4 PEOPLE SAY THAT::
I can't believe you guys plan that far in advance! Do you think that helps with your membership?
Right now one of my mystery groups plans 3-4 books at a time and the other one only one book in advance. Don't like the one book in advance thing very much.
I originally thought that there were fewer selections than actually submitted. I later found out that I had deleted an email with more nominations. So, I just decided to place all the nominations in without a vote.
The selections are varied!
Would you believe my son is in New Orleans right now! Only for three nights, but he's having a ball.
It just clicked - I'm slow that way! Your group sounds good - seems to do a similar range of books to my group.
WG - I hope that he enjoys himself. The winter is mild right now.
No snow!
It's just very humid.
If you ever come on this side of the world, please join for a meeting, even if you hadn't read the book.
