I wish I could join a book club, but as small business owners, we (Carl and I) spend most of our time at work and this last year has been particularly stressful. I so much love to read and since I cannot find anything on the television to suit myself, reading is my preferred method of relaxation in the evening. I'll have to look up a few of these titles.
