arrested. He's important in the rest of the books! 😖 2h

Ruthiella I know. But it was self defense. They can work it so he gets off in the next film. 🤞 In the book, he had his reasons but he did kill in cold blood. I wonder if the powers that be were worried he would not be sympathetic enough if they kept to the book. 1h

bookandbedandtea @Ruthiella You make a really good point. 🤔 Hopefully they will make more films and will be able to include him. 39m

BookishMarginalia That bothered me too 23m

HeyT I know when it first came out on socials there was a whole #JusticeForBogdan thing happening. now

December | Phil Rickman

Here are my picks for #ReadYourEbooks this month. I feel like I manifested the 2 spin after saying I need to read Negroland this month, so sorry if anyone is unhappy with that number. 😂 Hopefully I‘ll read at least one other as well!

Partners in Crime (Tommy & Tuppence) | Agatha Christie

pick

I'm really enjoying Tommy & Tuppence! I was surprised by the long time gap from their first adventure but glad they are still happily married, although a bit bored. The detective agency was such a fun way for them to spend their time & great for the short story format here. I admit, most of the references to famous detectives went over my head as I'm not familiar with most of them. But it didn't hinder my understanding or enjoyment

The Secret of Chimneys | Agatha Christie

pick

This is a weak pick. I enjoyed the main characters, especially Anthony, Virginia and Inspector Battle, along with their evolving relationships, but the storyline felt a bit off at times; occasionally straying into the realm of the implausible. The book had enough to keep me amused, but may not be satisfactory for those seeking a more tightly woven mystery.

Ruthiella Why are they acting so shady? Surely if he had been stabbed, it would be obvious? Blood everywhere? 🤔 7h

Bklover Well, I‘m betting there‘s blood SOMEWHERE! 5h

julieclair If it really was a heart attack (which I doubt), then surely someone else is going to be stabbed at some point. We can't have this jewel-encrusted, legendary dagger hanging around without someone getting stabbed with it! 😉 3h

In Cold Blood | Truman Capote

I'm so excited for my #auldlangspine list from @CSeydel. The only book on the list I've already read is My Friends by Fredrick Backman.

I'm going to prioritize reading In Cold Blood, Tress of the Emerald Sea, We Solve Murders, Mickey7, and The Stardust Grail in January, but there are so many other interesting books on this list that I'll hopefully manage to read at some point!

Thanks @monalyisha for organizing!

monalyisha You‘re welcome! I‘m trying to get my IRL Book Club to choose The Stardust Grail as one of our picks for 2026 but I don‘t think it‘s going to happen. I‘ll be looking forward to your review(s)! 10h

Amiable Oh, “Hellhound on His Trail” is a phenomenal read! 10h

CSeydel Yay, I‘m glad you like the list! I‘ll be interested to hear what you think of Stardust Grail. I was very torn whether to include it … it had some flaws, and it took a while to grow on me, but by the end I was having a good time. You‘ve got a great lineup picked out for January! 10h

Lin3han Love love love Tress!!
