pickMultitasking: watching UConn v. Duke football game- close, 20 v. 14. Finished tagged book.A fun light read. Enjoyed how T & T took on the persona of various detectives.The last story they are Poirot & Hastings- a segway into Poirot tales I am thinking?The “twins” chapter was another one I enjoyed.
pickHere‘s my review for this book I just finished reading for the #christiescapers buddy read. This was last month‘s book.

Reading Agatha Christie & enjoying a glass of chardonnay . In good company with @mcctrish @TheBookHippie @BarbaraBB @Tamra @Aims42 @dabbe @Cathythoughts @Ruthiella
pickI enjoyed the majority of these short mystery stories, which usually isn‘t “the case” (HA, get it? 😂). I correctly guessed the outcome of one of the mysteries early on so that one was kinda a bummer. But, I loved most of their other adventures and having more of Albert too was a treat. Can‘t wait to discuss it further at the end of the month @Librarybelle #christiecapers
I am LOVING this book so much! Does anyone know if the Tommy & Tuppence books have been made into TV shows? It‘s a shame if not 😂
Starting this tonight. What fun to be with Tommy &‘Tuppence again! #ChristieCapers #AgathaChristieClubR3
pickAside from a couple of very bizarre statements about sexual assault, I actually liked this Miss Marple mystery more than I expected to for a late Christie. The twists and turns are enjoyable, with just enough clues to keep me guessing. As always Emilia Fox's narration is excellent. And now I want to go on a guided tour of historic homes and gardens in England.

pickI got slightly confused and read November's #ChristieCapers book instead of October's 😂 I love Tommy and Tuppence, and the concept here is fun. However, this one always falls a little flat for me because I'm just not familiar enough with the classic detectives Christie references throughout the book. Still, some of the mysteries are quite good, and I do love the way Christie spoofs Hercule Poirot at the end.
so-soDuring a Halloween party, one of the children 13-year-old Joyce, declares that she saw a murder committed once. No-one believes her, but later that evening she is found drowned in a tub of apples. Author Ariadne Oliver calls in close friend, Hercule Poirot, to find the killer.
This one is a bit of a dog's dinner. For a start, I can't stand Ariadne Oliver, in fact she makes me think of Hastings quite fondly. (continued)
