I am very surprised to check and find out that I have read the book list published in UK in what you might call the mainstream i.e. Collins regular releases up to M Final Cases. I haven't any of the Mary W novels or her poetry. I haven't read the later novelisations of her scripts. However, there are several early films that I haven't seen. There are 15 that I read again and again. The best: Cards on the Table.

In case anyone doesn't know, if you've recorded every book from her you've read onto this site click "My Books" and near the end on the left side there is a spot to click called "most read authors." If you've read at least two books by her it will appear on this list.I've read 17 of hers so far. And as of this moment she is my most-read author!
I'm still adding those I've read before - I constantly re read her books.
Thanks CJ for tip, Agatha is my most read author with 32 books, only Stephen King comes close.
I've challenged myself to read (or re-read in some cases) all of her UK published novels and short story collections this year. (That's not including anything written under a pen name). My challenge list has 80 books on it - I got the list from the Agatha Christie website - and as of today I've read 56 of them. Favourites are 'Death on The Nile', 'The Murder of Roger Ackroyd' and 'And Then There Were None', all of which I've read more than once. I think I'm addicted to Agatha Christie books!
I often find I pick up more details too, the second time around! When I joined goodreads, I decided to start completely afresh and not add titles I've read before!!
And I also find them just as thrilling and cosy the next re read around :)
That's great! I've also printed up the lists from Christies site and I'm reading all of them in order! I just took a little break and read some cat cozies. Now back to agatha!
And good stuff Joshua. 32 for me and counting because I've not added them all yet :)
I have read all her Poirot and Miss Marple series. I just finished her Tommy and Tuppence series. And the stand alones were ready 10 years ago. Her plays were great. Her love stories I have not read.
That's great! I've only read one Mary Westmacott novel, I'd like to read more though.
Brooklyn, What did you think about her Mary Westmacott novel you read?
I loved it! It's called "Absent In The Spring" - I recommend it - fascinating characters!
Now you have me intrigued! I dont read love stories usually, but I may try later! Thanks for the feedback.
