Challenge #10
In your own space, create a fanwork.
I am a fan of the works of author Agatha Christie. My close friend gave me an Agatha Christie jigsaw puzzle for Christmas. It's 1000 pieces with 90 clues to titles and characters in Christie's work. I am on a life-long quest to read all of Agatha Christie's ouvre in UK publication order. I began January 2021. All my posts are under the 'all of Agatha' tag [https://stonepicnicking-okapi.dreamwidth.org/tag/all+of+agatha]. Last week I finished Absent in Spring [1944], which was published under the name Mary Westmacott. It was a tough read, not the least of which because I had to read it on archive.org, my least favourite medium. It's about a white British woman Joan Scudamore who gets stranded because of train problems in a rural rest house. She reflects on her life and comes to realize what a horrible person she is. I grew up among a lot of women who were like Joan, so it was a sad story but not a surprising one. Next up, I go back in time to ancient Egypt with Death Comes as the End.
One thing I learned from the puzzle was Agatha was an avid surfer! She surfed in many different places.
Also, in the poll challenge, the most popular theme was books. I did 2 spread yesterday with a book theme. I will go on to the second and third choices, Paris and purple.
