02.18.10: Nancy Coggeshall - Gila Country Legend
Start: 7:00 pm

If there was ever a 'ring-tailed roarer' of the backwoods of New Mexico, he was Quentin Hulse, who lived and worked most of his life in the Gila River country of southwestern New Mexico - but his reputation spread far and wide.  Hulse led a lion hunt, witnessed a point-blank shooting, and appeared on a tourist postcard and souvenir license plate in the 1950s.  With compassion, Nancy Coggeshall tells the compelling biography of a rural western rancher constantly adjusting to the inroads of modernity in his traditional way of life.  She brings this unique westerner, and New Mexican to life.

I Don't Care About Your Band (Paperback)

By Julie Klausner
$15.00

Klausner takes an all too hysterical topic - dating - and relives her bouts into desiring men while twisting her extreme sense of humor around each tale and gives us all something to laugh about out loud. Making valid points of sense regarding each type of person she attempts to make love her, the author illuminates us readers with the emotional experience she undergoes. Unable to give up on the dating scene, Klausner allows us to see her progress while giving all dateables in her world a shot. And there are a lot of them. By finishing this book, she is on the edge of 30, and she delivers her revelation on the literal eve of the new year. Looking back, she laughs at herself, and relieved to be beyond the tumultuous twenties in dateworld, she looks to the newness and "maturity" of her thirties. Rollicking and completely adorable in an adult woman's way, I Don't Care About Your Rock Band will have you laughing a lot.
