Currently finding loads of these at the library that I haven‘t read! Thrilled as I love Maigret.

I enjoyed reading this, full of magic, assassination plots, Celtic gods, singing magic and libraries. Not sure what book 2 will be about, but will check@it out! #magic #bookoftheday #midnightqueen #assassination #singing #libraries #goodread #lovetoread

Currently reading this one on the bus (and wherever I get some quiet). Creepy, but not too creepy yet. It is intriguing and odd; and there is an archaeological dig where a body is found...

This was a brilliant read, weirdly wonderful and beautifully written. All about magic both real and conjured. It's set in the now (America) but weaves various threads through the past, both there and in England and Ireland. #magic #myth #mystery #witches #enchantment #forests

Couldn't get hold of a Miss Marple... this is just as fun though! I'd forgotten how whimsical these books are. This is more of a spy novel than I detective story, written in an era when you could just go abroad as a companion on a whim! Easy, fun read. #agathachristie #spy #detective #murder #booklover #readingalone

Very comprehensive and approachable book about migraines... does what says on the cover. Really good, if like me you suffer, and are trying to find out more about them. #science #book #library #popularscience #migraine #oliversacks #readingheadache

Second book from the library, continuing my revisit of the Miss Marple stories! Not totally in sequence, but you read what you can get from the library! Brilliant, loved it. Gripped from the start and I find myself wanting a quiet English village with scandal to live in!! #missmarple #booklover #murder #crime #vintage #memories #librarybook #library

Didn't know what to expect with this one.. I admit to seeing the trailer first (but not the film). Not a big fan of back and forwards character swapping to found myself skipping bits of irrelevant dialogue to get to the end 💀🚝#girlonthetrain #crime #thriller #trains #murder #book #booklover #agirlalone

I decided to reread AC's Miss Marple series (In order they were published) after watching Margaret Rutherford b&w movies the other day with my son. Think I read them last when I was in my teens, forgot its very quintessential English air, language, AC's & Miss M's psychology of everyday people. Gonna get they all from the library... old school 😊#thegirlalone #crime #thriller #agathacristie #missmarple #whodoneit #classic
