March reading plans 2

Image
  So in the second category of books I want to read are the ones I have running for my own personal challenges and some series I wish to get to. The list will be in priority order from my highest to lowest. Authors I am focusing on: Agatha Christie * Death on the Nile Hercule Poirot #17 published in 1937. Book description (according to Good Reads): The tranquillity of a cruise along the Nile is shattered by the discovery that Linnet Ridgeway has been shot through the head. She was young, stylish and beautiful, a girl who had everything - until she lost her life. Hercule Poirot recalls an earlier outburst by a fellow passenger: 'I'd like to put my dear little pistol against her head and just press the trigger.' Yet in this exotic setting, nothing is ever quite what it seems.  * Murder in the Mews Hercule Poirot #18 published 1937. Book description (GoodReads):  Hercule Poirot is faced with four mystifying cases: "Murder in the Mews," "The Incredible Theft,...

Danse Macabre- DNFed

Image
  Author: Stephen King Genre: NonFiction Original Publication date: 1981 Book description(I read this only after DNFing the book):   From the author of dozens of #1 New York Times bestsellers and the creator of many unforgettable movies comes a vivid, intelligent, and nostalgic journey through three decades of horror as experienced through the eyes of the most popular writer in the genre. In 1981, years before he sat down to tackle On Writing, Stephen King decided to address the topic of what makes horror horrifying and what makes terror terrifying. Here, in ten brilliantly written chapters, King delivers one colorful observation after another about the great stories, books, and films that comprise the horror genre—from Frankenstein and Dracula to The Exorcist, The Twilight Zone, and Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. Thoughts: This is an interesting book, but you need to understand that a lot of references are very particular and for the most part I was unfamiliar with what it was...

Author: Madeleine L'Engle 240 pages Genre: Children's literature Book description: Just before Meg Murry's little brother, Charles Wallace, falls deathly ill, he sees dragons in the vegetable garden. The dragons turn out to be Proginoskes, a cherubim composed of wings and eyes, wind and flame. It is up to Meg and  Proginoskes, along with Meg's friend Calvin, to save Charles Wallace's life. To do so, they must travel deep within Charles Wallace o attempt to defeat the Echthroi- those who hate- and restore brilliant harmony and joy tot he rhythm of creation, the song of the universe. So the second part f the story is so much better, for some reason I had not really enjoyed a wrinkle in time but not I found I liked it a lot the second part. Even Meg, a girl who I found overly annoying the first part was pleasant to follow. She is the main character and she has no idea what she's doing but manages to overcome her faults mainly and then saves everyone (refere...
