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...

Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice On Love & Life from Dear Sugar
by
Cheryl Strayed
Lynn Cox
, January 01, 2013
Cheryl Strayed has a way with prose. Much more than an advice column, this collection is more like lovely, tender essays. Reading this book made me want to be gentler with people, to be tender and caring about our shared human condition.

Ahabs Wife or the Star Gazer
by
Sena Jeter Naslund
Lynn Cox
, January 02, 2010
Ahab's Wife is one of those rare books that makes one regret having finished reading it. It's not that the ending disappoints -- not at all! It's that the sheer pleasure of reading such a well-written, engrossing saga has ended. I wanted the book to go on and on. A masterpiece.

Pigs In Heaven
by
Barbara Kingsolver
Lynn Cox
, November 30, 2006
What a great read! This is one of Kingsolver's earlier works, but it still has the complex characters and culture clashes for which she's well known. This one's not quite as "heavy" as The Poisonwood Bible, but it's equally as satisfying and enlightening. Pigs in Heaven made me wonder about some of my own deeply imbedded cultural imperatives.
