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 have four siblings and my husband has three. You will see some of your own family is some of these characters. It's a comical but slightly sad reminder that you should live for today and stop pining for some "better" day in the future. I really enjoyed the book.

I purchased this calendar last year and am back to buy it again. It has all the Portland area events on it and boxes that are big enough so I can write in all our family appointments and events. Nice local photos too.

This is an amazing story of self preservation; of the individual, family and sibling relationships. It is a great story to remind us of the poverty that exists in our own country. It is definately a moving story.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by

, January 09, 2012
This was a moving story. I appreciated all the advances that came from her situation, though there are many ethical questions about how this occurred. It was a great look at the issues raised by advancing science and medicine. It demonstrated how those who do not have an educated advocate coulde be taken advantage of by researches and scams. It certianly makes you think!! Great book.
