You like your Agatha Christie.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I grew up watching the old Miss Marple movies starring Margaret Rutherford, and just loved her in them. :) Got me hooked I guess. :)

[silsbee329.livejournal.com]

Congrats! I missed my goal of 30 by over half! But I blame all the fanfic reading. ;)

Can you believe I've never read any Agatha Christy? (And clearly I can't spell her name either... )

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

LOL.........
Spelling is not my strong point either. :p
I recommend them. They are fun reads. Although The Moving Fingers barely qualifies in my opinion as a Miss Marple book. She doesn't show up until chapter 10 and there are only 15 chapters. LOL...

[davesmusictank.livejournal.com]

Major Agatha Christie fan i see.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I do like her.
I got the complete Miss Marple books for my nook. :)

[endlessblush.livejournal.com]

Well done
that's 24 than me!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But compared to a couple of years ago when I got 44 books read. :o

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

What did you think of 'the last continent'? I think you need to know about the jokes about Aussies to really get that one! :o)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I knew some of the things, but it was tough to read not understanding all of them.

[cmcmck.livejournal.com]

I can imagine.

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

and how many are you planning to read in 2016? (you know you have 1 day extra, so you need to make more than 25)

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I am hoping for more then 25, but I don't really make any plans. :p
A couple of years ago I read 44, so it can be done. lol.....

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

I'm impressed!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Oh well, it's for enjoyment, right? :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

absolutely!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Working on another Miss Marple book now and also a book about the rock group Heart. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

*thumbs up*

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I'm trying. :)

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

you can do this!!! GO JON!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[elkster.livejournal.com]

41 for me, I remember you saying at some point last year that you hadn't been reading much!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it was kind of let down. :(
Can I blame LJ for keeping me busy? lol.......

[elkster.livejournal.com]

Ha! No.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

RATS...

[britalone.livejournal.com]

I've only read book nos 22 and 23. You are the only person I've found that likes Cadfael! I love those books.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I first found Cadfael on the PBS Mystery shows. I assume they were originally British shows. It starred Derek Jacobi. LOVED those shows. Another LJ friend told me I should read the books because they were better.

[britalone.livejournal.com]

Derek Jacobi is my favourite actor. I loved the Cadfael series and was really upset when they stopped making them.
Did you ever watch him in I Claudius?

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I remember watching I Claudius years ago, and just recently I got the dvds. :)

[britalone.livejournal.com]

The book by Robert Graves is very good, but takes a while to get thru! I'm sure you will enjoy the series again.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Another old series I would like to get some time is Elizabeth R.

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I think you like Janet Evanovich, I will have to check her out.
I love mysteries and I really should keep track of the books I read!
Usually I read a book a week...

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

WOW a book a week? Sweet. :)

The Stephanie Plum books by Janet are so much fun to read. GREAT characters. :)

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I will check one out next, thanks!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Highly recommended. Great fun. :)

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I love Dame Agatha too, I think I have read all of them, so great.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I was disappointed in The Moving Finger.
It's part of the Miss Marple series, but she didn't show up until chapter 10 out of 15. :o And she was barely there until the end to tell how she figured it out. :o

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I detest that, when she shows up late, I mean come on, what was up with that Dame Agatha?

There was a really fun book I read this year kind of related - let me get my Nook...

Here it is, The Christie Curse by Victoria Abbott

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I will have to look into that one. :)

[kaishin108.livejournal.com]

I really enjoyed it.

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

Well I only managed 2! So 25 is pretty good going

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)
So going for 3 this year? :)

[ellierachael.livejournal.com]

No aims because I doubt I'll manage to meet them - I just don't have time for it any more :(

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. :(
I just don't seem to make enough of an effort.
That and with not sleeping well, when I try to read on break at work, I have a lot of trouble reading through my eyelids. lol.........

[peppersneeze.livejournal.com]

I think my mom read every Agatha Christie book written!

[thespian15.livejournal.com]

I got a ways to go on that list. lol...
