Good afternoon, ladies,
The votes are in and our next book will be Glory Be by Danielle Arceneaux It’s a hot and sticky Sunday in Lafayette, Louisiana, and Glory has settled into her usual after-church routine, meeting gamblers at the local coffee shop, where she works as a small-time bookie. Sitting at her corner table, Glory hears that her best friend—a nun beloved by the community—has been found dead in her apartment. When police declare the mysterious death a suicide, Glory is convinced that there must be more to the story and, with her reluctant daughter, with troubles of her own, in tow, launches a shadow investigation in a town of oil tycoons, church gossips, and a rumored voodoo priestess. As a Black woman of a certain age who grew up in a segregated Louisiana, Glory is used to being minimized and overlooked. But she’s determined to make her presence known as the case leads her deep into a web of intrigue she never realized Lafayette could harbor.
Given that our scheduled book club meetings for November and December will occur very close to the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, this book club will take a two-month hiatus so everyone can focus on travel and family during that time. Therefore, our next book club is scheduled for Sunday, January 26, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. (I will send out the Zoom link the morning of the event).
Here is a link to a PDF of the book if you need it:

Lastly, the majority of the group voted for an in-person vision board party so be on the lookout for that announcement.
Happy Holidays and Happy Reading!
