I am happy to step a little bit outside the true intent of the category to offer some great giveaways. I trust I won’t hear any complaints, will I?
I haven’t had a chance to watch (or read) any of Agatha Christie’s Poirot: The Definitive Collection, which I really wanted to do before I posted it here. I actually checked a book out from the library so that I could read and watch and compare, but I didn’t get around to it. I haven’t read Christie in a while, and I would like to, but maybe one of you is a Poirot fan and would like to do a Books on Screen comparing a movie to the book.
I think that this would make a great gift! I always wonder what to give grandparents, and some of them do have DVD players, so classic films are a great way to go! This set of 12 feature-length films from A&E is available on amazon.
The other film that fits I am including here, simply because it has “tale” in the title (and I have five to give away, so that’s another reason) is A Lobster Tale. I did get a chance to watch this. It’s a fairly family-friendly movie (ages 10 or 12 and up) about greed, true happiness, being who you are — oh, yeah, and a miracle moss.
I will draw from the comments one winner of the Poirot DVD set, and five for A Lobster Tale DVD. Unless you state your preference, your comment will enter you for both prizes.
I’ll post the winners on Wednesday December 3.

i love poirot. miss marple is fun, in a cozy way, but poirot is delectably persnickety.
we have a tie to maine, so i would love either prize.
thanks for going outside your usual. and read agatha again, when you have 15 minutes. her books are so satisfying, and still small in time commitment.
Please enter me for Poirot! My favorite… 🙂

Please enter me for Poirot. I’m a big Agatha Christie fan.

Agatha Christie is such a wonderful writer. It would be fun to “see” more of the stories. If I win, this just might be a present for myself.

I would love the Poirot Collection. I watch those every chance I get on PBS.
No complaints at all! I have seen one Poirot episode and liked it but somehow just never got into the series. I’d love to see more. I’ve never read Agatha Christie — she is an author I do want to try out some day. My preference would be for the Poirot DVDs, but if someone else wins that first I’d be happy to take Lobster Tale. 🙂
I am an Agatha Christie fanatic-even named my oldest cat after her(Aggie)and have read every one of her books. The Poirot pacakge would be super. But I also have hears good things about the Lobster Tale so that would be interesting as well.Thanks for offering both of these.
A Lobster Tale sounds very engaging to me.
I love the prizes. Count me in.
I love Agatha Christie, and the Poirot series is excellent.
Please enter me for the Poirot videos. I love Agatha Christie and am currently reading my way (and reviewing) through all 80 of her crime novels starting with the first published, and on from there. The most recent, last week, was The Mystery of the Blue Train.
Would love to se the Poirot collection! Love Agatha Christie!

Like you I haven’t read anything Agatha Christie in a long long time, but I remember them well. Poirot is very good and this would make an excellent gift or even to keep for yourself. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!
