If you like taking polls, I also have 11 polls or so about Gaiman's characters, a few polls on Austen's stuff and more on Shakespeare, gothic works and comics (again, see my 'polls' tag).

Maybe I'll do other polls with other Christies too, mention your favorites if they're not here.

hastings went away on some sort of Man Trip, and when he comes back his apartment is sublet or something and so poirot insists he move in with him and the GLEE with which my partner and i greeted that announcement…!

also hastings brought back a stuffed caiman that he shot *for poirot* and poirot turned on a *dime* from hating the thing to loving it as soon as hastings said it was a gift

Poirot and Hastings are married

I present: Excerpts from The ABC Murders

- "In the midst of death we are in life, Hastings. Murder, I have often noticed, is a great matchmaker.”

- “Really, Poirot,” I cried, blushing slightly.

- “Poirot,” I said, “your mind is incurably sentimental.”

“That is the last thing my mind is. You are the sentimental one, Hastings.”

- “You're a man milliner, Poirot. I never notice what people have on.”

“You should join a nudist colony.”

- His eyes twinkled suddenly

"Perhaps I'd like mount you on your romantic high horse"

- Poirot was standing by my bedside gently shaking me by the shoulder. One glance at his face brought me from semi-consciousness into full possession of my faculties.

Book review: Agatha Christie

Rating:

Murder on The Orient Express - 4⭐️

The ABC Murders - 3⭐️

Evil Under The Sun - 3⭐️

Murder in Mesopotamia - 3⭐️

When I first read one book from Agatha Christie (Murder on The Orient Express) I was surprised… What have I been missing!? I loved the story (and no, I haven't seen the movie), and the way it kept me hooked to the book. I usually read a book to switch off from the world and my brain, and it was interesting to see that the same didn't happen with this one. My mind was constantly working to figure out who the killer was, taking everything the detective was saying, and analysing it at the same time as him. I'm beginning to understand the charm of mistery books.

After a lot of months I decided to read more about Poirot’s adventures.

These books are short and a good choice for taking on vacation. They tell us about the adventures of Hercule Poirot, a detective trying to uncover which suspects are guilty. I chose them randomly but wasn't surprised really, they are classic mysteries. The stories themselves aren't what you’d call gratifying plot wise, although they are indeed clever, but I enjoyed the reading while trying to discover who the suspect was myself.

The three of them are different from each one, not only in the way the crimes were committed (because that obviously is different) but from the perspective of who tells the story. The ABC Murders is from the perspective of Captain Hastings, a great friend of Poirot, who's also helping solve the case; Evil Under The Sun is from Poirot's perspective; and Murder in Mesopotamia is from the perspective of a Nurse who was related to the case. Because of these differences and different personalities and writing styles, it was a good change from one book to the other.

Cooking With Christie: Chicken Tikka Masala

Inspiration: Once again, while baking bread, I listened with half an ear to Alton Brown and Simon Majumdar discussing Tikka Masala on Good Eats (the newer seasons). As my household enjoys tomatoes, chicken, spices, and rice, I decided to give this dish a go. However, due to my stupid, stupid allergies, I couldn’t use Alton Brown’s recipe as it calls for coconut milk. (Though, I’ve gotta say Mr.…

Books of 2023

The ABC Murders, Agatha Christie--This is probably one of my favorite Poirot novels. It keeps you on your toes and as always with Agatha Christie, there’s a surprise twist (or two!)

1984, George Orwell--I feel like this is another book that has been lost to the times. When it first came out, I’m sure it was a phenomenal read--it predicts a dystopian future in a surveillance state, which, at this point, maybe hits a little too close to home for some. The ‘big bad’ and scary suggestions for the future in this book are, at this point in our lives, fairly normal feeling, or things that we’ve since in more recent sci-fi novels and tv shows, done bigger and scarier. So, while I’m sure it set up the foundation for which many of these new things were based on, I was fairly bored reading this book, and did not finish it.

Finn Fancy Necromancy, Randy Henderson--This was a fun, light read. It follows the story of a boy who was framed for a crime he didn’t commit, and his journey of discovery after completing his sentence. 

The Diviners, Libba Bray--A supernatural-esque mystery story set in New York in the 1920s? What else can you ask for? This book was actually really good, it had a well rounded set of diverse and interesting characters, and was a good mix of a scary read and a fun read. 

The City We Became, NK Jemisin--This was a really interesting book--it’s hard to explain without giving too much away, but it was a very unique writing style overall, with subtle shifts in narration for when a different character was telling their part of the story. It explored a new concept, I think, in writing and storytelling, which I really enjoyed.

Shadow and Bone, Leigh Bardugo--I’m a bit biased because I saw the show first, but that and a friend convinced me enough to read the book, and I loved it! The TV show stays pretty accurate to this book, at least (I’ve heard it strays from some of the later ones). Although it has some of the typical fantasy YA romance tropes, I still really enjoyed this book, and it had enough new and interesting ideas to keep me hooked and interested in the book. I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Moby Dick, Herman Melville--It’s taken me literal years to finish this one because I was reading it on my phone so would read it while riding to work and then forget about it for months on end and then pick it up again. BUT regardless, I really enjoyed it! I can see why a lot of high schoolers hate it, she’s DENSE. There’s a lot of explanation and things that aren’t necessarily plot-related going on in the book, which I enjoy, but I can see why others wouldn’t. Another one that I’d maybe recommend reading the abridged version of, but I really liked it!

Dune, Frank Herbert--Having watched the newest movie beforehand really helped me with this one. It’s a FANTASTIC book, but there are a lot of moving parts, politics, and characters with similar names, that I definitely would have gotten confused and frustrated if I hadn’t have had the movie to base things off of. That being said, would highly recommend reading. A lot times with old sci-fi books like this, they don’t live up to the hype because like, they may have been groundbreaking at the time they came out, but our expectations have risen so much since then. However, for a book that came out in 1965, this one still holds up. It definitely kept me interested throughout the book, which is saying something, because she’s THICK.

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Eveyln Hardcastle, Stuart Turton--This was a really good book with a fresh new take on murder mystery/whodunits. Essentially, the narrator wakes up each day as a new person, reliving the events of the same day over and over again until he can solve the murder. It was a really interesting concept and I thought very well executed.

The ABC Murders was another fun book by Agatha Christie. I enjoyed the mystery while reading, but the ending changed everything I thought I knew about the plot! I didn't see the big reveal coming, and I was pleasantly surprised with the plan and real motives.

Which Agatha Christie book should I read next?
