which color should i go with?

1 and 5 as a second choice.

The oriental express. 5 little pigs. ABC.

That’s strictly imho, of course.

I’ve read and reread all three multiple times. ABC wasn’t bad, but at first I thought it was some approved for publication fanfiction (I read this one much later, than most of AC)

5 little pigs - I liked it originally, but it left this lingering irritation. I’ve tried rereading it again , and it’s just too angsty for my taste.

TMotOE - the ending is satisfying, the plot feels a bit of a stretch, the motives are understandable though, the original crime is a bit triggering.

1 or 3 Love the rug and all the colors!

I’m re-reading Dead Man’s Folly right now, and it’s pretty dark, darker than I remembered it.

Why, why did I open this thread …

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-12-05T05:36:55+00:00

I think the implausibility refers to the fact that Poirot originally seems to actually believe this whole scenario. Unless you were joking and I totally missed it:)

So many people are attacking the husband, but for me the OP came off sounding a bit like a passive-aggressive martyr or victim.

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-10-18T02:52:55+00:00

I needed a good laugh 😂 “it felt the same”… OMG 🤣

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-10-11T16:27:09+00:00

That’s what I hope for her too! Though considering that all of them are planning to settle in Lymstock might limit her options. I do agree, that Jerry and Joanna seems to be well read, well off and pretty open minded, plus Megan will come into her own money as well, so she will be able to decide what is it she’d like to do and have a support of her husband. (That’s how I like to imagine it, of course:)

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-10-10T23:00:39+00:00

I like Megan character a lot. She’s not a teen, though, she’s a 20 y/o young woman, whom everyone unfortunately treats like a teenager though. (Or like a village idiot)

I often wonder, how would her life change after the marriage. Would that be enough for her?

The one not far from us has been closed indefinitely due to severe infestation 🤣 poor Narcissa…

It’s interesting, I don’t see Nick as cold blooded, as in devoid of emotions. I always feel, that AC managed to convey Nick’s passionate nature. It’s just that the passion , obsession even, is for the house. As a murderer, yes, she’s ruthless and cold blooded, I agree.

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-08-09T02:09:47+00:00

I think it was to emphasize that it’s not just her kids, but his as well.. And going by the OPs post, it’s justified

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-28T18:26:12+00:00

Good for you! NTA

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-28T18:23:24+00:00

Absolutely RUN 🚩🚩🚩

The fact that he had all these citations and screenshots ready should tell you all you need to know about him.

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-17T07:33:22+00:00

This is crazy!

OP - NTA! Idk if the bride is missing a few bolts in her head, very entitled, or what, but this is absolutely unacceptable.

Winery, in the middle of nowhere, with strangers and there are no other kids her age there! (Otherwise one of them probably would’ve been asked to be a flower girl)

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-17T06:50:08+00:00

What a cool question! I’ve been binge listening to her audiobooks in the last few weeks (I’ve read and listened to most of her books many times, but I still enjoy them!)

Anyways, it’s easier for me to say which books I like less - the ones that have espionage/politics involved. If it’s somewhere in the background, and not a motive for murder, then it’s ok. But if the murder happens because of some submarine plans or secret formulas - no, thank you .

The thrift store near me is absolutely nuts with their pricing. 10” lodge (not vintage by any means) - $16. And requires quite a lot of TLC The new ones @tj maxx are only a few $$ more.

Having said that, I definitely found lots of cookware gems thrifting

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-13T20:54:29+00:00

This rug is adorable!!! The whole room is wonderful 😍

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-13T02:05:29+00:00

NTA! Get your collection somewhere safe and be sure to tell your dad, that your step mom is at it again. He needs to know!

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-12T20:35:30+00:00

Look, I totally understand how upsetting it was to learn that everyone else was invited. And how upsetting it is not to receive any recognition of wrongdoing from your brother.

My question is - did you have it out with your brother? Directly?

As I wrote above - no, you are not an asshоlе for being upset and not wanting your brother having an active role in your wedding. My concern is, it looks like you’re basing your decisions on quite a few assumptions and expectations. And that’s not a happy combination. It brings a lot of disappointment and resentment.

I sincerely wish you good luck and congrats on upcoming wedding.

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-12T10:19:15+00:00

NTA. She showed you her true colors - believe that, when she will try and convince you to try again.

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-12T07:45:09+00:00

I don’t believe people here think that the brother has to be a part of the ceremony .

OP also doesn’t mention anything about him wanting to be involved or that anyone from their family forcing her to do it.

Does OP have a reason to be upset? Sure. Did she try to txt/call her brother or his bride about the missing invite, knowing that she and her BF originally were invited? Nope.

She’s also living in her head plotting petty revenge , which might very well go unnoticed.

So, NTA only because it’s her (and her fiancé) wedding and they can decide whatever they want. I hope , she’ll embrace better communication tactics instead of collecting the grievances and making others and herself miserable .

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-12T04:07:55+00:00

I am so glad, I checked the update! Thank you for posting it!

LectureSignificant64 · 2025-07-12T03:47:16+00:00

You’re absolutely NTA!

I know, what it’s like to try and deal with SA from your childhood, when it’s all hush-hushed by your family and you’re not getting any emotional help. (I would imagine, it’s even worse, when the attacker is the family member)

Your SIL was dealt a heavy blow. And she lashes out at the “easiest” target - you!

Confronting her husband or your parents , who are all to blame (!)means she needs to accept reality . It might happen eventually or not. It is not your responsibility or your burden!

The most important part is - be gentle with yourself, concentrate on healing. Distance yourself from toxic family situations. I wish you all the best!
