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'm in love with anything Lucy Worsley writes. Her books are accessible, well researched and read like novels. Really, she's that good. On to "Cavelier"....can't wait!

Angels at the Gate
by
T.K. Thorne

T.K. Thorne's ability to transport the reader to another time and place is amazing. The bible story of Lot's nameless wife starts out with a desert trading caravan where Adira, disguised as a boy for safety, travels with her father. The appearance of a couple of mysterious strangers begins an incredible journey ending at, of course, Sodom, but not the way you've learned in Sunday school. The smells of the desert, it's creatures and inhabitants; the cooking fires, rugs, the grit of windswept sand everywhere- Thorne's expert imagery combine to add another dimension to this story. Loved every bit of it. Anxious to get a copy of Thorne's first book about another woman of the bible, Noah's Wife- I'm sorry I've left reading it this long! #Readukkah

Mapmakers Daughter

Laurel Corona's The Mapmaker's Daughter tells the story of a young girl during the time of the Inquisition in Spain and Portugal. I hadn't had much opportunity to read about this period of history and found the subject fascinating. Corona's characters bring the era and their choices to life. I highly recommend it for fans of historical fiction!

Tao of Martha My Year of LIVING Or Why Im Never Getting All That Glitter Off of the Dog

Jen Lancaster is the funny friend we all want to hang out with- she's hilarious! Loved reading about her quest to find " The Tao of Martha". We have all been there, "meatball stained sweatshirt", crazy pet antics and a need to simplify and beautify. Highly recommended.
