Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand
by

The best fiction creates a world and invites us into it. This book takes us into an English village - not a BBC stereotype, but an actual place. In the beginning of the novel, Major Pettigrew is a lonely and miserable widower. His growth is sporadic and believable - and worth a great big hip-hip-hooray. Give this gentle, intelligent romance a try.

Princess Academy 01

This Newberry Honor winner is perfect for girls who like a plucky, resourceful and thoughtful heroine at the center of their books. It is similar in romantic lushness and suspense to Robin McKinley's books Spindles End & Beauty, but the action moves more quickly and the reading level is easier.

Inkheart (Inkheart #1)

I started reading this to my 9 year old daughter at night, but had to stop. (I donated it to the library.) The villian in this book is a pyschopath who abducts and threatens the young heroine, her father and her friends. There is just too much violence for me to recommend this book. (And we actually enjoyed the wizzard series!)

The City of Ember (City of Ember #1)

I just finished reading one chapter a night of this book to my 9 year old daughter. I can't say who has been enjoying it more -- I was tempted to read ahead while she was at school! The tale centers on two young adults who realize that their town in doomed. They stumble on a puzzle that might lead to the salvation of the town, but only if they solve the puzzle in time. (Parents - this book would get a PG-13 rating. One of the adult authority figures is vaguely threatening and there is some physical danger. If your kids are bored by easy-readers and too young for Harry Potter, this book would be perfect.)
