(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...

Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me and You

, October 16, 2018
Lin-Manuel’s “g’morning and g’night” tweets have been enchanted and encouraging many Twitter users for years, but this collection of highlights with Jonny Suns creative artwork gives the reader a new opportunity to truly appreciate what the messages are: personal encouragement. This book is a wonderful treasure trove for when you’re having a bad day, need some encouragement, or just want to read something that’s sure to make you smile. A wonderful way to start the day, end the day, or even just to make it through the day, this book is sure to delight any and all who read it!

Station Eleven
by
Emily St. John Mandel
Abi Edwards
, July 27, 2017
This book was recommended to me by my Sophomore English teacher. Usually, I would never read anything post-apocalyptic or distopian, and science fiction books essentially repulsed me. Recently that view has changed, and that's why I recommend this book to others. Station Eleven is a novel that speaks to our world, reflecting back a universe full of cruelty, and devastatingly devoid of art. This book illustrates the importance of art in a broken world. Art should never be considered less than utterly important. Art breathes life into a dead world, into broken people, and most importantly is the glimmer of light we see at the end of a dark time. This book reminds us of that, it reminds us to never stop fighting for beauty, and for art. Art may seem frivolous to some, but it is sometimes the only thing keeping a fragile world afloat

This is a beautiful moving book describing what it's like to feel lonely, and the joys that come with experiencing life, and all the the world has to offer. This book is bound to leave any reader feeling far more stable and waware of the beauties and the tragedies that come with simply being human, and living on this earth.
