#HerculePoirot
blurb
Susanita
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd | Agatha Christie
post image

Interesting list! Books I‘ve read (7/100), a few from my TBR, some I‘ve never heard of in my life, and some by authors I have read just not the ones on the list. #TLT

Surely there will be more Agatha Christie in the next batch? Survey link: https://www.listchallenges.com/1001-books-you-must-read-before-you-die-1900s

Highlights:
1. The Call of the Wild
2. The Great Gatsby
3. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd

PaperbackPirate Lol I only had The Call of the Wild and The Great Gatsby! 2d
Daisey I haven‘t gone through this list yet, but I can say there‘s only one Agatha Christie on the entire combined 1001 list. 2d
Susanita @Daisey Wow!!😟 1d
dabbe You summed up this list perfectly! MOST on this one, I was like 😳! #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 1d

kspenmoll @dabbe We are a yankee family going back to my dad who went to Med school at Cornell & interned at Yale- that half of Ct is NY upper half CT Boston Red Sox (edited) 5d

dabbe @kspenmoll I thought you were a Yankee fan! So, is the bigger rivalry in CT then between the Yankees and the Red Sox? 5d
kspenmoll @dabbe Totally biggest rivalry! When Robert was in elementary school, he had an ongoing thing with one of his teachers. She was a Red Sox fan; he was a Yankee fan. She gave him a Yankee watch plastic of course when he graduated sixth grade. 5d
dabbe @kspenmoll What fun! Sounds like a fabulous teacher, too! 😍 4d
kspenmoll @dabbe She is a fabulous teacher! Small world: I have ended up working with her daughter in HS, who I knew when she was growing in her Momma! 4d
dabbe @kspenmoll “It's a small world after all!“ 😍 4d

We‘re staying in 1924 with May‘s #ChristiesCapers . This first short story collection by Christie of course features Poirot. Discussion on May 25th!

I will post the story titles in the comments. This one should be the same in all countries, but just in case, our discussion will focus on the listed short stories. #AgathaChristieClubR3

I am proud that I did not bail, but Poirot and Christie are not at their best in short stories. Too much dialogue, too minor of cases, and too quick of resolutions made each story in here a bigger bore than the first. I‘ll read Book 4, but only after a break to cleanse my pallet.

Maybe not one of my favorites, but not entirely disappointing either. Just needed a little Poirot in my life!

Ah Hastings. We meet again. This was a reread but I didn‘t remember much of the story before going back into it. Entertaining mystery though Hastings really annoys me. Can‘t wait for the next Poirot! #ChristiesCapers

Librarybelle Yay! 1mo
