I recommend a great book. It is a funny, quick read but it also touches on family, love and connections - GUNCLE by Steven Rowley

Another series is character Samantha Washington (The Mystery Bookshop Series) - she owns a bookshop near Chicago and solves mysteries with her grandmother (who is a hoot!) and g-ma's 4 close friends. It is by Valerie M. Burns.

Valerie M. Burns has also written a wonderful series (3 books) Steal Away, Motherless Child, and Travellin' Shoes. It is extremely well written, plots well developed, and characters endearing and you feel you want to join the Black American Church! It is much deeper than most cozy mysteries.

Elizabeth, can you clarify: do we turn in our Bingo card when they're completely covered, or when we have bingo?

Great question. If you submit when you have Bingo, you get one entry to the raffle. If you get a coverall, you get two entries. So it's up to you! I'll make sure to mention in Monday's newsletter
