    I'm sure I must have read that Nancy Drew, but otherwise all these books are new to me. An excellent list!

      I thought it was funny there was a Nancy Drew mystery with 13 in the title, so I had to include it. :)

    How creative, Lark! I know I've read the Christie book and also The Thirteenth Tale. Otherwise, looks like I need to make '13th' list!

    Such a great idea for a post! It has been a while since I have read an Agatha Christie and The Thirteen Problems sounds right up my alley. Thanks for sharing these!

    What a great list! I've read The Thirteenth Tale and I think I probably read the Nancy Drew book years ago. I would like to read The Thirteen Problems and Thirteen Guests too.

    I had no idea there were so many books with 13 in the title! I'm sure I read Agatha Christie's Thirteen Problems, not that I'd remember the plot after so many years, lol. Probably read the Nancy Drew one, too. :)

    I used to watch horror films every Friday the 13th but I'm annoyed that I missed it this time round!

      I noticed one cable channel here was doing a marathon of Friday the 13th movies. :D

    I was a terrible reader. I celebrated Friday the 13th and the harvest moon with a pumpkin martini (so much yum) and a horror film.
