I was doing so well with posts and then I had to try and catch up with work and other jobs I had not got done whilst painting!! The painting of the kitchen, laundry, downstairs bathroom and den are now done and I have also decluttered the den as well. Just now need to spring clean them and put the pictures back up and I will be able to show you photographs!!!
Today Is Book Club day and I wanted to show you the next book I am reading.
Now you know that I re-read a lot of my books again and again, which I always say says a lot about my brain! I do remember the story but not all the ins and outs of it which is why I can re-read them. DH however cannot as he has a photographic memory and remembers everything!! Anywho I have read this book before, a long time ago though, but wanted to read it again. You know I love Agatha Christie so reading her books are like visiting old friends.
Roger Ackroyd is in love but he knows that she is harbouring a secret which is weighing heavily upon her, she killed her husband. Sadly she cannot stand the pressure any longer and kills herself but Roger thinks she was being blackmailed, can he sort it out. A letter arrives for him with a clue but before he finishes the letter he is killed. Can Hercule Poirot sort the mess out and reveal the killer and blackmailer, are they one and the same person or two people acting together or separately?
I love Agatha Christie’s books because of the time period they are set in, which harks back to simpler times especially a slower time, rather than the frenetic pace we all seem to ive at now. If you love detective fiction then this is one for you.

DH has a swimming competition tomorrow all day and then Sunday he is setting up the business exhibition which is on all next week at the NEC. I have planned to get home jobs done on Sunday and tomorrow I will be seeing Eldest, Suzie and Little Man for a bit and then getting some more decluttering jobs done. Next week for me will be work, of course, but also doing the Spring Cleaning. I will be doing a room a day. Tuesday Jayne and I are out for lunch and can’t wait.
Don’t say it too loudly but our weather has been a bit nicer over the last two days! Warmer and no rain and that has got to be a bonus. The weekend after this DH has no swimming on (!) so we are going to do some painting again, the main bathroom, and also if the weather holds get out into the garden! Again I will try and show you pictures.
Have a wonderful weekend you lovely lot.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xxxx
There are some books and authors that I can happily re-read and Christie is one of them. Heinlein, McCaffrey, and Asimov are authors I can read over and over as well. Yesterday was almost 80 and today there is another storm moving in.
You know I’m not into murder mysteries but this sounds like a book that I might like and I love the cover! Have a great time with Tobey and we can’t wait to see your rooms all done and put back together!
I don’t often read non-fiction but I recently watched a movie called Suite Francaise on you-tube and so enjoyed it I have ordered the book from Amazon. It was written starting in 1940 but was never finished as the author was arrested by the Nazi’s in a small village in Central France. She perished in a concentration camp in 1942. Sad background to a really great story. Her daughter discovered her books in a piece of luggage she had never really looked closely at sometime in the 1990’s. The book was finished and published in 38 languages. The movie was released in 2014. If you google it you will get numerous hits for reviews and information.
Merideth in Wyoming (yep still here!) You are one of the last bloggers I’ve read over the years still posting! I will have to let you know how the book is – probably tons better than the movie. They always are.
