1. I just grab a book. There's really no rhyme or reason to it.
2. Any day of the week. I read every single day unless I am sick.

pickI didn't want it to end! Very happy to realize there are 12 novels featuring this character for me to sink my teeth into. Tone and length really lent to reading these short stories aloud. Very much into the 'little old lady is a lot sharper than you think' trope, and as much as the humble village life is overplayed, it's satisfying to see a mystery-solving protagonist grounded in life experience, rather than just uncanny observational skills.
pickOooh, this was just delicious! With Christie half the fun is seeing the solution neatly laid out at the end and piecing it together again backwards, and this one seemed especially well plotted so I got to relish that sense of surprise all over again as I ran back through how everything fit together.
Do we classify that as floral innuendo or floral booty call?
A presumptuous theatre-goer, for certain!
Wholesome after dinner activities. 😝
Overly familiar, verbose stranger telling ghoulish stories while you try and paint the scenery?
The correct response in two words!
Friday #bookmail Part 2! Wine of Honour is our March #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub read (cannot wait!) and, after finishing the first Miss Marple for #GoldenAgeCrimeClub, I immediately ordered the second to read this month. I‘ll be starting Mind of the Raven soon for #NaturaLitsy.
so-so8/23 What I learnt from this book of short stories is that I prefer Christie‘s full length mysteries. Not because she isn‘t skillful in the short stories but because I get less time to guess what‘s happened! My favorite story was the last. Great for #192925 #1960 & #booked2023 #ashortstorycollection though.
I'm getting 'Quint, from Jaws' vibes...
It‘s February and I‘m finally getting to some of my #booked2023 prompts. I‘m listening to this one for #shortstorycollection and I‘m also ready Whisper Network for #titlebeginswithavorw
