March reading plans 2

 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," "Dead Man's Mirror," and "Triangle at Rhodes." Each of them is a miniature classic of characterization, incident, and suspense. 

Stephen King

*Thinner published in 1984 under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman. Book description: Billy Halleck, good husband and loving father, is both beneficiary and victim of the American good life: He has an expensive home, a nice family, and a rewarding career as a lawyer...but he is also fifty pounds overweight and edging into heart attack country. Not sure if this is a contemporary or horror story. 

*Skeleton crew published in 1985.  

From the Flap:
The Master at his scarifying best! From heart-pounding terror to the eeriest of whimsy--tales from the outer limits of one of the greatest imaginations of our time!
Evil that breathes and walks and shrieks, brave new worlds and horror shows, human desperation bursting into deadly menace--such are the themes of these astounding works of fiction. In the tradition of Poe and Stevenson, of Lovecraft and The Twilight Zone, Stephen King has fused images of fear as old as time with the iconography of contemporary American life to create his own special brand of horror--one that has kept millions of readers turning the pages even as they gasp.

Series to continue/complete

Walking dead vol 29: the lines we cross. 

Walking dead vol 30: new world order

Walking dead vol 31 the rotten core + the extra section. These are the last few sections left in the 4th compendium for the series and the finale. I am eager to get to them. 

*Slippery slope by Lemony Snicket. This is the 10th in the series of unfortunate events. Book sneak peek: the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a toboggan, a deceitful map, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a troupe of organized youngsters, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire. 

*The broken kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin -is the second book in the inheritance trilogy. Book description: In the city of Shadow, beneath the World Tree, alleyways shimmer with magic and godlings live hidden among mortalkind. Oree Shoth, a blind artist, takes in a homeless man who glows like a living sun to her strange sight. This act of kindness engulfs Oree in a nightmarish conspiracy. Someone, somehow, is murdering godlings, leaving their desecrated bodies all over the city.
Oree's peculiar guest is at the heart of it, his presence putting her in mortal danger -- but is it him the killers want, or Oree? And is the earthly power of the Arameri king their ultimate goal, or have they set their sights on the Lord of Night himself? 

*Inuyasha vol 16 and 17 by Rumiko Takahashi. A young woman is sucked into the Feudal era Japan after falling into the family well located in her back yard. She discovers demons, demon slayers, and pirests are real. Along with that, she discovers she possesses the mystical Shikon Jewel, but accidentally it's shattered, and now she must find it before it falls in the wrong hands. Along the way, Inuyasha and Kagome meet new friends and allies. 

Nonfiction

*Why fish don't exist by Lulu Miller. This is a story about loss and love. I have no idea what to expect but I am trying to read at least a nonfiction a month so I'm ready to be surprised by this book. 

If I complete this list I might go with the third priority list I made for this month. I am not going to include it in my official TBR, I already have too many books as it is.

Thank you for the patience here, have a great start to the month, and stay safe! Let me know some of your reading plans or the priority book for this month in the comments.
