Dear Reader,
Experts say it's only a myth, but my parents lived by the 5-second rule when I was growing up, and apparently book club reader Sue M.'s parents did, too--and she's still alive to tell the tale.
"Suzanne, love your column and your (Skunk Bean) recipe is the best. One of my mom's friends used to make them, but browned up hamburger and added that to the beans so it was a meal. I made them myself that way when my kids were young. They ate it, but didn't love it. But I still do! Funny story...
The neighbor was carrying a dish of beans and hamburger over to our house one Sunday afternoon for a cookout, and dropped the beans on the driveway...where she and my mom proceeded to scoop them back into the dish, and we ate them up! I'm going to buy the ingredients and make them. We always called it the Fisherman's Special, not sure why. Anyway just love this column."
Who knows what you'll find in the next used book you read. Book club reader Barbara N., writes...
"Suzanne, just read your column about things left in books. Each year our local library, Bernards Twp. Library has a display of items found in books in the past year. Money, pictures, postcards, birthday cards, tickets to the theater. Most interesting. Your book offer sounds like a really interesting read. Thanks for your column and book suggestions."
This is the last day to enter the drawing for a free copy of Forgotten Bookmarks: A Bookseller's Collection of Odd Things Lost Between the Pages, by Michael Popek, click here.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

EVERMORE (Fiction) by Corinne Michaels
I receive emails regularly from readers who love the dynamic between my heroines and their friends. I've been blessed to have a tribe of women who inspire these supporting characters, making them a huge part of the subplots. This has led to them demanding stories of their own and Gretchen has been screaming for hers for a long while. I'm so incredibly excited for you to read her story as it's been a long time coming.
