Serle, Rebecca – In Five Years, A Novel – Ms Serle, author of The Dinner List and One Italian Summer has written an unforgettable love story, but it’s not the one you are expecting!

Non-Fiction

Borowitz, Andy – Profiles in Ignorance – Mr. Borowitz, “one of the funniest people in America” (CBS Sunday Morning), brilliantly examines the intellectual deterioration of American politics, from Ronald Reagan to Dan Quayle, from George W. Bush to Sarah Palin, to its apotheosis in Donald J. Trump. (Topics – Social Issues)

Bowman, Katy – Dynamic Aging, Simple Exercises for Whole-Body Mobility – It’s never too late to start moving better. This book, geared to the 50+ audience includes exercises and postural adjustments that require no special equipment that will help you move and feel better. (Body and Soul – Health and Fitness)

Isaacson, Walter – Leonardo da Vinci – Drawing on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. 

Letts, Elizabeth… The Ride of Her Life – When it comes to the salt-of-the-earth, they don’t get much saltier than Maine Farmer Annie Wilkins. Wilkins was told, at the age of sixty-three in 1954, that she likely had only two years to live. Ever the optimist, Wilkins took this information in stride. She sold everything she owned (except her dog), put on several layers of warm clothing, bought a horse, and rode west to fulfill a lifelong dream to see the Pacific Ocean. This true story is a nostalgic trot through a changing American landscape that’s sure to bolster your faith in humanity. (Places-USA)
