Add a  couple  tablespoons milk to teacup or mug Pour  boiling water over Earl Grey flavoured black tea [loose leaves for flavour] in tea ball or strainer in cup or teapot While steeping, add a few drops vanilla to cup or pot, to your taste and about a 1/2 teaspoon honey or sweetener to your cup  along with additional milk if needed to adjust to taste and fogginess. EnJoY!

~ Reading in conjunction with the April 20-26th Spring Readathon at Michelle's Seasons of Reading - my focus is mysteries.
Final mystery read for this one?  Death at Buckingham Palace by Canadian author, C.C. Benison. ~

When a young footman dies in unusual circumstances, twenty year old Canadian maid, Jane Bee, is skeptical of rumors the death was a suicide. She probes the darkest corners of the royal mansion for clues that will reveal the surprising identity of a murderer stalking the halls of the world's most famous palace.
{ 1st in Her Majesty Investigates series }
Local author, CC Benison, writes with humour that keeps me happily engrossed in the cosy content.  Glad to introduce his writing to those unfamiliar as yet -  you're sure to enjoy the series.




* Now gearing up for May's ARC Challenge.  A few on the kindle waiting their turn!
