To date, I've read 18 of her novels and reviewed 18 of them on my blog.<br /><br />I can't remember either what the first Agatha Christie book I read either. I only know that my mother introduced me to her, and for that I'm eternally grateful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683496075979568913.post-6196336166101792342009-09-19T12:11:24.331-04:002009-09-19T12:11:24.331-04:00The natural progression from my 12 y/o obsession w...The natural progression from my 12 y/o obsession with Nancy Drew was Agatha Christie. I've loved her since, but I think my devotion was sealed by Joan Hickson in the BBC's Miss Marple series.

And you are starting to motivate me to read more of her stories for myself. However, your love for Betsy-Tacy has taken over my bookshelf at the present moment.<br /><br />Still, I loved reading this post and seeing you document your progress!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772667430500306088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683496075979568913.post-23203069461918543162009-09-19T05:42:26.404-04:002009-09-19T05:42:26.404-04:00I,too, started reading Agatha Christie in my teens...I,too, started reading Agatha Christie in my teens. Reading Christie was a family tradition and my mother had all of them and gave the new ones as Xmas presents, these were then circulated around the clan. I think I have read all of them and still occasionally reread them for comfort. At Bertram's Hotel, 4.50 from Paddington, and Murder at The Vicarage are some favourites.BCKMPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421814538473071001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683496075979568913.post-37071126481616223022009-09-19T02:22:37.270-04:002009-09-19T02:22:37.270-04:00I've been an Agatha Christie fan since my teen...I've been an Agatha Christie fan since my teenage years, although it was only a few years ago that I started to read her books again and found there were so many I hadn't read. Like you I love the challenge of solving the crime as well as just enjoying the reading, knowing that whatever murder has been committed I'm not going to be faced with the horror that some crime writers inflict.BooksPleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08721650104596705715noreply@blogger.com
