I told you...

... once you start reading the books, you just cannot stop! I'll try to reduce the posts by combining several books into one post - like I did before - but this one deserves its own post. Such a brilliant book!

4. N OR M? (Tommy & Tuppence)
Tommy and Tuppence as undercover agents during the second World War! They are tracking down two German spies at Sans Souci guesthouse, so the book should actually be called N and M! A lot of action and one is never bored with Tommy and Tuppence!

Memorable quotes:
-"... we can win the war ... but only if we don't lost it first."
-"I'm in this to enjoy myself and I'm going to enjoy myself."
-"Women are all very well in their place, but not before breakfast."
-"I won't say "Take care of yourself", because I gather that the whole point is that you should do just the opposite. But don't go and be stupid."

Favourite Guest Character: Tuppence. If she's too regular, then Carl.

I also managed to buy some new fabrics, so expect a sewing post soon!

Reading...

There will be plenty of reading posts in the future as I decided to read the complete collection of Agatha Christie's novels. Yes, my Mom had the books and once you start reading them it's so difficult to stop!

3. THREE ACT TRAGEDY (Poirot)
An actor hosts a cocktail party when a guest, a clergyman, suddenly dies. No poison and no motive. A while later the same guests meet at another party. Will something similar happen. Will there maybe be a third act? Could Poirot be one of the victims?

Favourite Guest Character: Egg.

2. CARDS ON THE TABLE (Poirot)
Mr. Shaitana rounds up the usual suspects for a game of bridge: four suspected criminals and four sleuths. But before the game is over, a murder occurs. Four suspected, four (hi)stories and only one who did it. A proof that not playing bridge can be dangerous.

1. MRS McGINTY'S DEAD (Poirot)
Mrs. McGinty's murderer is about to be hanged. But the police have second doubts and they ask Poirot for help. He soon finds himself in a Miss-Marplesque village, full of "old pussies" where everyone seems to know something but noone tells everything. Poirot finds four photographs from a newspaper and it turns out that one has been seen someplace else. But where? Too many persons, too much digging up the past and some hilarious scenes at the village guesthouse.

Favourite Guest Character: Mrs Summerhayes.

Bag shopping

Finally, a post about bags. But I didn't make them, I just bought them for my cousin and for me.




I LOVE these bags from Janine King on Etsy.
