Lord Edgware Dies: A Hercule Poirot Mystery | Agatha Christie

pick

I last read this two years ago for a #maidensofmurder readalong on Instagram. Now I want to get back to the chronological order of the #agathachristieclub because I fell off the wagon for a bit! (Hope @Bambolina_81 is doing OK, btw.) I'm happy that I remembered whodunit this time ? Hastings was praised by Poirot for being bang average, lol & Poirot was as obnoxiously cryptic as ever—"the torn page, of course!", etc. Fun & snarky; a good read.

Kalalalatja Delicious set up you got there 😍 6y

Murder on the Orient Express | Agatha Christie

An hours reading and I‘m on chapter four. Hoping I can read the whole book tonight before I go to sleep but first, supper. I just realised I‘m super hungry. How bizarre. 😅 Updates as I go! I‘m really enjoying my reread so far. #currentread #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #agathachristieclub #maidensofmurder #christieclub #classiccrime #booklover #bookblogger

Murder on the Orient Express | Agatha Christie

I am weak for Agatha Christie, and especially Poirot so please excuse me Nelly Dean while I have an affair with Murder on the Orient Express! It‘s a re-read but it was calling me so this is my evening booked. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #agathachristieclub #maidensofmurder #queenofcrime #christieclub #classic #classiccrime #booklover #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile #bookishbath

ephemeralwaltz Enjoy!! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @ephemeralwaltz It was my second and I loved it. My first was And Then There Were None. Xx 8y

ephemeralwaltz I think that was my second! Haha!! Xxx 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @ephemeralwaltz 😹😹💛 8y

charissharpe Love Agatha, and I really enjoyed the film! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @conversationswithcharis I haven‘t seen the film yet but this is one of my favourite Christie‘s. She‘s my favourite x 8y

charissharpe It‘s so good, very suspenseful and Kenneth Branagh is a surprisingly good Poirot! 8y

Appointment with Death (Poirot) | Agatha Christie

Decided to read some Christie for the rest of the #25inFive readathon (with my Miss Marple bookmark because my mother dropped my beloved Poirot one in her cola...)😰 Christie is very much a favourite author, like Top Three, and sometimes I get withdrawal from reading her. Any fans? 🤗 #agathachristie #dameagathachristie #murdermystery #crime #classiccrime #poirot #booklover #bookblogger #maidensofmurder #queenofcrime

Jabberwocky Such a cute bookmark!! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @Jabberwocky Thank you Ariel. It‘s from JanesTinyThings on Etsy xx 8y

Jabberwocky I‘m always on the lookout! Thank you! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @Jabberwocky You‘re welcome. The shipping is a bit steep but the bookmarks themselves are that cheap it‘s not so bad. Durable too. 8y

Andrew65 A great choice! 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @Andrew65 Ah! Thank you Andrew. Are you a fan? 😁 8y

Andrew65 @Wanderingwithwords I enjoy her books but there are a number I still have to read. Love

And Then There Were None

alisiakae That bookmark!! 💙💜💙💜 You‘ll find a lot of fans through #agathachristieclub (edited) 8y

Sophoclessweetheart @4thhouseontheleft Wonderful! I love that. Thank you for the heads up x 8y

Five Little Pigs | Agatha Christie

#BooksYouReread #AllTheBooksof2017

Read Much Ado About Nothing with the delightful #ShakespeareReadAlong gang and The Secret History for the #readingenvyreadalong. Both were a blast and the discussions were fun and insightful . Reread the Christies for #maidensofmurder on Instagram, but as soon as I heard about Litsy's own #agathachristieclub I ditched the maidens faster than Hastings can figure out what Poirot is up to 😂 ❤️

RohitSawant Poor Hastings 😂 8y

The Secret Adversary | Agatha Christie

#agathachristieclub

Calling all Agatha Christie Clubbers! How are you finding this month's book The Secret Adversary?

It's certainly reads at a different pace to the others I have read. I can't help but read the dialogue with a strong plummy British accent!

Cathythoughts Go Agatha !! 8y

Bambolina_81 @Cathythoughts I love this quotation 😁 8y

bobregina The accent is inevitable 😂😂 8y

bobregina I'm not a big fan of Tommy and Tuppence, but this was the only book I read. I hope I change my mind for the next one! Anyway I love Agatha's writing, so it was a good book 📚 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @bobregina, I quite like T&T (couldn't bring myself to watch the latest TV movies tho - David Walliams 🤢) I like that we see them at different life stages over 4 novels... 8y

JazzFeathers I haven't read it yet. Need to read a netgalley arc before it expires, then l'll be onto this novel 😊 8y

Bambolina_81 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I feel exactly the same about Walliams. I think there was a 'And Then There Were None' adaptation with Aiden Turner though...🤔...perhaps I'll have a little letch and see if I can find..I mean a little 'look' for it 😂🤣😂 8y

Sarah83 So I didn't like it as much as I like the ones with Miss Marple and Poirot. But I remember, when I was younger, I didn't like Poirot as well. So I'll give the second book a try and have a look, if I like this one more. 😃 8y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I have such mixed feelings about him in general (a work colleague recently suggested that he was like Roald Dahl and I said NOoO with such horror that the statement was retracted...) he generally seems like a huge pain in the arse (I watch a lot of British panel shows on YouTube) so yeah - couldn't bring myself to watch him in some of my favourite AC books. I've seen the adaptation you speak of... it's a mini series and very good! 🤤🤤🤤 (edited) 8y

cobwebmoth I had never read a Tommy and Tuppence book before, so I didn't have any expectations. It's very different from her other stories, but I still liked it. I enjoyed the dialogue between them. 8y

Rachellynnwright I agree with you @cobwebmoth , I'm new to Agatha and didn't know what to expect, but so far I've liked both stories. I'm looking forward to Mrs. Marple! 8y

bobregina @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I saw the TV movies and I liked it. The books are great, just like all of her works. But I prefer Poirot or Miss Marple as characters! 8y

Dragon I got sidetracked so I haven't finished my reread. Tommy and Tuppence were my favourites as a teen , but Hercule Poirot is now my favourite with Miss Marple a close second. 8y

batsy I used to hate the Tommy and Tuppence books. I read this for the second time a few months earlier for the #maidensofmurder readalong on Instagram (which I promptly abandoned for our Litsy Christie group ?). I liked it better this time around but I'm not so fond of the element of whimsy or cutesiness that these books tend to have. Also the "rah-rah yay for the British empire!" politics I could do without ? 8y

SilversReviews Love the quote. 8y

Dumb Witness: A Hercule Poirot Mystery | Agatha Christie

pick

This is one of my favorite Christie books, especially as it features Bob the Dog 🐶 I think my favorite thing about it is that Poirot has to solve a murder after receiving a letter from the victim, and having to prove that it was murder.
