Yes, she certainly does 'make my heart smile'. Not to mention the gorgeous summer blossoms!

My first Inspector Gamache - set in Canada's Eastern area of Quebec.  Written by popular Canadian author, Louise Penny. Loved it and already have more audios on library request. ~ Hunting Shadows by Charles Todd followed. ~

~ Another author first, audiobook, that won't be a last for me . ~ Next, a treat I've long awaited.  A Worthy Heart, 2nd in Canadian author, Susan Anne Mason's, Courage to Dream series, focusing on an Irish family's struggles and recoveries.  Heartfelt and engaging! ~

~

Stunning covers for every novel in the series! ~ Montreal by talented photographer, Debra Schoenberger ~

~ Atmospheric street photos show a unique aspect of this urban Canadian city in Quebec. ~ Needing a book with a weekday in its title for a challenge, I discovered this fun Melendy Family series of the 1940s. Authored by Elizabeth Enright.  Available on hoopla for free audio listening with excellent narration
by Pamela Dillman. ~

~*~ Spring Readathon Week with Michelle of Seasons of Reading begins midnight CDT tonight - April 18 - 24th One scary read of any genre, then grab whatever's next
on your reading list. Still time to signup HERE. ~
First up?? Anticipating finally getting into Julianna Deering's
4th of the Drew Farthering vintage mystery series that meets the "1 scary book" readathon requirement. ~

This traditional British mystery gets a Regency twist when Drew and Madeline Farthering celebrate their six-month anniversary by attending a fancy Regency era costume party. Their knowledge of Jane Austen is evident and plenty of quotes add to the reading enjoyment.

Drew is glad to see Talbot Cummins, an Oxford classmate, with his fiancée, Alice Henley, though many present seem worried about the couple. Everyone's concerns are realized when, at the concluding grand ball, Alice dies of an overdose of cocaine. Tal refuses to believe she took the stuff intentionally, and Drew is determined to find out if her death was an accident or murder.

Drew is shocked and disillusioned when the police arrest Tal's father and reveal that the man has been smuggling drugs into the country for the past twenty years. Tal, reeling from the death of his fiancée and the revelation about his father, begs Drew to find out what's going on. Drew, now questioning his own ability to see people as they really are, does so reluctantly, not ready for the secrets he's about to uncover--or the danger he'll bring down on everyone he holds dear. -publisher

BOOKMARKS & BOOKS: IT'S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING? 11.4.16

Thanks to Kathryn at Book Date

for hosting the long running Monday Book meme It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
~

~*~
I'm also adding bookmarks for this week's
BOOKMARK MONDAY post
hosted by Guiltless Reader  ~
Because who would admit to having more than needed ?I know.  It wouldn't be me!

I found this bookmark designed for the National Poetry Month April 2016.  Enlarge, save, and print if you'd like one. *

~ Are you reading any poetry books this April? My week's reading completions:

Irish author, Carlene O'Connor's debut - I listened to the hoopla audiobook -  great twists and options,
the ending was a surprise. ~
First Vanetta Chapman for me and the first in series showed her capability in the genre. Murder in the Amish village coffee shop, a surprising cast of characters,
and some Amish life insights added to an interesting listen via hoopla download. ~*~  Two more dramatisations of
Agatha's investigators - one Poirot
using the children's rhyme -
This Little Pig went to market etc.
And the 3rd Miss Marple, revealing her skills of observance and deduction applied in the investigation.  An early days introduction to Marple's talents and personality.  Re-reading.

~*~

This audio brought me to my 100th of the year to date.

~

Definitely an audio listen challenging the listener to reconsider accepting status quo life

in favour of a life of adventure.  To recognize one's talents and abilities to Be You.  

Then to pursue making best decisions in actively using those gifts to Do Good.  Very life-giving.

Debut book by priest, entrepreneur, founder of Land of a Thousand Hills Coffee,

Jonathan David Golden.
Glad I chose to listen.

~

Now Reading?

In a brief pause while I wind up a 6 week class I've been instructing and prepare for an interview regarding a grant application. I may update current reading once I pick another book to read or listen.
~

Remains unfinished until there's more reading time. ~ TBR? In my book bag waiting for time ...
