Can‘t sleep, so I thought I‘d get started on my June TBR. As someone who can only tolerate Hercule Poirot in small doses, I found this little book of quotations to be perfectly delightful. I‘m afraid I‘m more Hastings than Hercule, though. 🤣 Thank you to @LeahBergen for adding this one to my collection. 💖

LeahBergen 😆😆 Oh, that was a fun swap, wasn‘t it? 4y
DGRachel @LeahBergen It was! I can‘t believe it was in 2018, though! Where has the time gone??? 4y

Christie‘s writing formula makes you think #YouWontGetFooledAgain ...until you do! My growing Christie collection (I have others on my dining room table!). #MarchIntoThe70s

Cinfhen She‘s definitely good at her craft🙌🏻 5y
laur89 😍 Jealous of that collection! Do you have any favorites? 5y
Librarybelle @laur89 My favorite is And Then There Were None. I also really enjoyed Murder at the Vicarage, Crooked House (which is not pictured but I have a copy), and The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I‘m slowly reading through each of her books in publication order. It‘s been interesting to see her develop her craft! 5y
laur89 I‘m going to add those to the TBR! I‘ve only read And Then There Were None from that list. I‘ve read a few of her novels, but in no particular order. 5y
Librarybelle @laur89 ❤️❤️❤️ 5y

Intriguing video on PBS about the life of Christie. In particular, I‘m interested in the cover artist. I always want to know about the cover...books and albums.

In younger years I didn't like Poirot. His arrogance annoyed me and I was influenced by some film adaptations (Peter Ustinov (who is a great actor, but for me not Poirot)), that didn't fit my imagination.
This little book is divided in 12 chapters. Every chapter deals with one subject and Poirot's best quotes are mentioned.

In nowadays I like the little man, mostly he's the one, you can believe in, when everything else is getting worse.

JazzFeathers I've had the same experience. When l read Poirot novels as a kid, l really didn't like like him. Now l do appreciate him 😊 6y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag David Suchet made me love Poirot, I was not overly fond of him to begin with (and Captain Hastings almost always drives me insane) 6y
Sarah83 @JazzFeathers so we think the same. 😍 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I really love Suchet playing Poirot. He does a great job. 6y

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Sarah83, he is Poirot! ☺️ it‘s going to be weird as seeing a different actor play him in the new Murder on the Orient Express... 6y
Sarah83 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag you are so right. Even if I like Kenneth I can't imagine him as Poirot... 6y
Gissy One of his phrases was "that he was the humblest of the humbles", such a humble guy ☺️ 6y
Sarah83 @Gissy yes indeed 6y

The only advantage over an argument with bf is, that afterwards you get a lot of reading done. Everyone sits in his rooms and doesn't speak a word.

Moray_Reads Oh dear 😓 I love your book cover/bookmark though! 6y
rabbitprincess I am sorry to hear about the argument. Hope everything works out and that Poirot cheers you up in the meantime. 6y
Sarah83 @Moray_Reads when I read, he interrupts me every time, do I interrupt him while playing computer games, he starts screaming. Every time the same. 6y

Sarah83 @rabbitprincess thank you. Poirot is always great. 🤗 6y
Moray_Reads @Sarah83 That's really frustrating. I'd definitely take some quiet time for myself until it blows over ❤ 6y
Sarah83 @Moray_Reads that's what I am trying to do. 😘 6y
Kaylamburson I completely get that argument, @sarah83. I hope things blow over (after you have the chance to finish a few chapters 😉) 6y
Sarah83 @Kaylamburson sounds great. Now he's going to work and there is silence. 😏 The book contains the best Poirot quotes. 6y
Kaylamburson Ha perfect! The package is so cute! Love the little bookmark, too! 6y
Gissy Like the bookmark! 6y
Sarah83 @Kaylamburson @Gissy it is one of my favourite bookmarks at the moment. 😂 6y
Bambolina_81 💟 awesome bookmark!!! I'm going to look at some more of them online 😂 6y
Sarah83 @Bambolina_81 on your card with your bookmarks is the shop name printed. I got them at Etsy. 😍 6y

I decided to include a spending tracker to see how much I actually spend on books in a year.

TrishB Oh god that would be my worst nightmare 😄😄 7y
TheLibrarian My fiancé told me to do this too and it's making me a little embarrassed how much I spend! Very eye opening. 7y
KtheBookwyrm @TrishB @TheLibrarian I buy 90% of my books from places like half price or goodwill so that helps because I tend to buy books in batches 7y
TrishB I think I will choose to remain ignorant 😀! 7y
398.2 Ya....this would probably just make me sad lol but... I ll have books to make me feel better 7y

Never really cared much for Hastings, and was rather relieved when Christie didn't persist with him as time went on, but when he plays the role of recipient of Poirot's jibes...
