Ramble-y Teaserish Stuff

I cannot remember a time in my life when I was not a huge Agatha Christie fan. I grew up watching the movies every time they were on television and as soon as I was able I started reading the books off of my grandmother's bookshelf until I loaded up my own.  Back in 2015 I had every intention of reading/re-reading every Christie I could get my hands on. I then met NetGalley and it all went terribly awry .... much like the summer term at Meadowbank in Cat Among the Pigeons.

Goodreads lists the book as number 36 out of 42 in the Hercule Poirot series. It's not the best of the bunch and Hercule doesn't even show up right away, but it does have some fabulous moments and anything penned by Christie will always be better than most anything by anyone else.

Maybe I'll go back to trying to get through the entire Agatha Christie library. I may even have to forget that I just read the ones I did back in 2015 and start all over from the beginning. Perhaps I'll do series by series this time ... or the stand-alones first and then the series ... or ...

My little grey cells are hurting just trying to figure it out.
