Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m about to go see the mousetrap (for the third time!) with my family later this month so I thought it would be a perfect time to read the playscript for #scarathlon. Everything about this makes me feel nostalgic and cosy - I associate Agatha Christie with my grandma so much so it‘s a perfect cosy Halloween vibe.

Mousetrap is a favourite play that‘s based on an Agatha Christie story. My favourite tipple is Diet Pepsi. I‘m a day late - 💚🐉 #marchmadness #dailychallenge

We are living in this big air conditioned room as the temp & humidity keeps climbing. Can‘t you tell by the mess on our table???! Anyway, this was the first Christie book for me when I was about 12. My first reread since then- I did not remember anything but the setting. So it felt cozy/fun/nostalgic. My dad, an avid reader, introduced me to her.

Last week, I went to a public library for the first time since January 2020 and it was glorious. I managed to finish Mousetrap before switching over to my book club book, so the rest of the stack has been taunting me 🥺 #libraryhaul #bookstack

First time reading an Agatha Christie book. I‘m not the kind to read much like these, but I gave it a try! This book, among other by Christie, I gave as gifts to my grandmother before she passed away in 2018. She loved mysteries, thrillers, and all that jazz, and I‘m the total opposite, lol. But I enjoyed this one and the short stories in it so much more than what I had expected. I will continue to read my grandma‘s books✨

I had “lost” this book (left it at my boyfriend‘s house a long time ago😹) and now is back in my hands✨

I really enjoyed this short story collection because they were all solid mysteries. The title story is more of a novella. There‘s 4 Miss Marple, 3 Poirot, & 1 Mr. Quin after that. This is one of Christie‘s better books. #teamslaughter #scarathlon @Clwojick 136 points

Got company to read🥰

One from last night✨

My grandma passed away two years ago and this is one of the last books I was able to buy her. She was a huge mystery and thriller genre lover while I, on the other hand, not much😹 Going to finally give it a try✨

Haul from today's visit to the book fair. Lots of Agatha Christie in my future😎

“No, there was more than that. And so I thought of just one thing—the post, my friend. The evening post that comes at half past nine or thereabouts.”

Just how many times did the postman come ‘round back then? I remember getting a second post in the afternoon but never in the evening.

After reading the play I want to watch it preformed. Christie has such a way with her mysteries. Keeps me on the literal edge of my seat every time.

My mom saw the play, then read the book. Now she wants me to determine what happened to the two ‘missing‘ characters. I don‘t know about anyone else, but my track record of solving AC (the OG) mysteries is not good!

At the mousetrap for the 2nd time! I came when I was about 15, I loved it so much, it‘s been almost 7 years so it‘s great to know Who Did It but not most of the plot. So I can see all the little hints I didn‘t see the first time. I‘m with a friend who‘s never seen it so it‘s fun to watch him watch it too!

Agatha Christie is just my whole childhood and comfort to me. Watching this on a cold night is like being wrapped up in a warm blanket.

Visited our library yesterday for the first time since it was renovated. This is one of the reading rooms! Fantastic place! Even found copies of The Mousetrap and Death on the Nile screenplays that were checked out back in 1962!!

My very first Christie read. The lead story, “Three Blind Mice,” is set during a vicious snowstorm...and a killer is on the loose. The first line pictured. #BabyItsColdOutside #WinterWonderland

Incidentally, reading this roughly 25 years ago turned me into an Agatha Christie fan for life!

I know who did it! Agatha Christie never disappoints. Love all her books and plays.

All of my reading has paid off! $75 to be exact. 😉

I somehow managed to read 17 books this summer, so all those entries helped me to win the grand prize drawing for our local library's reading program!

Wow! #agathachristie #crime

Tonight's plan 👍 tickets for #agathachristie The Mousetrap 😊 #theatre #play #crime #periodpiece

So not quite a #petsoflitsy post, but a new lemur was born at the Duke Lemur Center, and they named her #AgathaChristie!!!

I was lucky enough to go and see Agatha Christie's Mousetrap this month and it was brilliant! I would highly recommend any Christie fans to go and see it. It was a different theatre experience which I really enjoyed! #whodunnit

Happy Birthday, Agatha Christie! #OOPquote

Have to give a shout out to my favorite mystery bookstore! New and used books. Knowledgeable staff, and amazing owners Jamie and Robin. Aunt Agatha's is in Ann Arbor, MI. #getindie
