I just started listening to this book for the #christiescapers buddy read. I like it so far.

Another belated review… this was the #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 pick for February.

I was excited to read this because I hadn‘t read any of the Tommy & Tuppence books before, and it was such fun—in spite of the more improbable & unrealistic aspects of the plot! Both Tommy & Tuppence annoyed me a little at times, but I did enjoy their youthful energy and banter—as well as seeing Agatha Christie write younger protagonists. ⤵️

No idea why my ebook is marked as Hercule Poirot mystery. 🧐 It is definitely not one. Language-wise it had been quite challenging for me as non-native English speaker & very interesting as an English teacher because I had to look up many words which I feel broadened my knowledge and horizon. That‘s something that normally does not happen with Poirot. Content-wise it was a 50-50 chance of who is the culprit short after the beginning. Of course I…

My first Agatha Christie read! I rather liked it.

If you love Nick & Nora from THE THIN MAN, you'll adore Tommy & Tuppence. While they are not professional detectives but ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances, T&T's banter, resourcefulness, and camaraderie make them endearing, and their dynamic adds a lightheartedness to the story that contrasts with the high-stakes espionage (and at times, contrived) plot. Overall, a riveting and fun mystery read.

Slowly, so very slowly, catching up on buddy reads and other books. I finished this one tonight, and maybe the third time is the charm—I appreciated Tommy and Tuppence a bit more with this reading than I did the prior two times. Perhaps I needed an off-the-wall pair of unlikely detectives.

It just goes to show how you can have a different reading experience each time you reread a book. #ChristiesCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

January And February #serieslove2025 #wrapup

Off to a decent start this year, getting in two titles so far.

February reading wrap. A very slow month.
Rebecca the #booksnake only got 4 new stripes this month after a whopping 10 last month.
