Winner of the Week One Drawing of the Maitland Adult Summer Reading Program


The winner of the free class at the Maitland Museum of Art is…
Karen, who recommends Road Dogs by Elmore Leonard – “A gripping story of friendship/loyalty among an unsavory cast of characters.”

And the runners-up are….

The Wise Heart: A Guide by Jack Kornfield recommended by Cathy –“ This book is a great introduction to Buddhism and its teachings for Westerners.”

Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki recommended by Samin– “This book is very insightful and provided a foundation for financial management.”

Dark Places by Gillian Flynn recommended Brenda – “This is not a happy novel: in fact you’ll find it gritty and haunting and one that will make you thankful for the kind of life you have had up to this point. It is so compelling that you’ll find yourself rooting for the fictional Libby Day, hoping with all of your might that this author plans to reveal everything by the end of the book. Ms. Flynn does not disappoint in this carefully-crafted story! I’m heading back to the library today to check out her first book, Sharp Objects.”

Quick Silver by Neal Stephenson recommended by Mike

The Gate House by Nelson DeMille recommended by Patricia – “Excellent”

Unending Blues: Poems by Charles Simic, recommended by Jean – “Keen observer, clear language, but meaning sometimes elusive.”

A Darker Place by Jack Higgins, recommended by Bonnie – “Good adventure story and historical influences are correct.”

Roanoke by Margaret Lawrence, panned by Robert – “Turned out to be a soap opera”
