Welcome to Litsy!

I am proud of myself that I made it through this book without flipping to the back to see the reveal, a bad habit of mine. 🤗 It was my first book with Poirot in it, and I had a lot of fun watching him interview everyone and figure things out. The story was engaging enough to break me out of a serious reading slump, though I can see where some might have found it a bit slow going. However it was perfect for me.

I quite enjoyed this "Whodunit" book from the Queen of Mystery. Now it's time to watch the movie. #agathachristie

Baking bread and listening to audiobooks. #audiobooks

Hope y'all had a great weekend. I got so much reading done & even got to see an Agatha Christie play. ❤

Little Free Library Adventure. How cute is this one? It has another compartment underneath filled with children's books! #littlefreelibrary

“If you will forgive me for being personal, I do not like your face.” 😂

I cannot lie - I stopped reading this multiple times to look up cross-country train travel. I‘m not sure what that says about me but I‘m going with it.

This was so very satisfying.

Book 7 for #14books14weeks

Thanks so much for the wonderful box @Bookwormjillk ! It looks like we had the same idea with the stroopwafels. 😂 Thanks for organizing this fun #sits #staycationintimeswap @Chrissyreadit

Set primarily on a #train, this is one of my favorite Christie novels! #letstravelaugust

I‘m currently reading the tagged book and I loved TGOTT! 📚🚆
#train #letstravelaugust

My workout is done so now I‘m gonna sit in my spot and read for a while. The tagged book is for #popsugarreadingchallenge and the other is for #lmpbc.

I listened to the Audible drama of this and what a disappointment. I love the actual book but this version was terrible. Poirot‘s accent was horrific! And so were a lot of the actors. Did not work for me.

So excited to get these later this week!!! I know everyone is loving the nightingale but has anyone read murder on the orient express?? Thoughts?

Saw this in the Litsy feed and had to give it a go. What a stress-busting way to start the day! 😍

Poirot is a savage 😂

Thunder and a murder/mystery book with my dog Romy. ❤🐕📖

My first Agatha Christie and no wonder she continues to be a favorite for readers of all genes. She caught me like a fresh fish out of water hook, line and sinker. 🐠

Now this is oozing adorableness...

Starting going to through some #audiobooks so I've been making some serious progress on #30booksin3months 📚📚📚
These last two books were finished after the start of #bfcr2 so I'm already 2/12 for my book goal!
Also already have 5 miles for the week, so hitting my 12mi goal shouldn't be a problem.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

@wanderinglynn @mcipher @DebbieGrillo @Lucy_Anywhere @BeckyB @okthislooksbad @twohectobooks

If it weren't for the last minute, I'd never get anything done!
My goal is simply to purposefully walk 10 miles per week and read 6 books.
My first book will be Murder on the Orient Express. I am super excited to listen to this as I invent read the book in ages.
Picture is one of the places I hope to explore more this week weather permitting.

My weird brain thought, it must be dreadful to encounter a dead body in a locked room while on holiday. Unless you are Hercules Poirot, of course.

Just joined up. I love this idea!! Hoping it helps to get me back on track! 🚶‍♀️📚❤

Struggling to get through this. At the end of the day she might just my be for me. I do find the audio easier to track than radio bc the voices keep me more engaged. 1st workout of #bfc week 5 in the books!

As much as I love a good whodunnit I think Agatha Christie isn‘t modern enough for me, I love the story lines but my brain drifts away in the writing. I feel like a reading fraud giving this a bad review!

Dogtective Inspector Hankule Poorot does not believe that I have not eaten the last pork chop. His sniffer tells him otherwise and he is disgusted that I did not share. #HankTheBulldog

Not sure I want a #tickettoride on this train! 😧 #beatlemaynia

Hi guys. I promise I havent forgotten about Litsy. I've been battling with some pretty bad anxiety the past two weeks that has left me literally cowering away from all social interaction. Not sure where it came from and im not sure if im in the clear since it likes to manifest out of nowhere for me but I am taking time to read after my reading hiatus. I hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday and make sure to always find time for yourself.

Truly enjoyed revisiting this book. Dan Stevens does an excellent job performing the #audiobook.

#AudioBaking in the morning.

Bank Holiday, kids still in bed, cats fed, me restless. So, I'm making strawberry cake to my grandmother's recipe. All from scratch, because my grandmother made strawberry cake on a whim and never had ready made ingredients at home - me neither, she'd be proud of me.

First stage was making thick vanilla custard. Next step is sponge cake.

I listened to this on audio, and the narration was excellent, but the story was mediocre for me. It was entirely conversation and introspection. Excellent psychology and analysis, but I must prefer novels that tell a story via action and place (and interaction), rather than one that consists of discussion about a single event that happened at the beginning. I was bored and unengaged.

First taste of Agatha Christie for me and I liked it! please feel free to hit me with any recommendations on which one to line up next to 👍

... you know, so I can ignore the other 22 books I have on my TBR pile

Meg is my favorite non princess Disney character. Thank you! No username so I will just thank you properly on elfster!
Two books!? Yeah!! I have yet to read anyone Agatha Christie. And the trailer for Where'd You go Bernadette? Looked interesting. So gotta read the book.
A funko keychain! My love for keychains grows. Yeah that licorice won't last long.
Thank you to @kstadt929 for this fun exchange! #funkopopandabookswap #funkopopandabook

As promised, I‘m already flying through my audiobooks. 😂 I was really excited to read another Agatha Christie, and I ended up listening to the whole book yesterday. I thought the characters were so interesting, and I love the way Christie weaves the story together.

On to April!

Nothing on my TBR was jumping out at me this morning, so I decided to reread Murder on the Orient Express — which I read so long ago that I can no longer recall the ending!

#fridayreads #reread #agathachristie #mystery #poirot #weekendread

Agatha Christie's novels we're my first adult mystery series I read. My neighbor at the time,I was 13, gave me a box of books. Agatha Christie books and Harlequin and Silhouette romance novels📚😍

I got this book for christmas and I tried reading Murder on the Orient Express once before and could not get into it.
However, with this 3 book collection, I am now getting into it. I love mystery novels like "And Then There Were None" and "Private".
Hercule Poirot is quite an interesting character. So I'm excited to read these stories and unravel the whodunit storylines.
#agathachristie #mysterynovels #bookworm #reader #bookcollection

Finally read this mystery, and though ultimately a pick, I found the ending a little anticlimactic. Are any of the movies good?! 🤔 I would like to see Poirot in action. 😎 Happy Monday Littens!

What a fun prompt...Billy Idol wanted to join in too! #literaryluck #spellmarchwithbooktitles

Oh. My. Word.

Dan Stevens is AMAZING. I had no idea that he could do accents so well. His Poirot was perfect, but even more impressive to me was his range of American accents (he is English, for those who don't know him). I had read this in print years & years ago, so the ending was no surprise, but what a delightful listen. I hope that he records more Poirot mysteries!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A true mystery in which I doubt anyone would be able to correctly guess the culprit. The unfolding of events only enhances the confusion 😣 of the reader and dissuades one from aspiring to be a real live detective for fear of rendering oneself an idiot. A rather heartwarming ❤ ending, if I do say so myself. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Looking forward to this one! It's been decades since I read it. Already loving Dan Stevens' voicing of Poirot. #currentread #currentlyreading #audiobook #readingwithmyears

I had never read a classic mystery before and I truly loved it! Plenty of interesting twists and turns and holds up quite well considering it's 80+ years old. My first Agatha Christie and I would definitely like to read more of her now.

1) both!
2) Did you know this was based on a true story?
3) Religious education
4) Middle Ages - although I tend to read Victorian and Georgian fiction most

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day2 #YoureSoVain Welcome to day 2 of our trip down memory lane for us elderly people & an introduction to the best music of the 20th century for you younguns! The first character that comes to mind for this prompt is Hercule Poirot, the self confessed Greatest Detective In The World! So vain that he‘s totally confused when people have no idea who he is. Carly Simon allegedly wrote this song about Warren Beatty, her ex boyfriend.

I really enjoyed this book. It was my first Agatha Christie book. Even though at times it was hard to understand because of writing of the different acents, but it deffinitly makes it unique. I love a good mystery. I also loved the ending.

Classic! 💙💙

Gooooood
