Friday Linkups: The Big Four

It's Friday and I love linking up with Book Blogger Hop hosted by Coffee Addicted Writer, Book Beginnings on Friday hosted by Rose City Reader and the Friday 56 hosted by Freda's Voice.

This Week's Question:
Do you visit the same blogs each week or do you branch out and try to find new blogs?

My Answer:
A little of both.  I have a pretty hefty list of blogs I follow on Bloglovin' and I try to keep up with those at least weekly though preferably daily.  I do try to visit every blog that linkups with memes that I participate with.  I also notice regular commenters on some of my favorite blogs and will sometimes go check out their blogs if their comment grabs my interest.

This week's book is The Big Four by Agatha Christie.  This is one of her international intrigue mysteries and one of the better ones.  To be honest, I prefer the straight up murder mysteries which is probably why I prefer Marple as a detective.  She doesn't do too much intrigue.

The Beginning:
"I have met people who enjoy a channel crossing; men who can sit calmly in their deck-chairs and, on arrival, wait until the boat is moored, then gather their belongings together without fuss and disembark.  Personally, I can never manage this."

The 56 (from my paperback):
"It is more serious than that, madame" said Poirot watching her.  "I propose to enter the villa next door, and release M. Halliday, if he is still alive.  I know everything you see."

I saw her sudden pallor. She bit her lip.  Then she spoke with her usual decision.

So what do you think?  Keep reading?
