@evelyn I started reading North and South last night! I immediately recognized Margaret’s voice, which I was already familiar with from the BBC adaptation—just goes to show how well they captured her voice for the screen.

As for The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, I think Christie pulled it off brilliantly, especially when you reread sections after the fact. As a reader, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped; the constant dialogue wore on me a little. But, as a writer, I enjoyed studying how she executed the story. What did you think of it?

Because I had been aware of what she was doing prior to reading it, I’ve started And Then There Were None intentionally unaware of EVERYTHING about it. I haven’t even read the back cover blurb! (I read somewhere these two were her most difficult to write.)

Hmm. I’m intrigued by Bleak House; it’s been added to my list.

To Evelyn and @the-fledgling-artist: Maybe at a later time! Right now, I’m working on a short story for my blog. I am curious about them, though. What do you like about participating in a guild? And, what does the time commitment look like?
