2. 20s - I never realized how free I truly was until they were over
3. Pompeii by Bastille (Nostalgia is hitting hard these days)

Tagged book is my most recent read!

Hope some of the people I tagged can play along! (Sorry if you‘ve already been tagged by someone else!)

Honestly, I put this book down for a couple of months because I thought it wasn‘t as fast paced as a Hercule Poirot novel, but I picked it back up a couple of days ago and have totally changed my mind! I couldn‘t put it down!

I will definitely be reading more Miss Marple mysteries!

This kindle edition of the tagged book is weird. On page 36 there was an author pic of Agatha and I thought ‘sloppy editing‘. Now there are different pics on pages 79 and 114, does that mean it‘s intentional? Is so, I don‘t think I like it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Librarybelle That is so bizarre! I would not like that either. 15h
Bookwormjillk I had a copy of the Bell Jar that was funky like that once and Amazon took it away and refunded my money because they said it was unauthorized! 15h

I liked the idea that a staged murder could be used for a real one and I completely understood that Ariadne Oliver got freaked out of that thought and called her buddy Poirot to come over and find out about it. Writing murder mysteries and ending up being in one is another pair of shoes. 😂😂😂

We‘re a week away from our next #ChristiesCapers discussion! I‘ve seen some good reviews posted so far; this one does get mixed reviews by Christie lovers. I like this one and plan to reread it this week to have it fresh in my mind for next Sunday.

Discussion questions will be posted by 12pm US East Coast time on the 29th! #AgathaChristieClubR3

Is was rereading this collection of Poirot short stories for the #christiescrapers. Even though I remember reading most of them, I came across some stories that I didn‘t, e.g. A phone call from a dying man. It was definitely worth rereading and I enjoyed it very much.

Who is who and what the heck is what? All deception and twists.

A Caribbean Mystery | Agatha Christie

Today was horrid. Just too much going on. In between everything I looked at a house to rent, and my partner liked it (over video call) so that was not bad, but then the late afternoon was full of the stress of trying to get the application in on time. 🤞 Hoping I didn't just waste my money! I didn't get my walk in and my evening was mostly just spent in bed so far so I'm feeling pretty useless.

MommyWantsToReadHerBook Not Rosemary Leach but the narrator is pretty good as well 1w
ChaoticMissAdventures So sorry to hear! Hoping you can sink into good books and that housing gets sorted soon. 1w
BarbaraJean 😔 I'm so sorry it was such a terrible day! I hope the application turns out to be worthwhile! Glad for the tonic of a good book! 1w

At Bertram's Hotel | Agatha Christie

I seem to have become someone who enjoys audiobooks 🙂 I happened upon the Agatha Christies narrated beautifully by Rosemary Leach and they are very soothing on days that I'm so exhausted I can barely read. Work has been rough! I'm on leave in 2 weeks but so much still needs to be done before then. I haven't read Bertram's Hotel in years and it's been really enjoyable although I remember now why I probably kept skipping it.
