Isn't Agatha Christie just great?! The book covers, her characters, how cool is not Poirot?! I want to read absolutly all of her books (I am on somesort of historical light mystery novel kick right now). I had BF loan one from the library the other day when he was their studying...Murder on the Orient Express. Perfect!
Which one is your favorite? Do you have any other classic mystery novel authors? When I was litte I adored Nancy Drew and the Boxcar Children series....I am glad that I am getting into it again. The guesome, graphic, crime mysteries and dramas that are popular now on tv can be a bit too much (I am addicted to them as well of course).

Hi! What a great post!
My daughter sent me a link to this because she knows I'm obsessed with Agatha Christie. Cards on the Table is probably my favorite Poirot, N or M? is my favorite Tuppence & Tommy, and Nemesis may be my favorite Miss Marple - it's so hard to pick!
I moderate Barnes & Noble's Mystery Book Club at BN.com and we celebrated Dame Agatha's 120th Birthday by inviting authors to guest blog about her every day in September.

You're sweet! I haven't read nearly enough. I am hooked...gonna read them all!
Hello!
I am quite a fan of Agatha Christie myself, although I am more team Miss Marple than Poirot!
Your illustrations are a delight!
I read tons! I travel on the trains so often I need something productive to do. I can't draw without everything becoming a bit squiggly so reading is perfect and a wonderful escape.
I have not heard of Daphne du Maurier... but I shall have to. Actually looked her up just now. Rebecca can be found at the little library around the corner, wonderful! I am half way through Agatha's Cat Among Pigeons... I also prefer Poirot!
p.s. Thanks Becky
