Here‘s how I did on my July #readyourkindle list. I read the 3 short stories for #noplacelikeholmes and read the short story I needed to read for #christiescapers. I read 1 book for the #naturalitsy buddy read. My goal was to read 3 ARCs. I was sent 6 digital ARCs but I read 2 of them.

For week 3, I finished reading an ARC. For week 4, I read The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd for #christiescapers. For week 5, I finished reading The Land Of Little Rain for the #naturalitsy buddy read.

I‘ve started this week‘s short story for #christiescapers because I didn‘t read it in time for Sunday‘s discussion. I‘m enjoying it. I don‘t know if I‘ll finish it before the end of the month because the month is almost over. There‘s only 3 days left of July. If I don‘t finish this book before the end of the month then I‘ll finish it next month.

I started this book yesterday after reading the short story for #noplacelikeholmes and Richard Armitage is narrating. I like when he narrates these stories. I like his voice. Richard‘s voice was keeping me company while I was coloring some pictures for 1 hour and then I decided to take a break for the rest of the day. I didn‘t read anything at all last night. I‘m looking forward to reading more of this book today.

#ChristiesCapers @Librarybelle
This detective novel is widely regarded as one of the most influential and controversial detective novels ever written. As the third novel featuring Hercule Poirot, it stands out for its innovative narrative structure, psychological depth, and groundbreaking twist ending that revolutionized the mystery genre. The novel‘s ending is legendary, shocking readers with a revelation that redefined ⬇️

dabbe the rules of detective fiction. Christie plays fair with clues but manipulates reader assumptions masterfully with her abundance of red herrings, leaving the reader truly engaged in solving this murderous puzzle. 5d
DGRachel I had to look up my review of this one and I have to say I kind of hate myself. I need to learn how to use the spoiler tags so when I say “while I wasn‘t disappointed by the reveal, I was disappointed by the ending itself. It bothers me, but I can‘t say why without spoilers, obviously” I can actually type the spoiler and REMEMBER! 🤣🤣 5d
Librarybelle Great review! 5d

dabbe @DGRachel I'd love to hear why! You can hit the “contains spoiler“ tab and tell me details! 😍 5d
DGRachel @dabbe That‘s the problem. I didn‘t know how to use a hide spoiler tag in my StoryGraph review so my review actually says something irritated me but I can‘t say what it is because it is a spoiler tag! I guess I‘ll just have to reread it and see if 7 years later, it still makes me mad. 🤣🤣🤣 5d
The_Penniless_Author @dabbe This is literally the only mystery novel where I correctly guessed the killer, and somehow I knew it only a couple of pages in (using the sister's method rather than the MC's. It was very much vibes-based; somehow, I just "knew" ?). 5d
dabbe @DGRachel 😂🩵😂 5d
dabbe @The_Penniless_Author Okay, my new nickname for you is #razorsharprandall 🤩 5d
BarbaraJean @DGRachel I can guess at why the ending bothered you because it might be the same reason it bothered me! (Aside from feeling tricked by the twist, even though as @dabbe says, Christie definitely plays fair!) Imma put my annoyance under a spoiler tag so I don't mess it up for others (or for you if you don't want to know till after you re-read!) 3d
BarbaraJean OK, the aspect of the ending that bothered me was Poirot suggesting that Sheppard should commit suicide. I HATE that “solution“ to the problem, whenever I see it. I think Christie uses it elsewhere, and I've seen Sayers do it as well, and it always bothers me. 3d
DGRachel @BarbaraJean I don‘t remember the ending, but that has to be it! That would have made me LIVID. Thank you! 3d
BarbaraJean @DGRachel Haha, you're welcome! I hate that plot point SO MUCH. 3d
lil1inblue I made the mistake of reading a Christie biography before I read this. SPOILED! I still love this book, though! 2d
dabbe @lil1inblue Ooh, that stinks! 💙😂💙 3h

I‘m behind on the #noplacelikeholmes and #christiescapers buddy reads again but I will catch up. I haven‘t read The Veiled Lodger yet. I couldn‘t participate in Saturday‘s discussion for it because I went out to lunch on Saturday with my family to celebrate our July birthdays. After I read The Adventure Of The Veiled Lodger then I‘ll start The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd but I‘m not going to be finished with it today.

The #ChristiesCapers discussion questions are posted! You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtags. This is my second favorite Christie, and I hope everyone enjoyed it!

Next month, Hastings is back with Poirot for The Big Four. Official post tomorrow! #AgathaChristieClubR3

Deblovestoread My ebook version was wacky again. so am picking up a print copy from my library Tuesday. I‘ll chime in when I finish. 5d
MallenNC @Deblovestoread Did your ebook have the page numbers/title in the middle of the screen? Mine did and it was so distracting 5d
Deblovestoread @MallenNC Yes and AgATha chrisTie (just like this) through out as well. Ridiculous! 5d
MallenNC @Deblovestoread Yes! We must have had the same version. The pagination was totally off and I don‘t know what was going on with AgATha chrisTie 5d
