A Girl That Likes Books is challenging us to share a book inspired recipe
with the reason or inspiration ...
Here's my recipe for London Fog
inspired by all the foggy London England reads that jump off shelves at me!
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!

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.

I like the book cover poetry challenge. Such a creative way to write a poem. Thanks for sharing on Small Victories Sunday linkup.
Never heard of Death Comes to the Village, but cozy mysteries are always delightful. And paired with a good tea, it's perfect :)
Looks like a nice selection of books! I loved The Violets of March, as you know.
Enjoy!
