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...

Complete Guide to Making Your Own Wine at Home Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply

I have always wanted to learn to make my own wine. So I had high expectations when reading this book. It did not disappoint. I found the section on the history of wine very interesting, I always like to know the history of new things that I learn and it was nice to learn something new. In this book they also to a great job of describing the ingredients that are needed and the different types of those ingredients. I found this section very helpful. I knew you had to use yeast, but didn’t know that there are different types for making bread and making wine. The other thing I found really helpful was their explanation of all the different types of sugars. The sections in the book that teach the art of making wine are very explanatory and make it easy to understand. They lay it all out for you so that there should be no surprises when you actually start making wine. The book spends a good amount of time discussing what supplies are absolutely necessary, and some that are nice to have but not essential.

The Complete Guide to Planning Your Estate in California: A Step-By-Step Plan to Protect Your Assets, Limit Your Taxes, and Ensure Your Wishes Are Ful

This book does a good job of explaining types of wills. The information presented is very straight forward and easy for anyone to understand. The most helpful information I found was that it clearly explained how to value your property and money. They do a great job of explaining the different types of people that can help you plan your estate and what role each one plays. I found this very helpful to help me understand who can help me with my estate. The only issue that I had with this book was that they focus solely on California laws. While a lot of the information in the book can be used by people from other states. The legal part is only applicable to Californians. So even though I got a lot of good information from this book I will still have to do research for my state.
