(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...

Given Day
by
Dennis Lehane

, February 09, 2009
The Given Day is Lehane's best book to date and I had a hard time putting it down. He provides a lot of history with this work of fiction and it's an excellent read for anyone who's interested in reading about America in the early Twentieth Century.

This is the final book in a series of the history of 20th century Ireland, but it's excellent as a stand-alone read if you're interested in what's happening there today and why and how it's come about. An excellent book to finish out an excellent series.

Playing For Pizza
by
John Grisham
Gaye
, April 06, 2008
This is an excellent book for anyone who enjoys food, travel, football, challenges, and/or a really good story. It made me want to pack my bags and head off to Italy (for the food, not the football).

Girls Who Went Away The Hidden History of Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption in the Decades Before Roe V Wade
by
Ann Fessler
Gaye
, February 17, 2008
Many of us who are concerned about current efforts to overturn Roe v Wade talk about the bad old days of back alley abortionists and coathangers. The Girls Who Went Away are frequently forgotten. This sound like an excellent book on a subject that needs to be discussed. I knew girls who "went away" and suffered throughout their lives over the child they gave up. I believe these stories are going to remind us all of someone we knew.

Adventurous Women Eight True Stories about Women Who Made a Difference
by
Penny Colman
Gaye
, March 12, 2007
This is an excellent book for girls (and women too, for that matter). We don't learn much about heroic women in school and this book provides interesting and detailed information about eight of them.

by

10 Minute Solutions Yoga is an excellent choice for an early gift at this time of year when so many of us are looking for a quick energy boost and/or a few moments of relaxation. The exercises are quick, easy and effective.

This book tells the story of a young girl's life in Afganistan. It is an excellent choice for young girls who are interested in learning about a lifestyle totally alien to them.
