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...

Committed A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage
by
Elizabeth Gilbert
BlossomingContradiction
, January 03, 2011
A truly compassionate, honest, witty and informative exploration of our western institution of marriage. Told with a sharp, critical eye toward herself and the dedicated investigative questioning of her journalistic background, Gilbert out does herself here in exploring the question of what makes us choose to be together and how can we remain happy. I laughed regularly, screamed at the historical context of some of the shocking truths of our legal system, and took a deeper look at my own relationship, as well as myself, to see how better to love each other. A thoroughly enjoyable story that invites you to take responsibility for your own values and align your life choices accordingly. LOVED IT.

The Red Tent
by
Anita Diamant
BlossomingContradiction
, January 01, 2010
One of the most diverse, celebratory, empowering portraits of the incredible variety of ways there are to be feminine, to be strong AND loving as a woman, to be independent AND engaged in your community and your partnership. A historically INCLUSIVE view of the patriarchal story that is generally used oppress and stifle young women, woven here in empowering celebration without forgetting the challenges of growing, maturing & choosing one's path that are present in every generation.
