The Agatha Christie Canon Challenge

I am SO excited for this challenge: Read the Christie Canon. That's right all 66 novels and 14 short stories. This project was partially inspired by Audrey and Emily's amazing blog The Year of Agatha. Its is so much fun and has a ton of other great content, definitely go check it out!




It goes without saying that I love Agatha Christie and Golden Age Crime writing it is my comfort zone all the way. I have read many of her works and watched some of the movie and series adaptations of her work. It has been one of my big bucket list items to read all of her works in publication order. I will be following the list provided by the official Agatha Christie website and reviewing each one as I go down the list. I will also be providing bonus content about the film adaptations and other extras. Each title will become a link as the review is posted.

  1. This is awesome! I'd love to pick an author and to read their entire backlist sometime, but it feels like such a big commitment and I can never decide who! I haven't read ANY Agatha Christie yet - but I'm planning to change that this year!

  2. Yes, I'll admit I'm a little intimidated by the sheet size of her backlist! This will definitely be a multi-year project, but I'm super excited to try it. Let me know what you think of your first Agatha Christie book!:D
