Today's the day! Another boost in making #timetoread
and making some of those long awaited stories finally read !
I chose to participate in LibraryThing's global version including a worldwide
reading timeframe. My reading began at 5 pm on Friday and will continue throughout Saturday.
First book on my weekend reading?
LONDON DAWN, authored by Canadian, Murray Pura.
Concluding the trilogy of The Danforths of Lancashire, this book dealt with the Danforths'
various involvements in the resulting WWII to which book 2 had alluded.
No disappointments here. Pura's historical research, characters and depictions are
engaging. Having finished it early this a.m., I remain emotionally invested.
Highly recommended.

Continuing my reading today , I anticipate another novel or
if my eyes tire, turning on an audio book...
I'll be sure to let you know!

Book 2 ?

Vanessa Greene's 1st in her teacup series - THE VINTAGE TEACUP CLUB
