2022 General Reading: May (+ Writing Update)

First day of Winter in this part of the world. Not cold, of course. Dunedin hasn’t had a properly cold winter since 2015. But the skies are appropriately grey.

It is also time for my monthly reading and writing update.

Completed reads for May:

• Sad Cypress, by Agatha Christie
• The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, by Agatha Christie
• The Shield, by Menander (fragments)
• The Hero, by Menander (fragments)
• The Farmer, by Menander (fragments)
• The Sicyonians, by Menander (fragments)
• The Characters, by Theophrastus
• The Lover of Lies, by Lucian of Samosata
• Parker Pyne Investigates, by Agatha Christie
• The Mysterious Mr Quin, by Agatha Christie
• The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
• Partners in Crime, by Agatha Christie
• All Hallows’ Eve, by Charles Williams
• The Sittaford Mystery, by Agatha Christie

I have now read more Agatha Christie books (42) than Terry Pratchett books (41 plus half of Good Omens). The only author by whom I have read more individual books is Michael Moorcock (56).

In the writing department, May was unfortunately a fairly quiet month on account of pesky real-life commitments getting in the way, though I did get a decent amount of editing done. Old Phuul sits at a tad over 57,600 words.
