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...

The Prince of Venice Beach
by

It's been almost five decades since I grabbed a new book, found a comfortable place to sit outside and read an entire book at one sitting. This was the perfect summer read to take you back to an age of innocence where the beach was the place to be and you were young and still desperately trying to find a place for yourself and your dreams.

One Came Home
by

A BOOKPAGE review compared this book to TRUE GRIT and that is the very phrase that came to my mind as I devoured this book. A sky-blackening flight of passenger pigeons and a sister-seeking journey of a young female sharpshooter star in this story set in 1871 Wisconsin. This tale is a must for historical fiction lovers of any age and a perfect introduction of that genre to developing readers.

Beautiful Ruins

Richard Burton, the coast of Italy, and the Pacific Northwest in one book? Interconnected stories and locations, real and imaginary people, woven together in a manner which tantalizes the senses. Yes, it works.

Precious Bones

Think "The Help" meets the youthful, questioning, and loyal spirit of Scout in "To Kill a Mockingbird". The author's stated goal was, "to pay tribute to a way of life that has all but disappeared" on the East Coast of Florida, she has succeeded in every way possible. Perfect for junior readers to adults.

Pacific Heights
by

When I first got this book I was actively reading three other books. I decided to read the first chapter of Pacific Heights just to see if I would enjoy it. I didn't pick up the other books until I finished Harper's book. It's obviously an engaging and suspenseful mystery.

My Name Is Mary Sutter
by
Robin Oliveira
LuKay
, November 28, 2010
A young midwife from Albany, New York, is desperate to become a medical doctor during the years of the Civil War. The War Between the States becomes a time we can see, feel and smell between the covers of this research-based, well-written tale. Sentences like “They were still, like him, only half a moment past innocence” will take your breath away like a minie ball zinging past your miraculously untouched ear. Historical characters, including Abraham Lincoln and Clara Barton, have roles in the book’s believable and carefully crafted action. Each chapter is rich with facts, description and pathos. If you are reader with interests in medical history, woman's history or the Civil War, this is the book for you - and - you will want to share it with your friends.

Closed For The Season
by

, August 05, 2010
This is a great read for a hot summer's day. It's about the development of friendship and trust, and finding adventure in a new place. A mature student who has just finished the fourth grade should love this book, if they have already developed a taste for mysteries. And most adventurous readers fifth grade and above, will pick up this book and not be able to put it down. Who can resist a spooky closed amusement park? I'm glad I read this book outside in the sun!
