THIS MONTH'S FEATURE: THE LONG HAUL OF JUSTICE by Kaitlin Curtice
- - - - - - - - - -
THIS MONTH's GOOD READ(S): I’ve included the link to this month's best reads on amazon.com, because it’s easy to find the books; but if possible, see about buying your books from a local bookseller… they may be a little more expensive, but you’ll be benefiting the local community…
THIS MONTH'S ENTERTAINMENT: Have you seen Green Book or Bohemian Rhapsody yet? Hoping you get a chance to catch some of the new films out and spend quality time together with family and friends!
