I wish you happy reading in 2016, Sarah :readingtwo::D!!

 

Wow, Ngaio Marsh has written a lot of books. You must like her work to read so many of them :).

 

Thank you !  :D It`s nice to be almost up to date - I just need to do my best books of 2015 now.  :smile: 

 

Ngaio Marsh`s Inspector Alleyn mysteries were my pick for the start-of-the-year-get-over-the-Winter-blahs reread ;  it`s been 20 years since I read them and was nice to get back to `old friends`. Particular favourites are Death and the Dancing Footman ( a blizzard traps a group of people - and a murderer - in a country house ) and Clutch of Constables ( Troy , the Inspector`s wife, decides to go on a riverboat cruise of Norfolk, and someone gets bumped off ).  :smile:

Happy reading, Little Pixie! That's quite a TBR pile! I love that you've added two extra posts for future TBR books. You mustn't be hoping/expecting to curb your book buying this year.  :giggle:

 

Thank you !  :D

 

I decided to not make myself miserable by attempting to change my book-addicted personality.  :giggle2:

I'm glad you had fun reading them, I will look those up :)

That sounds like a great idea :D.

I don't think I've read any of Ngaio Marsh's books, although I know I have a couple around here.  You have great lists of TBRs!!! 

 

We`ll see ; perhaps I`ll be on the News getting rescued from a Book Hoard.  :giggle2:

 

Hah, don't let Marie Kondo get ya!! :giggle:

 

Happy Reading! :balloons:

Thank you ! I have Marie Kondo`s 2nd book now - do you think it will help ?! I have it on a table nearby so it will infuse into me.  :giggle2:

Happy Reading in 2016 Little Pixie :) I say, you've read an awful lot of Ngaio Marsh's :D 

 

Thanks ! I did enjoy my Ngaio Marsh reread ; you just keep reading `em in order and you don`t have to think about picking out a book to read next. I`ve just got her collected short stories to go and then comes the hard part - picking out a book to read from my 804 book TBR. Aaaaack ! :doh:

What a lot of books you've read already.  :)   I've been intending to read a Ngaio Marsh book for some time - maybe 2016 will be that year?

 

Happy reading.  :)

 

Thanks ! If you`ve read Dorothy L Sayers, then Inspector Alleyn is quite similar ( though he doesn`t go the full Wimsey  ;) ).
