I more or less grew up with the movie-series of Miss Marple (been watching them every summer at my grandmas since I was like, idk, 12?), and as it turns out my other grandma is really into the Poirot series, so that’s the only we were watching at hers for a few summers. I really really love these movies, with the wonderful old atmosphere and the intriguing mysteries. I’ve been meaning to read the books lately, so thanks for the review💙
Oooooooooh I love Books so much. Just a suggestion you should try to read Disney A Twisted Tales Series there's a Total of 12 Books Tiana's Twisted story is coming in around September 2022.
@@ClaireKinmil that’s good. Rainbow magic book have your name on one of the book ‘ Clare the accessories fairy’ also I know I send a lot of requests but there’s no rush on them
I find this habit of looking back at history and art and trying to make it fit into today’s context very tiresome. It serves no purpose other than to be nit picky, cynical and divisive.
I find it fascinating to learn and examine what people just 100 years ago thought was acceptable and what wasn't. Also what has changed in the meantime, and what hasn't. I don't think it's nitpicky or divisive.
@@ClaireKinmil ok, that’s just fine. But I don’t see what good it does to point out Christie’s lack of diversity in her work. Times change and the good news is we can learn from the past and be more inclusive now. Have you seen BBC, ITV or American/Canadian shows in the past 15-20 years? There is so much inclusion. I really think that Christie’s work (and her enormous sales) speak for themselves. I seriously doubt it’s surprising to anyone that there isn’t a ton of diversity in her work and it doesn’t make it any less valid. To point these things out is taking art from 100 years ago and holding to our standard today. From which no good can come. You may not see how nitpicky and divisive this is but that doesn’t mean it isn’t just that. 💙 thanks for your response
Yes, I know we have come a long way. That's actually why I mention the diversity thing. I believe many people who grew up with the new media don't have the expectation of reading exclusively about wealthy white people, even in a historical context. I'm mentioning it so people can adjust their expectations. Especially since I go on to praise her for her social commentary. So it is because I believe we can and should learn from the past, that I point it out. Not as something good or bad, but as something that just is. We will have to agree to disagree :)
@@ClaireKinmil I really admire your comment. Thank you for being so thoughtful. I know that you appreciate and respect Christie’s work that was not my issue. I completely agree about us learning from the past as I think maybe I even brought up in the above comments and I do see your side of things. However, the one thing that I think you were missing here is that especially in these times people wanted to escape. (Thing 30s-50s MGM movies.) Escaping into a world that was grander than theirs and have a great time trying to solve a mystery. Why do you think most of her stories and novels take place with middle-class to wealthy people in beautiful cottages or palatial country homes? People love seeing this in the old days. And quite frankly I like seeing it still in the modern adaptations of her work. Even consider the 80s miss Marple and the long running Poirot series. And don’t think that Christie was naive thinking that her way of life was going on forever. A murder is announced is a very very good example of how Christie herself knew, because she was seeing how the British upper classes where disintegrating and would never have the power or wealth they did before both world wars.
I would say his number two on fictional detectives list

I will check them out!
The moustache did sound great! Almost as good as the analysis.
🥰 great to see you. How are you doing? Ever heard of the book series Rainbow magic 🌈
Now I've heard of them :)
I'm ok, all things considered. Slowly getting back to all life's obligations.
@@ClaireKinmil that’s good. Rainbow magic book have your name on one of the book ‘ Clare the accessories fairy’ also I know I send a lot of requests but there’s no rush on them
Can you please talk about the book “it ends with us”?
I have found that romances aren't really a thing I enjoy reading, so I don't think I will.
@@ClaireKinmil oh ok!
You should read diary of a wimpy kid from the 1st one to the one 16th
I've heard great things about it, but I don't think it's for me now.
