Pickpick

5⭐️ A 40 year old skeleton of a child is found buried in a root cellar. The quiet community of King‘s Cove is stunned. Lane calls Inspector Darling to help solve the mystery and put the bones to rest. As the community grapples with the idea a killer is among them, Darling begins to realize how invaluable Lane‘s former intelligence background is.

• Changing it up with some tea tonight instead of coffee. Really feels like a compromise! Here‘s hoping my tea hasn‘t been poisoned ☠️ Oh well, it‘s pretty good so I‘m drinking it anyway ⚰️ haha 😆 •

The last of my crazy Christie buying spree in June arrived. The 2 that are larger trim sizes slightly annoy me (I clearly made assumptions. 😣) but these all sound good. Need more time to read ALL the books!

MayJasper Why would they print two larger? Annoying 7y

Kalalalatja Why is it so difficult for publishers to keep books the same size?? 🙄 7y
Jess_Read_This 🙌🏼😍❤️❤️❤️Love these!!! Every cover is so pretty. 7y
HKGirl 😍😍😍 The nice thing about Christie is that they're fast reads! 7y
Jaimelire 😍 I'm jealous. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm Love the covers, but oh, annoying sizes! 7y
LeahBergen Oooo!! 7y
Sarah83 I'm still wondering, that some covers are the same in English and German edition and some are so different 🤔 7y

Just playing around stacking my Agatha Christies in rainbow order. Same stack in both images - I just tried to get cute with shadows 😉

howjessicareads Those are super cute editions! I only own a half dozen or so, and mine are all falling to bits. 7y
BookmarkTavern ❤️These are the same edition that I'm collecting! Clearly, you have excellent taste. (edited) 7y

rubyslippersreads Lovely! 📚🌈 7y
alisiakae Your editions are lovely! Mine are all old and dog-eared with browning pages. 7y
Jennick2004 Beauties! 7y
elkeOriginal @4thhouseontheleft Those sound lovely in their own way too! (edited) 7y
Lizpixie I should do this with mine! At the moment, they're just put in in the order I read them which was random. Thanks for the idea👍😘 7y
alisiakae @elkeo they are! I found most of them at thrift shops and used bookstores. 😊except for the browning pages....that's a bit bothersome when they become brittle and just a little musty smelling! (edited) 7y
Dragon ❤️ your Christie's! 7y
Sarah83 Did my parcel arrive at your place? 7y
elkeOriginal @Sarah83 Not yet! I will post when it does! 7y
Sarah83 I'm wondering, because on June 28th the parcel already left the custom office. 😣 7y
elkeOriginal @Sarah83 Even when I ship to Canada sometimes there are many days of waiting after the customs office clears. I will let you know when I get it! 7y
Jaimelire Drool...what an awesome stack of great books! ❤️Agatha C. 7y

My collection of #AgathaChristie is coming along nicely thanks to suggestions from Littens! A few more on the way before my book ban sets in tomorrow 😬
Ready to start the #AgathaChristieClub! And get these read.
#christiecrimeclub #murdermostfoul

Aninski Such a nice collection! 😍 I hadn't heard about the club, I'm totally joining this! I haven't read a Christie book in at least 15 years 🤔 7y
aeeklund There's a what now?? 7y
elkeOriginal @Aninski The club is going in chronological order - follow @Bambolina_81 for details! I haven't read any since I was a teen and am looking forward to this nudge to get into her again 📚💕 7y

elkeOriginal @aeeklund go look at @Bambolina_81 for details - club is doing readalong with one Christie a month in chronological order 📚📚 7y
aeeklund @elkeo @Bambolina_81 *dusts off Christie shelf* I am IN. 7y
brennahawleycraig So neat!! If I hadn't started my own similar process last year I would join in! 7y
elkeOriginal @aeeklund 👏👏👏I am embarrassed I did not yet have a Christie shelf! 7y
aeeklund @elkeo I was kind of raised on them. I think I'd tracked them all down and read them by the time I was in my late teens. It was a family thing. I love, love, LOVE her books. And plays. 7y
elkeOriginal @aeeklund It will be fun to see your covers! I read some in my teens but was more obsessed by James Bond because I could talk to my dad about those. No one read Christie in my fam. Losers 😉 (edited) 7y
batsy Nice! The other I spotted Elephants Can Remember and thought, oh my that's another one I haven't read. Will go back next week to get it 🤗 7y
Lizpixie Are you reading them in publishing order, by Poirot, Marple, Other order, or are you just picking up the ones that look good first? I highly recommend Taken At The Flood & Death On The Nile if that's the case. Happy Dame Agatha reading @elkeo 👌🔪🔫⚗️💰 7y
Lizpixie Ooh, and Five Little Pigs, I love that one. 7y
Lizpixie And Hallowe'en Party too. Plus Body In The Library for Marple. 7y
elkeOriginal @Lizpixie I am joining the Christie reading club who are going in order but I think I may read others along the way - so your suggestions are noted! 7y
Lizpixie @elkeo what is this Christie Reading Club of which you speak, and why am I not in it?😊 7y
elkeOriginal @Lizpixie check out @Bambolina_81 - she is organizing a Christie club. 1 book per month in pub order. Styles is July! 7y
Lizpixie Awesome! Thank you, I'll definitely be joining in, though I think Mysterious Affair At Styles is one of the few Dame Agathas I don't have. Looks like another book haul is in order😉 7y
elkeOriginal That's great! I am surprised there are any you don't have though! 7y
JazzFeathers I don't own any Chritie's book 😶 But l'm joining the club, so l suppose l'm going to become a owner 😏 7y
Bambolina_81 I love all this Christie buzz!! Thanks for all being so interested 😊 7y
Jess_Read_This I love the cover of that Bertram's Hotel ❤️😍❤️ 7y
Reviewsbylola Book ban!?! 7y
elkeOriginal @Reviewsbylola Dude, I need to get this under control. Self-imposed July book buying ban. I did place an order at midnight last night so let's see if I can do this... 7y
Reviewsbylola 😂😂 I think I'll join you! And I ordered my BOTM at 9PM last night so you're not alone. 7y
elkeOriginal @Reviewsbylola 🙌🙌🙌 caveat: standing subscription boxes do not count 😉 7y
Reviewsbylola Even if you add books on to said subscription account? I have two subscriptions but ended up with five books. 😂 7y
elkeOriginal @Reviewsbylola Ok, I think you cheated 🤣👏 7y

🤦🏽‍♀️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

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
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

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

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 ❄️❄️❄️ 7y
thebookdiviner I've only read a couple of Christie's books (and loved them) but I absolutely adore the Poirot movies 7y
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) 7y
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! 7y
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! 7y
Cinfhen I know there are tons of Littens drooling right now 😉💕 7y
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. 7y
