Tracy (tracyisreading) | 2573 comments Good luck and enjoy your challenge :-)

I just finished To Kill a Mockingbird, and I loved it!! Such a good story, I sat down and read it in a day.

I need to try Agatha Christie (I think I have one on a challenge list for 2018) A lot of fans in this group and I'm not sure Ive read anything by her yet....ever. Maybe when I was in middle school? I can't remember.

Tracy: I am a huge Agatha Christie fan and also a part of another book club (@maidensofmurder Instagram) where we read one AC mystery per month. I have tried to incorporate their choices into ATY52 themes, that's why you see multiple Christie mysteries in the above list. I am sure you will enjoy her writing. :-)
