Welcome to Litsy!

Having such fun reading this tonight! #ChristieCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3

My plans for #hyggehourreadathon
Thanksgiving to #foodandlit #Netherlands in January, I am thoroughly addicted to Stroopwsfels with coffee. This one is honey & vanilla bourbon. It‘s a night for candles-those pictured are courtesy of @dabbe As always,my cozy reading chair with pillows & blankets. Not pictured are Em & Poe, who usually join me. Contentment!

Bedtime reading:The Secret Adversary #ChristieCapers

A #shelfie of my Agatha Christie collection.
I love vintage paperbacks. I‘m always on the lookout for more.
The #christiescapers #AgathaChristieClubR3 should help me work through my collection ( I also have a ton on my kindle).

Reading the background information on Styles. A few weeks ago I bought the new „Poirot“ by Aldrigde only to realize I have an older version of this kind of background info book by Anne Hart already on my bookshelf. 🙈🙈🙈 Okay, this way I can check out the development of the Agatha Christie research from 1990 to 2022. 😜 #offtheshelf

October ‘24 I had a record 5 5⭐️ reads! Love those kinds of months. 😊

I picked Cambridge‘s as my favorite as it was a wonderful addition in the Phyllida Bright series. Lots of forward movement and an excellently plotted mystery.

A book on the poisons featured in Agatha Christie novels. It was a really fascinating read.

“But Hester, I‘m years older than you are. You can‘t really—“
“That is—if you want me,” said Hester with sudden doubt.
“Oh, I want you!” said Arthur Calgary.

I'm not a huge fan of this one. I appreciate the idea that revealing a truth can injure those who are innocent, but there are a lot of strange ideas here about creating a family through adoption and about maternal instinct and about women---especially middle-aged women---that I have trouble getting past. (I was going to say the ideas about women are outdated, but in the current climate, it's clear that a lot of these ideas are still thriving.)

Another long review, another 5⭐️…I could get used to this. 😂
