    Love all your vintage Agatha Christie books and the great tbr. The only book of hers that I did not enjoy was the seven dials mystery. Moving finger was great 👍. I am currently on book 5 of the wheel of time, real slog but am still enjoying them, amazing plot and characters. I just love your edition of the first volume and the Lord of the rings!♥️. I too have started reading historical romances again, currently reading a new to me author, Elizabeth Hoyt, her first book in something called the Maiden Lane series, so far so good 😅.

      I think I should try some new Historical Romance authors, I will look out for her books, I just really like Tessa Dare! 😄 I love the old style fantasy art work, I wish they would bring it back, Robin Hobbs books have a similar art style and they are so pretty! I always find my Agatha Christie’s in thrift stores, the covers are so unique 😊

    You always choose interesting titles. There are a few of these I'd like to read, but Divine Rivals jumps out at me.

      I’ve heard so much about it but I still don’t feel like I have any idea what it is about! I’m looking forward to trying it in February 😊

    I have that same copy of The Secret of the Chimneys, but I have to correct you, it is a Superintendent Battle mystery.

      The older style paperbacks have so little information about the books I’m not surprised I got one wrong, my memory is awful!

      @@MiniBookChats I like Superintendent Battle but he has never been any of the adaptions of his books. It makes me sad. He was in both Secret of the Chimneys and Seven Dials Mystery, as well as; Cards On The Table, Towards Zero and Murder Is Easy.
