My Favorite Genre

I am very fortunate indeed to be surrounded by so many books each day, and it is a little like being a kid in a candy store.  We have a plentiful number of mysteries here, and my very favorite are the British Mystery selections.

When did I not like to read this genre?

I remember a time when I could not read, and my sister (who was already in school) would teach me the alphabet by breathing on the window and writing the letters by wiping the condensation.  Shortly afterward I think it was Trixie Belden and Nancy Drew which got me started down the path of no return.

In university I remember reading rather too many Agatha Christie's.  Heaven!

Now almost all of the titles are out on DVDs, which are rather easier on my eyes. 

Where does the fascination come from?  That I cannot answer.  Fortunately, there is a whole nation of mystery lovers like myself.  Enjoy this video.

  1. Love your blog! Funny to think that Nancy Drew may have sent you down the path of mystery loving.

  2. And Archie, Betty and Veronica had a big effect on your future reading. Maybe it something that gets focused in us early in life. Interesting thought. Maybe that also explains why some people love country music. We missed that gene!
