The tin has spoken.
Next read for fiction:
Great tales of detection has 19 short stories selected and introduced by Dorothy L. Sayers. This collection was originally published in 1936, but it's still easy to find this more "recent" edition from Everyman.
Sayers edited several short stories collections and besides the interesting stories, she also wrote insightful introductions about the history and development of the genre.
I'll be using an Oxford related bookmark.
Next read for non-fiction:
Howdunit is a collection of essays about the genre and the work of detective, crime, thrillers authors. The articles are all from the past and present members of The Detection Club, organised and edited by Martin Edwards.
Bookmark from the Portuguese edition of The Floating Admiral, also a The Detection Club work.

No Sun and quite cold: the weather decided I should be in an armchair with a blanket, reading. The book is "Poirot: the greatest detective in the world" by Mark Aldridge (check my previous post if you want to see the cover). Two chapters to finishing it.
The is protected by a crochet cover I made myself. Wasn't sure, but it works really well. It was quite simple: 21 granny squares sewed together ☺️

I'm halfway through "Agatha Christie's Poirot" by Mark Aldridge and it's being a delight (swipe for the cover). My preference goes to the context, discussing, and analysis Aldridge does for each work and adaptation, but the book is full of "extras" that add up to the arguments, like unpublished excerpts from Christie's autobiography, interviews, letters, reader reports, reactions at the time to the book's publication, visual and radio adaptations, some of which did not survive, but others that are still available, showing the rigorous and huge amount of work and research Aldridge must have put into this book.
The text is accompanied by book covers from editions through time and different countries. Some of these, depicting Poirot. As a reader that sometimes feels the adaptation doesn't portray the characters quiet as I imagined them, I do understand the resistance Christie had with depictions of Poirot. Still, I find it interesting to see how he was portrayed.
So, I thought I would share some of Portuguese book covers that depict Poirot. These are from the Portuguese collection, , that was quite important for the dissemination of the genre in Portugal. The collection has more than 700 volumes and it was published between 1947 and 2008.

I've been dipping in and out of "Poirot, The Greatest Detective in the World" by Mark Aldridge since it came out, but I wanted to read it "properly" :-)
I started it yesterday's night thinking I would read just a little bit, but I'm must confess this is one most difficult to put it down 😍
Husband and I took Suchet DVDs out and are watching them in order, I'm also re-reading some of the books because of that, so the time for "Poirot" couldn't be better.
Can I just add how beautiful I think this cover is?

In this I'm sharing a we got from a library near by that was selling used .

1 - England Today by the Portuguese Historian Oliveira Martins (a limited edition), a collection of travel letters about England (London, mostly?) originally published in a newspaper from Brasil in 1892, which I'm most curious about.
2 - A Portuguese translation of Jane Eyre
3 - The Halloween Tree by Bradbury translated as The Sacred Tree part of the that was published in Portugal more or less as a similar collection as but for science fiction works
4 - Two volumes titled Facts, Persons, and Books. A collection of previously published (1953 - 1961) articles about literary genres, authors, language, translation, and other book related subjects
5 - A manual that teaches the process of bookbinding

The last two photos are from the beautiful building in in north of Portugal
