Bestsellers
at the Library

Linda Winzar makes some suggestions to help
us through the non-ratings period TV withdrawals

They're large and usually have the author's name embossed in gold letters on the cover and it doesn't take long for the pages to become well thumbed - they're bestsellers. You can find many recently released bestsellers at the Tennant Creek Public Library.
As the temperature rises in the Barkly, a lot of people look for something uplifting and lively to read and bypass the Booker prize winner during the time that attention spans are shortened by the rise in temperature.
Recent bestseller arrivals include When the Wind Blows by James Patterson. Patterson is a more recent addition to Bestseller lists. He is best known for his thrillers such as Kiss the Girls, Cat and Mouse, Jack and Jill, and Hide and Seek. Patterson has now moved away from pure suspense fiction with his latest release. When the Wind Blows is a book designed to let your imagination soar.
Maeve Binchy's Tara Road has also hit the shelves at the Library. This is a story of two women who swap houses over the summer. One of the homes is in America and the other is on Ireland's Tara Road. The two women discover that they have not only swapped houses for the summer but also friends and family and each discovers the others secrets.
Barbara Taylor Bradford, a recognised bestseller author who has sold over 58 million copies world wide, has just published A Sudden Change of Heart. In this book the leading character Laura finds that her husband has a secret life and she loses trust in him. Later she reunites with a childhood friend and discovers how their family histories intersect. This most recent novel is told again with the emotion and feeling that readers have come to expect from Barbara Taylor Bradford.
Other latest release bestsellers on the Town Library shelves include: Raymond Feist's Krondor the Betrayal (based on the game Betrayal at Krondor), Anne Rice's The Vampire Armand (the character Armand appeared in Interview with the Vampire), Ruth Rendall's A Sight for Soar Eyes, and Danielle Steel's Mirror Image.
However if your airconditioning is working well, or if you wish to retreat with a good book at the Library, then for those who are interested, this year's Booker prize winner was Ian McEwan's Amsterdam described as a darkly funny tale of love, death, scandal and euthanasia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Trainee of the month

Ross Williams from Julalikari Council
awards it to Bindi Martin

With an attendance record that leads the way, a reliability and punctuality record that is first class, and a work ethic where he does not shy away from any task allocated to him, recognition of Bindi as 'Trainee of the month' rests easily with this exceptional man.
Bindi is one of the original H.I.P.P. trainees, having now been on the program since its inception in August 1996.
His wonderful input is exemplary, and he is a standard bearer, in many ways, for Aboriginal people.
Congratulations Bindi on your award and your achievements, and Julalikari wishes you all the very best for the future. We are very proud of you.
