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...

I felt as if I'd been hit by a truck after reading this book -- it hurt so badly to be inside Howard's mind and truly feel his daily frustrations from being mute. This is the gift of writer Dave King: taking away the reader's own words and leaving the reader utterly speechless and in awe of his great talent. Please write more!

Blankets
by
Thompson, Craig

, November 25, 2006
Blankets is by far the best graphic novel I've ever read! It is so deeply personal and moving -- you feel so much empathy for the protagonist, Craig. Reading the book will make you grab for a warm, fleecy blanket to protect you not only from the Wisconsin winter that is depicted so perfectly on the page, but also to block the icy chill that Craig's classmates and Bible Camp campers constantly inflict upon him. I read the book because of hearing about recent challenges to the book in local communities and I was curious. Now I will fully recommend it to readers who want a thoughtful and heart-wrenching story of a boy becoming a man in a tough world.

The Librarian's Career Guidebook

The only thing I don't like about this book is the price -- most librarians can't afford a $45 book, especially a book about getting a good job! However, if you can swing it, it's well worth it. And if you can buy it, buy it from Powell's! The essays are short, but full of information, and the contributors are well-known in library land. Highly recommended for those new to the field (like me) or those looking to join. It's not one of those career books that disappoints -- it's thoughtful and gives the reader many new, creative ideas.
