For this week, I’ve selected the following prompt from the advanced section of the 2020 Popsugar Reading Challenge:
A book set in the 1920s.
As soon as I searched Goodreads for the list of books that fit this prompt, I found the book. Number one on the list of books set in the 1920s is this :
The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald.
I’ve been meaning to read this book for quite a while now and I’m glad I finally get the chance. It’s also been made into a movie starring Leonardo Dicaprio but haven’t seen that yet. I always prefer to watch the movie adaptations after reading the book.
About the book I read last week, The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie.
This book is dramatic. No other word for it. It’s got all of the fantastic stuff :
- a secret organization with secret headquarters
- foreign spies and international politics
- important secret documents
- a group of amateurs trying to solve the crime
You get the gist.
Although it doesn’t feature either Poirot or Marple, it was still a great read. I loved the characters and even though this felt more like a thriller than a murder mystery, the suspense when revealed left my mind reeling. Every. Single. Time.
