Checking out the background information on The Murder on the Links. It is weird to not read the teo books right away, but to read them chapter-wise after every Poirot novel - definitely not my typical type of reading.

Reading the background information on Styles. A few weeks ago I bought the new „Poirot“ by Aldrigde only to realize I have an older version of this kind of background info book by Anne Hart already on my bookshelf. 🙈🙈🙈 Okay, this way I can check out the development of the Agatha Christie research from 1990 to 2022. 😜 #offtheshelf

“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

Given the on-going Canada Post strike I have had the #jolabokaflodswap package sent directly via Amazon to my match. Takes away some of the fun, but they are on their way! (And should be in gift bags.) Christmas baking prep picture for interest.

KadaGul @CuriousG Thats a Great Idea 💡 to use other shipping methods for Canadian Littens. 🫡🫶👍 4mo
CuriousG @KadaGul Although not as fun as assembling and shipping, it at least gets the job done! 4mo

Ordeal by Innocence | Agatha Christie

Mehso-so

I'm not a huge fan of this one. I appreciate the idea that revealing a truth can injure those who are innocent, but there are a lot of strange ideas here about creating a family through adoption and about maternal instinct and about women---especially middle-aged women---that I have trouble getting past. (I was going to say the ideas about women are outdated, but in the current climate, it's clear that a lot of these ideas are still thriving.)

Faranae This book is just one giant heap of Agatha Christie's hangups, from motherhood right through to eugenics. 😬 (There's probably a reason her daughter seems to have preferred Archie, even though Agatha fans tend to see him entirely as a villain...) 5mo

Absent in the Spring | Mary Westmacott
post image

Seasonal Recs! #ihavequestions

Spring: Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott/Agatha Christie—It‘s in the title…😁
Summer: Mama Day by Gloria Naylor—major summer vibes: like a powerful, looming summer thunderstorm
Fall: Peace Like a River by Leif Enger—fall vibes, with a journey across the frozen Badlands
Winter: The Historian—I read this in winter in Germany so it‘s forever associated with snowy landscapes (and very effective blackout shutters)

RaeLovesToRead Thanks so much for the double play!!! 💕💕😁 7mo
Ruthiella @BarbaraJean Oh! Absent in the Spring is the best Agatha Christie writing as Mary Westmacott novel IMO. 👍 7mo
BarbaraJean @RaeLovesToRead Haha…you‘re welcome! @Ruthiella I thought so, too—although I was impressed with so many of the Westmacott novels! 7mo

The Hound of Death | Agatha Christie

Another Lady Agatha short story collection, but this one seems a little different, probably because there is not a lot of murders and mystery solving, more some strange situations.
