Surprise! Surprise! | Agatha Christie

I‘ve been anxiously awaiting the halfway mark before I shared the good news with my Litsy Family. I‘m so excited to announce that we‘re expecting our first child, a boy, in April 2024. ❤️ I am beyond thrilled, but also exhausted, so don‘t be surprised if I‘m not posting as much as usual. 😅

Those of you who know me, and all my planning ways, will not be surprised to hear I‘ve already started collecting books for little Benjamin‘s library. ❤️

TieDyeDude 😍🤱 5mo

Clwojick I‘m definitely on the lookout for more book ideas, so if anyone has any suggestions for me to check out or add to my wishlist, please let me know! I‘ve been thrifting some books over the last few months, but it‘s mostly favourites from my childhood like Dr. Seuss, Clifford, Little Critters, and Arthur. ❤️ 5mo

Gissy Congratulations!!! 🤱🏻Don‘t worry, rest now, as much as you need to...because those first months will be “different” in your sleeping pattern😉but with love ❤️ 5mo

Texreader What news!!!! Congratulations! Thanks for sharing with us this amazing news!! My son‘s favorite books were pop-up books and books with big colorful photos of animals. He loved pretending to be a gorilla! Babies are precious and sharing books with them is the best!! I started day one and 20 years later I‘d say it was a huge factor in their successes so far. 5mo

Cupcake12 This is amazing news ❤️💕 5mo

Texreader In fact 17 year old son, who‘s nostalgic, recently was organizing his bookshelves and came to show me one of his childhood faves called “Bluebird‘s Nest.” Not to give away. Just to let me know he still has it and cherishes it. It‘s awesome, with yarn that literally builds the nest as you turn the pages. 5mo

Clwojick @Texreader Awe! I‘ll have to look that one up! Hopefully my library has it. ❤️ 5mo

Clwojick @dabbe YES! I adored Curious George too! ❤️ 5mo

The Regatta Mystery And Other Stories | Agatha Christie

pick

This is the 15th Agatha Christie book I‘ve read. Some novels, and some collections like this. These were clever. Two I actually had figured out, which I enjoy of course. #scarathlon

Surprise! Surprise! | Agatha Christie

Though the world feels like a dark, angry place these days, there are brilliant spots of light. And one of those is the unexpected arrival of an early birthday gift from halfway around the world! Thank you, Helen! I really look forward to opening this on the day. And you made my day today. 😊

Parker Pyne Investigates: A Short Story Collection | Agatha Christie

Parker Pyne Investigates isn‘t one of her better-known books. It isn't at all like Poirot or Marple, which I love, but I enjoyed every page because this was so different.

Parker Pyne Investigates: A Short Story Collection | Agatha Christie

so-so

By the end of this I was wishing for a Parker Pyne of my own, hoping to see his ad in the classifieds. These stories read like fairy tales by way of Golden Age British middle-class sensibilities: Parker Pyne is a portly fairy godmother who solves ALL of your problems. Well, all except for the one of the discontented husband! These are Christie‘s psychological stories with a twist. Some are enjoyable, some are OK; all are mostly forgettable fluff.

batsy As it turns out, I'm still making my way through the #agathachristieclub reads in chronological order. I go for months without reading a Christie & when I get the hankering for one I just look at the list & pick what's next 😆 2y

Smarkies Enjoyable but forgettable fluff. 😁 2y

batsy @Smarkies And sometimes it's just what's needed 😊 2y

charl08 I'll take a Parker Pyne in my life! How have I never heard of him? 2y

batsy @charl08 They're not her usual mysteries. But worth checking out if you're a Christie completist! 2y
