I love a challenge! So it was a no-brainer that I'd join the Agatha
Christie Reading Challenge when I came across the Agatha Christie Reading Challenge Carnival Blog.
I'm not sure how long it's going to take me or how frequently I'll be reading the novels, but my long term goal is to read all of the novels (preferably in order of publication), including the romance novels Christie published under the pen name Mary Westmacott.

About Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie first tried her hand at detective fiction
while working in a hospital during World War I, creating the detective Hercule
Poirot in The Mysterious Affair at Styles
(1920). She achieved wide popularity with the appearance of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1926), and
produced a total of eighty novels and short-story collections over six decades.
Characterized by their innovative plotting and clever detectives, her works
were regular bestsellers in both England and America, and have been translated
into more than 50 languages, making her one of the most popular authors of all
time.
