The Agatha Christie book tag (ORIGINAL)

hello welcome to Lille 2012 today I have an original tag for you save myself and Julie from the channel the hungry bookworm whose channel I will leave link for in the description below Julie Cohen contacted me and said would you like to a tag together and I was like yes please so we have created this Agatha Christie book tag and we hope that you really really enjoy it so we've got 10 questions for you I'm gonna get straight into it because she named me I love I could Christie I could just chat about her all day so the first question is how did you first get into reading accuracy and which of her books did you read first so I first got back into I first got into Agatha Christie when I was I think I was about 19 I just come home for my first year at University and I was sorting things out in my bedroom and I sort of had papers just I've just got a lot of junk and in the background I had on the channel itv3 which has like lots of mysteries and they too have things they play a lot of frost and more sand Luis nice things and they had on a good old chunk few hours worth of Frost's I put that on then little did I know that had finished but I'd still tidying up and on came David Suchet sanitation of the mysterious affair at styles which is the first report on mystery I thought I watched for five minutes two hours later I'd finished it I loved it I thought oh oh just watch that was brilliant went downstairs to the TV Guide and started to surf called all of them so for the next couple of weeks I was just watching David Suchet to Poirot I started watching the my smile pulled that one on as well and I thought I could Christie I was all over basically and then me and my friends went to a shopping center and in that shopping center was a water stains and I went over to the crime section not to Agatha Christie they didn't have mysterious about stars which was what I wanted I wanted to start the beginning with Poirot but they had a selection of others and the one that I chose to pick up for myself was this book this exact book to actually measure on the Orient Express goes back to Christie and I pick this up take her home I had it in my little WaterSense bag and sat on my bed and just started reading it on the Saturday afternoon finished a few hours later read it in one sitting didn't look up once I was just utterly amazed absolutely adored it and I have read it and reread it many a time since so yeah that was my very first Agatha Christie book and it's a book that I don't suggest that you start with Agatha Christie I do suggest that you start if you want to start with Pryor's start with history's first article I start Miss Marple start with the meadow at vicarage but it is a wonderful wonderful mystery that I do really enjoy rereading - have you read any books on Agatha and her life autobiographies biographies x-ray - yes I have so I have read her own autobiography I have this kind of funny cover here and as you can see I've tabbed it's you different bits probably all different books of my favorites probably I've also read um bog refuse like I've got her notebooks and things like that I've watched just a couple of documentaries and I could turn her life and then I did I did a whole review on this which I'll leave for you up here somewhere this is a graphic novel but like a biography so the real life of Agatha Christie and here is the cow call it is like her life and you know her life is really interesting because it's it's not as happy as people would make out sort of thing you know you think oh this was a woman who's very successful in a time you know but you know she had difficult marriage she obviously went missing at a time and it's all these different things you know it's not perfection like a lot of people kind of think that your life's gonna be so yeah I have and I really enjoy reading them as well it's interesting to learn about her three have you watched any adaptations of Agatha Christie's books films TV shows plays etc if so do you have a favorite yes I think everyone knows my favorite my favorite is the act Christie's Poirot by David Suchet David Suchet is the perfect pour it's not even controversial to say because he is you can't deny it he when he took the role he got the books of Poirot stuck them pen paper and just started writing notes and the first thing he wrote belgium not french and he broke all these different things honey lumps of sugar he should have in his drinks that he always puts like a handkerchief down before he sits down on like a park bench or something he worked on things like his wart and the way that he holds his hands and all these different things and David Suchet just got it down to perfection I think if you adored the books you adore David sushis adaptation I think if you're someone who's just a in an out reader of horror I think he could actually probably really like most adaptations of pouring of course Agatha Christie herself being famous in her own time she had lots of adaptations of Poirot in her lifetime none of which she really likes but David Suchet met Rosamond Agatha Christie's daughter and she said I'm pretty sure my mother would have approved of you which is amazing because cause she didn't approve any this before so yet he was wonderful and he's always very careful to make sure we're not laughing at him we just kind of we smiled to ourselves about him because he's wonderful so that is my favorite I do also really like Jardin McEwan's version of Miss Marple I think she was wonderful she has this approachability about her I think Miss Marple has I think Miss Marple is really tricky to play I do like Jane Hickman as well I did like I'm Julia Mackenzie there's this note that I have liked but Giada McHugh is definitely a standout for me I like the approach Verdi that she has I've always thought if I was in an Agatha Christie I'd want to be in a Miss Marple because she's more approachable I um what else did I like oh I've got one to actually show you here I really like this for Tommy and happens and partners in crime this is an old one now and it stars who does it start Francesca Eames Jack Warwick I think yeah this is from the nineteen eighties yeah 1983 this is the best Tommy interprets I've ever seen I didn't really like the David Walliams well sorry I didn't think that was right and they did do the Jeremy see Miss Marple they did like pricking of my thumb's which is a tummy interprets novel but they put Miss Marple in it and they had Tommy and tuppence there and I wasn't too keen on that either i if there's some stunt lines as well that's been good I enjoyed the and then there were none by the BBC a few years ago that was really scary and what brilliant I also enjoyed the crooked house which was on route 5 but there has been some shocking ones as well that I won't even go into I think that's a whole new video in itself just terrible adaptations and Agatha Christie's books that is definitely a video to do a bit self let me know if you'd like that and of course the brilliant one that I've seen is the mousetrap I went to the West End seen the master up and highly recommend it it is wonderful it's the best West End show that I've seen by far I'm saying that I've only seen three but one of them was the front of the opera which was also incredible but the mousetrap was just brew if you're a fan of Agatha Christie you love the mousetrap it's obvious question for which book of Agatha Christie's has your favorite villain I thought about this long and hard and I came to five little pigs this is my favorite Agatha Christie book ever and the reason why this has my favorite villain is just for the ending and it's just brutal and it's just like no it's just so good I like how blunt it is and how Agatha Christie put quite a bit of sass into that I was like that is a good ending of the villain I won't to say anything else but yeah that's got my favorite filling in it because it's it's kind of not what you want but everything else that you do want you want all that sass that I got the Christie right and it was just it's great so yeah it's got my villain M question at five which book are Agatha Christie's would you like to read such reread next now Julie from hunky she runs every other month a reading of a Christie's and she asked me if I would like to help pick the next one and I have picked the mysterious affair at styles if you'd like to join in let me know in the comment section and we'll let you know when it's taking place or we'll do a video or something like that so yeah that is one that I want to reread other than that I really want to reread I can show you so the billionth time hickory dickory dock I'm really in the mood for you read this one I don't know why I just um it's a great book I love it very much so yeah question is six Miss Marple or Poirot and explain your reasoning about your choice also favorite non recurring characters so just one from the books that you've loved so I'll miss marple and Paro Paro I've done it my favorite reoccurring characters video before which I'll leave you up here poor is just someone who it's very distinctive and I know very very well like an old friend so it has to be him and my favorite non reoccurring character features in sad Cyprus and that is owner Carlisle who at the beginning the book she is in the dock and she's charged with the murder of her fiance's love her sort of thing um and Ehrlich Allah is someone who is has this real elegance and dignity about her despite the fact that she is literally in the dock fighting for her life sort of thing and I just adore her so yes she's my favorite character 7 Agatha Christie also wrote as Mary Westmacott have you read any of these books is say what did you think of them and where they like her other books I haven't read any Mary Westmacott I've read all of Agatha Christie's books that she's written as Agatha Christie but I've never read any that she's written as Mara Westcott however this is something that I will be doing very very soon and actually I was thinking of running a little book club so we could read them together if you fancy if you're up for that let me know in the comment section so there's a couple of reads that we can do together very Agatha Christie themed and I will pass on dates to you I'll probably do a whole video if I do decide to for any little book but eight there are quite a few books that feature agatha as the character rather than the author talk about the ones you have read and really enjoyed if you have not then would you like to now i haven't read any books without there's a character but i have watched some TV shows channel five every year or so they do em around christmas they do some shows on Agatha and her life the one this year oh well this year 2019 it was good wasn't as good as the previous one where it was thinking of what happened when she went missing and she actually solves a murder and I was like that is brilliant I love that one so yeah that is a great one to watch that I think you can watch that unlike all five or five a deal whatever it's called Channel Five's iPlayer essentially you can watch on there it's wonderful I'm I think they actually have it on Netflix at the moment as well so check that out really really good question 9 do you have a favorite Agatha Christie book that you find yourself return to again and again so for this I I thought really long and hard about this because there isn't just one there's a handful and I'm gonna share them with you so my all-time favorite five little pegs I come to again and again and that is actually do reread sad Cyprus I have just reread and would like to quite reread that again but I'm not going to I'm going to be very good and restrained hickory dickory dock as I said I want to reread that but that is born again I just pick up pick up pick up pick up like an absolute cycle mrs. McGinty's dead is one that I read and reread again and again saying with parallel end house and then murder at the vicarage and Caribbean mystery they're the only tea miss marple I do tend to reread over and over again this one is my favorite miss ma work anyway and those are the selection of agatha christie books that i just read and reread and and they're all my favorite books of agatha christie and but yeah there's it's those handful that i just i go to again and again and again some more than at this but yeah definitely those more than the rest of them and finally 10 she's known as the queen of crimes just another female crime or that whom you like to read I really enjoy reading and certainly she doesn't get enough attention at for my liking but I love her books and that is Britisher wentworth she has a wonderful detective called miss silver who is a governess she submit Miss Marple II she likes knitting she's based in London and she's got her own little office and she's a wonderful wonderful detective patricia wentworth writes a bit like Agatha Christie she's got a very similar writing style so I think if you like I'm Agatha Christie you'll really enjoyed Patricia Wentworth sadly I don't hear many people talking about her books I would love that to change I'd love more people to rave about her like I think she's just wonderful and so yes Patricia went back and 10 a jeep her Golden Age star I'm booked up for more modern take I love classic crime of that Golden Age interwar period I really do I love early part of 20th century crime because the writing is lovely the setting is always an absolute joy it's that nostalgic feeling of coziness I always find with with these sort of books I don't know why I just get that kind of real cozy feeling when I read them I have tried to read some modern crime books and I generally speaking I do enjoy them but I find the match day to have this kind of very scary element to them and there are a lot more kind of gory than the classical ones and I don't know if anybody else finds that so I do read them but just not as often I probably read one or two a year if that so yeah I am trying to get a little bit better though I am reading the frost books by Rd Wingfield and enduring those and those are from predominantly like the 90s or the early 2000s I just bought the Colin Dexter books which is the Moores books Inspector Morse so I'll be reading those I think those are those 80 well they're wrong what kind of error anyway I have also tried to read some like Carrie Greenwood and I think is it Corolla done something like that and they are modern books but they're sitting in the 20s and 30s and I don't like those I'd rather just read a classic crime so yes that is it that is the Agatha Christie book attack I hope you have really enjoyed watching it I hope you enjoyed listening to my answers now to tag people let's go tagging very simply if you have a youtube channel and you like the look of this tag I tagged you it's as simple as that because I want this tag to spread like wildfire I really want to hear people's answers if you do this tag please tag me on Twitter or Instagram or something like that that you're doing this tag I'd love to know about it and yeah if you don't have a youtube account but you'd quite like to do the tag then just put your answers in the comment section and we can chat about it because I want to hear your answers too so that is it I hope you've enjoyed it take care my shall see soon for next video bye for now
