We had such a good relationship with our library system and they always allowed us to use their meeting room AND order the books for us. But now, nope. No help at all. They kick us out every chance they can get and none of our books make it in. My group will not buy a book, ever. Which makes it difficult so the club is over and done with. <br /><br />Some tried to turn it into something else, a movie/book club but it's limping along. Not my style and they excluded some key folks from the original group which I thought was petty.

Short stories are great to have around when you find yourself having to wait somewhere for an hour i.e drs office, car place etc. Great picture of the horses at Ruidoso. We used to go skiing there but have never been there in the summer.

My daughter went to visit her college roommate/best friend in Las Cruces a couple of months ago. I thought of you wen she told me they went to Ruidoso.

I think some of the people in this group are ones that prefer 'literary' book or classics and maybe don't love books in the various genre realms. I did almost get into an argument with the man sitting next to me about whether Agatha Christie 'tricked' the reader or not. We did not agree on the issue.
