ReplyDeleteHere is my post!
wow! You've been so busy. So many books, I'm really impressed. 'Madonna's of Echo Park' sounds fab.
ReplyDeleteAgatha Christie is brilliant. Is it one of the the Poirot series? I do like Poirot.
Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by earlier.
Zee.
Wow, that's a great list of books! I love that you're reading Josephine Tey - I used to really enjoy her books. It's been a while since I read any, though - I'll have to check out your review.
ReplyDeleteHave fun reading this week!
You've had a great couple of weeks for reading! Even though I have a couple Agatha Christies on my shelf, I've never read anything by her. I really need to change that.
ReplyDeleteThe Madonna's Of Echo Park sounds amazing - excited to read your review! Have an awesome week! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen did you split off your crime reviews? Gah, how did I miss that? I like that idea.
ReplyDeleteGoing to catch up on your reviews right now.
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great lot of books you've read this week. The Deon Meyer book is one I'll be looking forward to seeing your review on. I haven't been half as productive as I usually am.
Here’s my Monday
Thanks for coming by!
ReplyDelete@Jennifer: thanks for letting me know about The Singer's Gun!
@myworldlyobsession: Yes, it is part of the Poirot series...the last one airing on PBS this season.
@Joy: I love Josephine Tey!
@Alita: She is fun, but at the same time they're really good mysteries!
@Gwen: I did it a while ago. I got tired of searching through each book for the crime!
Sheila: I just hope it does well. He's a talented author.
ReplyDelete@Cat: Once again, technology messed me up! I accidentally rejected your comment on my phone. I keep forgetting to enlarge the window before I get to the "publish." My apologies!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, Deon Meyer's book is so good that I bought all of the books preceding it. I can't wait to get into them. I think I'm a crime-a-holic.
ReplyDeleteI love Agatha Christie's mysteries, she's a classic!! jbdownie5@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteJoann: You should join the Agatha Christie challenge!
