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...

Witch of Portobello
by
Paulo Coelho
Chloe
, December 15, 2009
I admit I didn't like the Alchemist. Maybe it was the place I was in my life or just the writing style, but I couldn't connect to it. Reading the Witch of Portobello has been life changing. This book awakens ones latent spirituality and desire for harmony with oneself, society, and the goddess. Told through a series of interviews the story chronicles Athena's journey to live authentically.

The Essential Agrarian Reader: The Future of Culture, Community, and the Land
by
Norman Wirzba
Chloe
, July 01, 2009
A remarkable collection of essays speaking about the many virtues of returning to agrarian ethics. Explains agrarianism from a variety of liberal arts, and then shows the ways agrarian values can help environmental and social justice causes. This was such an inspiring book for why farms still matter; for why the preservation rural land is as important as the revitalization of urban and suburban town; why agrarianism cannot either be overly idealized or become marginalized as a "lesser" way of life.

She lives in SE Portland, how great is that? An informative book on everything from baby chicks, and where to get them, to building a coop and getting eggs from brooding hens. And there are pictures of chickens. A wonderful guide to start an urban flock with.
