~ 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

Wrapping up my Spring ReadaThon reading  for Michelle's annual Seasonal event April 20-26.15. ~ ~ Thanks for hosting the FuN , Michelle! Here's my reading record for the week -

 *

 I am an obvious fan of mysteries,not stopping at the required 'one', I kept
my focus for the entire week.  Enjoyed the six books + one audiobook which is always a nice option when the eyes tire!
In total I've travelled 1700 pages into various countries and eras from medieval and Regency times to the present and areas of America, England, Germany, and Wales during the week!
Is it any wonder I love to read?

I'm already anticipating Michelle's  High Summer ReadaThon July 20-26.15!
Be sure to join us in the sunshine with your summer reads.
