- Counting down like Wernher von Braun with a new toy rocket!
We all have books we are excited to read, but this tags gets us thinking about what and why (and only then, when).
I was tagged by @BookChatWithPat8668 and the tag was created by @ToReadersItMayConcern and @ProseAndPetticoats

It's a nice tag. Of course you kind of have to know something about the book to look forward to it! Some great choices.
Thank you so much for participating! I am just now discovering your channel and am glad to be here!
Such a fun tag!! Loved hearing your answers and I’m hoping to film my own soon.
Ah, very enjoyable, I've really enjoyed discovering your channel. I also read a lot of fantasy (not so much SciFi) & magic realism, but I also read a lot of poetry & mythology. And, I've also just done this tag, a lot of fun - quite a lark. I look forward to following your adventures with reading.
Great responses. Really interesting choices. Roll on the year long Proust readathon 😂
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd isn't the first Poirot, but it is one of the best and they don't need to be read in order unless you really want to. I really enjoyed Childhood’s End. Thanks for tagging me!
So many great books here, Gavin! I love Madame Bovary too. I liked The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and it has a bit of controversy related to it-which we can discuss after you’ve read it. There are others of hers, though, that I liked better. I’m approaching Proust with more apprehension than excitement, but maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Great responses. Thanks for doing the tag! 😊
Exactly! I want to read all of the books now. There are so many books to be excited about. I haven't read any Agatha Christie either. 🤣shhh, don't tell the wife you took one of her books. LOL That's funny. I don't think I've read Proust either. 🤔 Hmmm, maybe I'll add him to my wishlist if you give his writing a good review. No pressure. LOL Thank you for tagging us.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd was my first Agatha Christie novel I read, too, but I don't think it's a Miss Marple novel. It was good but not great, which has been my opinion of every Agatha Christie novel I've read.
If you are going to read Shaver, you should start with the Lafferty version (Continued Next Rock). The Ray Palmer biography (The Man From Mars) is also good at putting it in context.
Hm, these are to be books you are going to read so I am not sure how to do the emotional one unless it's a reread.
