Almost 30 years ago I read my first Nancy Drew book, "The Hidden Staircase." I've had a love affair with mysteries ever since. -Kristi.

So excited to receive this #bookmail from @kensingtonbooks ! Can’t wait to read #loveatfirstnovel by @kateclayborn.author #betweenthechaptersbookclub #bookstagram #romcombook #romcom #nyc #whatareyoureading #bookmailisthebestmail
Finn is ready for March’s #readchristie2021 selection, Lord Edgware Dies.
5/5 Stairs to Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. If you can, listen to the audio book. Narrated by Matthew McConaughey, it adds so much to the book to hear his cadence of his poems and musings, and his laughter as he recalls his stories and anecdotes. This book is more than a memoir, it is full of lessons, philosophies, prescriptions for living, and even bumperstickers. It’s a guide to catching more greenlights as you travel through life. I loved this book, and I know I’ll be referencing it for years to come. Alright, alright, alright.
2.5/5 stairs to Parker Pyne Investigates by Agatha Christie. This is a collection of short stories that were hit or miss for me. I feel bad that I didn’t enjoy it more, I mean it’s Agatha Christie. But the majority just didn’t work for me. Not my cuppa. I read this at bedtime and it honestly took all month to get through. I would pick up a Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple instead.
