  3. I'm so glad you joined the AC Readers Challenge. I've been in for a few months and it's been fun to read about what everyone has read this month. I've been trying to read one a month. Plus I'm trying to read them in the order in which Ms. Christie published them. It's been very interesting. I look forward to reading your thoughts on these great mysteries.

  8. Staci, which one??

    Nancy, thanks so much. I took about a million pictures before I liked one well enough to put up. :<)

    Val, I haven't read the titles you mentioned, and look forward to them. That's the nice thing about AC, there are lots of books!

  9. Were you the one who said her autobiography was terrific? I keep meaning to read it (and Julia Child's memoir) but my backlog of books is wicked long at this point.

  12. The BBC broadcast this today
    "Crime writer Val McDermid listens to recordings made by Agatha Christie which have never before been broadcast.

    A panel of guests, including dramatist Kevin Elyot, biographer Laura Thompson, archivist John Curran, who has recently deciphered Christie's notebooks, director Enyd Williams and writer Michael Bakewell, discuss their approach to dramatising her novels for TV and radio and the light that these recordings shed on Christie's working methods."
    and they make it available to listen to here for 7 days

    Might be worth a listen Val
