Currently reading: The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie. I found A Pocket Full of Rye next in the unread list on the ereader and didn’t feel like that so I sought out a Miss Marple that I know I like.
Foolish Hope by Augustine Lang. I love these people! I just wish they were in a different story because romance is so much not my genre.
Next up: I’ll seek out more Inspector French because he’s awesome, and the books should be out of copyright (from the nineteen-twenties, mostly). Also I have some interesting-looking nonfiction (a book about girls’ boarding schools, for one). Or anything else that comes within reach and looks appealing, perhaps rereading Elemental Masters or something like that.
April 20 Inspector French and the Sea Mystery by Freeman Wills Crofts. As good as the other one. I liked the “show your work” aspects of the investigation, though that made it very complicated especially near the end. Nice resolution!
Kennut zijn dat ik u kan? en Taaltje wel, taaltje niet by Bert Japin (no links, because searching only gets me second-hand book sites). Collected essays/columns from the 1960s about various language idiosyncrasies, anecdotes, hilarious mistakes. Some rather dated but most still entertaining. It turns out to be from Taaltje wel, taaltje niet that I know that “Leyden” means “On the Two Streams”!
