When I've finished a very silly comedy downloaded from SmashWords, I intend to read An English Murder by Cyril Hare. Friends and family gather in Warbeck Hall for Christmas and are snowed in. One of them is murdered. It's basically a quaint detective story, presumably of the Christie type.
I may then re-read some old Christie's. I've lost track of which of hers I've read, but it's been quite a few. Many years ago when I took in lodgers, I used to swap detective novels with one of them: mostly Agatha and Ellis Peters. Both make great winter reading and it's been decades, so hopefully I've forgotten the plots.
One story I hate, because it makes me sad, is A Christmas Carol. So I won't be reading, or watching that this winter.
