Just got home from the first meeting of the library's new Mysteries At Six book club. We had a local author (Terri Reid) come, and the book was the first in her Mary O'Reilly series, Loose Ends. We had a ball, but ended up doing more ghost story telling than actual book discussion. We had a BIG crowd for our library, especially considering it was the first meeting, and my boss said she didn't feel like she'd done enough promotion. So I'd say my baby (having a mystery book club in addition to the non-fiction/more literary book club that already existed was my idea) did very well. Next month is Alan Bradley's The Sweetness At the Bottom of the Pie.
