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...

Conscious Cuisine Harmony Of Flavors For
by
Cary Neff

, August 29, 2009
This is the cookbook for food lovers who are health and taste concious. Every recipe used quality ingredients while providing the cook with nutritional information essential for those who are concerned about nutritional values. I am a weight watchers follower and found this book just right for creating recipes with my eating concerns in mind. I especially like the recipe for low fat muffins. YUM!

The Last Queen
by
C. W. Gortner

, July 24, 2009
I had never heard of Juana, Queen of Castile, until I read this book. Even though I have read many books about royalty of this period. Gortner presents a very sympathetic view of this sad life. His descriptions of the dress, locations and mores brings these elements to life. A very good read for europhiles as well as those who seek a better understanding of the plight of women throughout history.

Blood Of Flowers
by

, May 09, 2009
The author tells a wonderfully colorful tale of a young woman's search for independence in a world of male dominence. The production of oriental carpets was one of child labor and abuses. I will look at those amazing works of art with a different eye.

Pope Joan

Yet another story of how women throughout history have not only survived but excelled against all odds. I want to believe that Pope Joan did exist and gave other women strength to reach their dreams as well. A great book.

This book is for the football fan, italiaphile and food lover. Being two of the three I tolerated the football talk. It is a quick read, good for a plane ride.

I thought I knew a lot about the slave trade until I read Philippa Gregory's book. She provides the reader with an insight into the day to day misery of this historic shame. A must read for everyone!

The Favored Child
by
Philippa Gregory

, February 25, 2009
The second book of the Wideacre trilogy. The Favored Child will draw you in with more clandestine love between brother and sister. The love-hate relationship continues the family saga with little left to the imagination. Another great read by Philippa Gregory. Start with Wideacre for a true sense of the tale.

What an adventure! History comes alive with this tale of an Egytian slave who reaches a place in society that allows him to be a part of the inner circle. Makes you yearn for a visit to the pyramids.

philippa gregory performs her magic once more. This book will draw you into a world where women "know their place". Then comes Beatrice Lacey, a woman with a mind of her own. First book of a trilogy, this will leave you wanting more.
