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...

This is definitely a different perspective on Clytemnestra's story, but was still a great read.

The Death of Vivek Oji

This is a heart-rending book about being LGBTQ in a country that still considers homosexuality completely taboo, and a punishable offense. I hurt for the protagonist of this novel, but it was so well written, and SO important, it was absolutely worth the read.

The Witches Are Coming
by
Lindy West
KnittingKnerd
, October 04, 2019
What can I say about Lindy West and her writing that hasn’t already been said? She’s fierce, eloquent, blunt, a rabid feminest, an ally and an advocate, body-positive and passionate. She’s a force to be reckoned with. I’m obviously a fan, and I suspect that if you consider yourself to be any or all of the above, then you will be too. Lindy’s talent for laying bare and clarifying complex topics makes her one of the preeminent feminist writers of our time. The Witches are Coming speaks to topics and issues like the “Me Too” movement, Fat Shaming, raising a blended family and 21st century feminism among others, as only Lindy can - insightfully, thoughtfully and fearlessly. If you need a shot in the arm to get you informed and fully outraged about the way our country treats POC, women, LGBTQIA folx, the poor, and other disenfranchised humans, then reading The Witches are Coming will prepare and inspire you to raise your voice. I was provided with an electronic copy of #TheWitchesAreComing by #NetGalley in return for my honest review.
