pickI‘m growing to love this series: gentle, seemingly soft-touch stories with gentle humour, but covering some tough subjects at the same time.
As one of the official languages of Botswana is English, I‘m claiming this for #English_Speaking #FictionalTraveler @julieclair

Oh my goodness. This is at the British Library! They have the most wonderful exhibitions always beautifully presented and usually only on for 3 months. Dame Agatha has a 6 month run! They‘re obviously expecting it to be busy! Can‘t wait 😝
pickHaving red 'a daughter in time' years ago in which Insp Alan Grant is in a hospital bed, i was interested, to go to 1st in the series. It took me a bit to adjust to the pace + style of 1920's police mystery, but I soon enjoyed the characters + a thrilling chase in the Scottish Highlands. The ending wasn't great, but overall, I enjoyed stepping back in time when people queue for the theatre + get murdered for their trouble. Definitely trying more
All done and time to reconfigure my family room bookshelves

For tonight‘s #HyggeHour I‘m reading the latest Encyclopedia Brown book for #EBBR & then catching up on a cozy mystery with my remaining time. I‘m hydrating (it‘s humid) with Hint watermelon water & noshing on this cute Neko Pan (bread with strawberry cream filling).
Mood is tired. Shoulder is still sore & I‘m not ready for Monday. 😵💫
so-soI found an old volume of mystery stories & novels while antiquing a couple weeks ago. The first novel in the collection was The Maltese Falcon, which I have never actually read. It had some good twists but wasn't amazing. Overall this only gets a so-so.
OMG. @Cuilin ... you're spoiling me! Thank you for these get-well delights. I had my first PT today and was told to lie low for another three weeks (going to appointments, though), so you've given me items to enjoy while my butt is on the couch! I can't wait to dive into the book, and I love that I can read little snippets here and there. The bookmarks are so cool, too! I'm so glad you're a part of my Litsy life. Thank you, dear friend. 🧡💜💛
so-soThis mystery plot dragged a bit and was rather convoluted. I much prefer the previous Holmes and Watson novel I read by this author. (See my previous post.) I do like her portrayal of Holmes and Watson, though.

pickI don‘t get the covers of these cheap ebooks. Somehow I imagined Fernkurs Park to be more opulent, but perhaps I am wrong. It is funny to follow Poirot trying to be an average citizen cultivating pumpkins. For sure he wouldn‘t last long and a murder case would sneak back into his life and Poirot is taking it gratefully. And The Murder of Roger Ackroyd is definitely a good case for a come back.
