Agatha Raisin...

Thursday 31st March 2011

Goodness... When it comes to my reading habits... 

I always seem to get completely caught up in reading a whole series...

The most recent one that I have lost whole days reading is the Agatha Raisin series by M C Beaton.

I just happened to be browsing through Bargain Books and saw a few books from the Agatha Raisin series and I bought...

Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death

Agatha Raisin and the Wizard of Evesham

Agatha Raisin and the Witch of Wyckhadden

Agatha Raisin and the Fairies of Fryfam

Agatha Raisin and the Love from Hell (truly hilarious)

Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came

Now that I have finished reading these... 

and I started the series in the middle (missed the first 6 books out of the series)...

Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death

Agatha Raisin and the Vicious Vet

Agatha Raisin and the Potted Gardener

Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley

Agatha Raisin and the Murderous Marriage

Agatha Raisin and the Terrible Tourist

Of course... I normally find myself going straight to Amazon.co.uk to find the rest of the series...

but there just seemed to be too many...

I have really enjoyed reading these books... she is a modern day... middle aged Miss Marple who happily blunders through and into the middle of murder cases...

So I am feeling rather self righteous and have reserved

Agatha Raisin and the Curious Curate

Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House

Agatha Raisin and the Deadly Dance

Agatha Raisin and the Perfect Paragon

Agatha Raisin and the Love, Lies and Liquor

Agatha Raisin and the Kissing Christmas Goodbye

from my local library... 

they even have a very useful email service to let me know when they arrive...

Of course all of them have arrived except for the one that I need to read next...

Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House...

This is always the way of things.  I just have to find patience and get on with work that needs to be done.

Only two more in the series after I read the ones above...

Agatha Raisin and a Spoonful of Poison

and

Agatha Raisin:  There Goes the Bride

I'm also holding my breath because when I went to look at the authors Website... which of course I couldn't resist doing...  I discovered on her News page that the BBC are intending to repeat their Agatha Raisin series on BBC Radio 7 very soon...  I am now checking the Radio 7 website on a daily basis...
