After a looooong hiatus, I am back to reading! And would you believe it’s with something I’ve been wanting to read since August! This book has been with me for a really long time now, since I bought the three books from Bookchor last year…! And out of the three books I bought, I’ve managed to read only two. There just seemed so many other books to read before then 😛

The Unexpected Guest by Charles Osborne, Agatha Christie
It has been at least 15 years (although it is most probably much more than that) since I first started reading Agatha Christie. You would assume I would be bored of her writing by now. But, no, not at all. In fact, she continues to amuse and surprise me to this day. I guess I will just never grow out of her writing!
I’ll Walk Alone (Alvirah and Willy #8) by Mary Higgins Clark
Oh my god, such a ridiculous book! I might just never read another novel by Mary Higgins Clark again!
Lost in Temptation (Regency Chase #1) by Lauren Royal
After the children’s book The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, here’s something that’s definitely adult. Technically, I finished this first, but I just got around to writing about this later. Probably because I enjoyed The Diary more than I enjoyed this one.
The Perfect Murder by Ruskin Bond
Another one for new year. This time it is a short story collection, all somehow related to murder—committing, witnessing, or solving a murder. There are quite a few well-known names: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Ruskin Bond, and Edgar Allan Poe. I cannot figure out the cover though… The title story is by someone else, not Ruskin Bond.
Before I Go to Sleep by S.J. Watson
Hello, 2018! My new year’s resolution this time is to just go back to my old hobbies, or rather, actually make time for my old hobbies. That includes reading, painting, and just plain making sure there is more to my day than just going to and back from work. To commemorate my new year, I finished this book (on Jan 01, 2018) that had been on my shelf for what feels like forever.
The Mousetrap: A Play by Agatha Christie
It is rare that I am disappointed by an Agatha Christie novel/book. In fact, I can’t even remember any novel of hers that I was disappointed in. Sure, there have been times when I wasn’t amazed or thrilled, but it was always at least OK.
The Hollow: A Play by Agatha Christie
Appointment with Death: A Stage Play by Agatha Christie
I must say I don’t have much experience reading plays… Well, not unless you count the plays that were part of the prescribed reading in school. This must be the first play I have read outside an English textbook. And, keeping that in mind, I must say it wasn’t bad.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
Oh, what did I just read? I am going to be thinking about this for a long time. Some stories, no matter how much time has passed, stay with you. I have a feeling this is one of those stories…
