batsy @Sarah83 Nice! I remember you posting about it ☺️ @LeahBergen We're incorrigible 😂 6y

Jess_Read_This @batsy @LeahBergen So if I get distracted and this one falls to the wayside, it‘s completely forgivable? 😂 6y

batsy Absolutely! No judgment from me 😂 6y

LeahBergen What a nice Sayers! 7y

Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen Thank you! It was the first Sayers book I ever bought and led to a great many more... but this one is my prettiest book of hers I own. 7y

Postern of Fate: A Tommy and Tuppence Mystery | Agatha Christie

🤦🏽‍♀️Came home to this remnant of my vintage Agatha Christie novel. I don't think Agatha Christie was prepared for the likes of a super villain like Gatsby.

I saved the Littens from the raw, carnage photo of the fresh murder scene. ☠️📖☠️#RIPBook

DebinHawaii Someone looks a bit guilty. 😱🐶 7y

DGRachel 😱 7y

Leftcoastzen Oh no! It's a good thing that we love them enough to forgive them. 7y

My_novel_obsession 😳oh dear! But what a face!!! (edited) 7y

batsy Oh no! Look at that face! Too cute! But oh God not a vintage Christie! *so many feelings* 7y

britt_brooke 😱😱😱 But look how cute! 💚 7y

BostonBookAddict But look at that face! So adorable! And I am saying that because that is not my dog. If it was I would not be happy with him lol 7y

GRThomas2014 Oh dear... naughty pup 😱😂 7y

LaraReads Oh no! But look at that sweet face! How do you punish that?! 7y

LeahBergen Oh no! 😂 7y

OrangeMooseReads Oh no! 7y

Leftcoastzen Love his name!😃 7y

ValerieAndBooks Oh no!! Many feel that the Tommy and Tuppence books are inferior Christies; Gatsby must agree (but he went overboard with that sentiment 😱)! 7y

Rachel_R._Smith Oh no! The Tommy and Tuppence novels are among my favorites of hers! Good taste Gatsby, but when we talk about devouring novels, we don't mean it literally! 😭 7y

Louise This reminds me of Mark Strand's lovely poem "Eating Poetry": I. . . bark. I romp with joy in the bookish dark! ? 7y

Izai.Amorim Oh boy, your dog would make a great literary critic, this ability to tear up a book and still look so innocent 😇 7y

elliemcc11 Oh No! He does look sort of "sorry mum, didn't mean it" ? 7y

Jess_Read_This @hermyknee @Laura317 @Mimi28 @DGRachel @Leftcoastzen @Anovelobsession @batsy @britt_brooke @BostonBookAddict @GRThomas2014 @LeahBergen @OrangeMooseReads @elliemcc11 He's such a sensitive soul all I had to do was say "Oh no... this is bad" and he ran from the room. At least he left the pile of library books next to it alone! That would have been pricey! This was the first time he has ever destroyed a book though.. ??‍♀️ 7y

Jess_Read_This @LaraReads He's so sensitive just having a disapproving tone of voice makes him run from the room... I can never stay irritated long with him. He's such a sweetie. 7y

Jess_Read_This @ValerieAndBooks He's got discerning tastes apparently... 😳 I guess he thought I needn't bother with that one! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Rachel_R._Smith He definitely has it out for Tommy and Tuppence! 7y

Jess_Read_This @Louise Ha!! 😂Much romping was done while I was at work. 7y

Jess_Read_This @Izai.Amorim I'm sure all the great publishing houses will line up to see if their books pass his "Book Survivor Test" ? 7y

Hercule Poirot: The Complete Short Stories | Agatha Christie

"It is the brain, the little gray cells on which one must rely. One must seek the truth within--not without." ~ Poirot

"Put that in your mustache and smoke it." ?

"I do not argue with obstinate men. I act in spite of them."

?Poirot is just magnificent.?

JazzFeathers What a beautifully vintage edition 😆💙 8y

Jess_Read_This @JazzFeathers Thank you! The side of the top box set was too neat not to share! 🖤 8y

erzascarletbookgasm These are gems 😍 8y

Cathythoughts We just read Evil Under The Sun for our Bookclub. And planning a trip to the cinema for Murder On The Orient Express. I believe Ragnar Jonasson is very inspired by Agatha ( makes perfect sense) trapped by snow ❄️❄️❄️ 8y

thebookdiviner I've only read a couple of Christie's books (and loved them) but I absolutely adore the Poirot movies 8y

Jess_Read_This @erzascarletbookgasm Thank you! Can you believe the bottom box was given to me by a coworker from her mother's book collection? And the top box I found still sealed at a thrift store for $.40?!!! (edited) 8y

Jess_Read_This @Cathythoughts How neat! Your bookclub sounds like a great one to be a part of! Jonasson is definitely inspired by Agatha Christie- I see similar elements in plot craftsmanship. He translates her books into Icelandic. I read an interview where he said it can be a struggle at time to translate because some words in her books do not have an Icelandic equivalent. So interesting! 8y

Jess_Read_This @thebookdiviner I'm still a relative Agatha Christie newbie and haven't read nearly all her stuff. I love the movies though too and the Masterpiece Miss Marples! 8y

Cinfhen I know there are tons of Littens drooling right now 😉💕 8y

elliemcc11 I need to take a photo of my vintage Christie collection. I went through a stage of collecting very specific ones in terms of the graphics on the front cover. 8y

The Corpse in the Crimson Slippers | Robert Alfred John Walling

Per Kirkus Reviews: "One of the best of the Tolefree tales. Mystery within mystery, all centering around a cryptogram, the murder of the wrong man, a gang of counterfeiters, and so on."

?This sounds like a #WhoDunitWednesday read I can get behind. I initially bought it based on the title and cover alone. ?

#Mystery #VintageBook #HasThereBeenAMurder #Kirkus #KirkusReviews

LeahBergen Fabulous cover!! 😍 8y

rabbitprincess That is an awesome title! 8y

batsy Oh yeah, that title and cover! 8y

elliemcc11 Written some others with great titles as well. The cover is fab 📚 8y

Jess_Read_This @LeahBergen @rabbitprincess @batsy @elliemcc11 Thank you!! I thought it sounded super interesting! 8y

Snowblind | Quentin Bates, Ragnar Jonasson

Ari Thor is shaping up to be a new bookcrush candidate. I'm about 70 pages in. Jonasson's storytelling ability is outstanding. He's slowly building the plot and introducing the characters with a deliberate intent. I am loving it. ❄️

elliemcc11 I got this pre-publication and never quite managed to finish it...not sure why though. 8y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 I just finished it and really enjoyed it! I'm already looking into getting the second one! 8y

elliemcc11 Maybe I wasn't in a reading mood...I just can't remember now 🤔 8y

See All 9 Comments

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 I've had those moods! I found this one to be very character driven and the plot moved along in the background. Which is completely opposite of a lot of crime fiction I've read before. 8y

elliemcc11 I usually love Scandinavian crime novels as well! 8y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 This one was my first! Have you read Sarah Blaedel? I saw he had one of her books posted on his IG page 8y

elliemcc11 I haven't as yet but have one waiting in the wings. I think she's Danish. 8y

Jess_Read_This @elliemcc11 Let me know if you get to it, I'd love to hear your thoughts on her books! I'm hoping I can find a copy at the library here. 8y

elliemcc11 I'll see if I can find it in my shelves and will post a pic. I've read quite a few Scandinavian so happy to recommend. Some are easy reads and usually have good characters to get into. 8y
