Agatha Christie

I’m reading my very first AC mystery, Closed Casket.

I love it so far, it’s a very cozy mystery murder style plot, it’s clever, it’s funny, and I really enjoy the writing style and characters.

I’m a long time avid reader and writer. But I’ve had a rough decade (yes decade) and found that I finally am less mentally exhausted.

I’ve missed reading books from beginning to end, but going through some major life crisis left me spending years just scrolling at the end of the day because I couldn’t find the emotional capacity to invest in a good book. It’s hard to explain.

I decided to start small and easy, and found a couple of books in my favorite genres, to get rid of my “rustiness”.

I’ve missed it a lot, and following this sub helped me get excited about books again, so thank you!

Also, a big part of it is that my partner has gently encouraged me to read again, I met him last year after some major time healing.

There’s a song called You And I by Ingrid Michaelson. There’s a line that says “I will help you read those books, and you will soothe my worried looks, and we can put the lonesome on the shelf.” I feel like having someone in your life that keeps you reading is so invaluable.

Anyways, I’d love to hear if anyone else reads AC, or left reading for a while, only to come back home again.
