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...

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice On Love & Life from Dear Sugar
by
Cheryl Strayed
a_book_a_day_keeps_the_doctor_away
, August 16, 2012
I love Cheryl Strayed's writing style, and most of her advice is good. However, I was extremely put off by the fact that, while she left her first husband for no reason, she stays with her second even after he cheated on her. Her personal choices are not ones I want to emulate, and therefore it's hard to take her seriously as an advice columnist.

How to Be a Woman
by
Moran, Caitlin
a_book_a_day_keeps_the_doctor_away
, August 07, 2012
Moran's essays about feminism, motherhood, abortion, and eating disorders are so incredibly on-target that they are definitely worth the price of the book. However, Moran's writing is much weaker when she is discussing her childhood self. Overall, a good read.

When Women Were Birds Fifty four Variations on Voice
by
Terry Tempest Williams

, August 04, 2012
Terry Tempest Williams has written a highly personal, poetic account of her late mother's "journals." She also ruminates on what it means to be a woman, and a human being. I also enjoyed her description of when she met her husband.

What an amazing book--it makes the reader think about the "magic" that might be in all of us.
