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...

Wildwood: The Wildwood Chronicles, Book I
by
Colin Meloy

, January 01, 2012
I first heard about Wildwood after being commissioned to paint some props for a promotional video following the book's UK release. If I were to describe Wildwood in one word, it would be rich. Meloy's writing is rich and melodic, with details that bring the characters and story to life. The pace of the story is about right--I never found it to lag or be overly wordy, describing something to death. I also appreciated the references to real places and bridges woven into the story. (Every time we go to St. Johns, we cross the Ghost Bridge from the side of the Industrial Waste.) I didn't want to put the book down once I'd started it! I would definitely recommend Wildwood to others, young and old alike.

Hunger Games 01
by
Suzanne Collins

, September 02, 2011
I started reading this book, not knowing what to expect, but having heard many enthusiastic recommendations. I was not disappointed! The Hunger Games has a definite George Orwell dystopian feel to it, which makes it all the more interesting of a read, as I enjoyed 1984. The ending is a little bit predictable, but the way in which the story unfolds to get to that point made me not want to put the book down anyways.
