George Gently
"We first met Martin Shaw's solemn Inspector Gently in a one-off episode last year, when he arrived in Northumberland after the murder of his wife, tracking down the gang boss who killed her. His familiar Judge John Deed voice replaced by the soft rumble of an approaching goods train, Shaw decided that Northumberland might offer a more peaceful life. ... With a quiet, determined manner, he ploughed a furrow through a case full of false names, false leads, false starts, framings and lies; helped (and occasionally hindered) by his long-limbed young sergeant, John Bacchus - a lad with flashes of brilliance in between long stretches of cheerful incompetence.." guardian.co.uk


Mad men. The complete first season
"Mad Men is a joy to watch - the clothes, the clocks, the furniture, it's like a mid-century night's dream. But this is no mere period piece. It's a smart, complex drama that attempts to get through the facades that have always hidden the truth." USA Today


The Amazing Mrs Pritchard
"Written and created by Sally Wainwright after her disillusionment over the last British elections, “Mrs. Pritchard” evokes a 1970s pop feminism that doesn’t come around much anymore — a Helen Reddy-“9 to 5”-“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a-bicycle” kind of feminism that feels as distant and goofy to us now as the “Mad Men” era of sexism it fought to depose." New York Times


The Lost Room
"A very complex metaphysical mystery, the enjoyment of which comes, in no small part, from the surprises that spill out as it slowly unfurls." New York Daily News

Merry Christmas


The staff at Belmont Library wish everyone
a happy and safe Christmas
and a prosperous and exciting New Year.

We look forward to seeing you next time at the Library.

Most Popular Titles



TOP Music CDs new to Lake Macquarie Library this month

Battle studies -- John Mayer POPULAR
"There's no doubting the man's chops. Battle Studies is a real study in craftsmanship and understated guitar ninja-dom, and musos will thrill to Mayer's deconstruction of Robert Johnson's "Crossroads." But the solemnity is suffocating." rollingstone.com


Bible belt -- Diane Birch POPULAR
"Bible Belt percolates an earthy warmth with songs trimmed in the familiar tones of old Wurlitzers, buttery New Orleans bass lines, twangy guitars, and a soulfully inviting voice that pulls from Laura Nyro’s penchant for putting a womanly groove into a melancholy tune." itunes.com


Full circle -- Creed POPULAR
"Creed's first album since 2001 ... Despite half a decade apart, Creed still has that deep understanding of each other’s ability to be able to explore their full range of old." angryape.com



Planet country -- Lee Kernaghan COUNTRY
""People like us" is a dedication to nurses and truckies, title track "Planet Country" is a call to arms for country people everywhere. Overall another excellent album firmly cementing the King back in his throne!" abc.net.au


Soulbook -- Rod Stewart POPULAR
"On his sixth straight album of cover versions, Stewart finally reaches the era and style that defines his musical identity. His affection for the material is obvious, although over-familiarity with these Sixties and Seventies soul classics suggests upmarket karaoke." telegraph.co.uk



The circle -- Bon Jovi POPULAR
"Bon Jovi fans who have not been put off by recent output will find plenty to love here. The band long ago developed into a slick, stadium-filling act, and although this album marks a slight return to their more traditional rock roots , not much has changed." bbc.co.uk



The fall -- Norah Jones JAZZ
"Thanks to the involvement of folks like Ryan Adams (who cowrote one song) and Kings of Leon producer Jacquire King, The Fall has been billed as Norah Jones' rock album. In fact, it's something even more surprising: a hot-blooded soul record from the queen of the even keel." spin.com
