So, on the plus side, despite serious RL interventions progress on my card is well under way, with four squares (including the centre / free / raven square) marked "called and read"; three of these in a row -- plus reading for the remaining two squares of that row also in progress -- and several mor...
I only paid .99 for this memoir, which I read last night from start to finish. There were a lot of elements that I enjoyed, but David Suchet is a successful actor, and there are also times when his rather extraordinary ego (who does that remind you of...) got in his way. I was fascinated, however...
As I mentioned in a previous update, this is an adaptation of Dracula that is much changed and much whittled down. The very bare bones of the original story are still here, but a lot is left out. That being said, it's still an enjoyable listen, and the cast all give excellent performances. Howev...
Changed my mind (yet again) and switched books for my final bingo square, as I'm not sure I'll be in much of a mind to finish my previous choice for "Grave or Graveyard," Umberto Eco's Cemetery of Prague. So I switched to the 2016 BBC audio adaptation of Dracula, starring David Suchet in the title...
This was a collection of short stories featuring Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot. Short stories are generally not my favorite things to read, and mysteries in short story format are especially unsatisfying to me. In this case, though, I did enjoy these mini Poirot adventures.

Re-read by audiobook. I cannot believe what a wonderful narrator David Suchet is. I was tempted to grab people and make them listen to the way he can narrate a woman, a man, a German woman, an American man. So wonderful. Also listening to this I get a sense of the time period as the German woman...
I've been listening to the Audio CD for the last week on the ride to and from work. I don't recall ever having actually read the book. My mother was a great fan of mysteries, and I remember reading - I think - [b:Mrs. Pollifax On Safari|140528|Mrs. Pollifax On Safari|Dorothy Gilman|http://ecx.images...
This is not Agatha Christie's best book - how could it be? After all, this is the first book she published - but it features her trademark style: logical plots, an insightful but sometimes clueless narrator, lots of great misdirection and very witty characters. I laughed out loud a lot while listeni...
