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...

Catching Fire: Hunger Games #2

I mean, I'm totally with everyone else--I so rarely get hoodwinked into starting a series before all the books are published, and this is a perfect example of why I feel that way: Some sequels just get better. And you don't want to wait for them. Catching Fire is the perfect mid-series book--the characters get more interesting, the stakes shift in surprising and inevitable ways. Katniss has to deal with not only her actions but the implications of her power. And Collins makes the 'who should she end up with' question with some real emotional authenticity (I'm not saying I don't think it's a done deal, but I am glad that all of these characters are treated with some real integrity.) And it's such a relief to read books about violence that treat their carnage respectfully. I can't wait for MOCKINGJAY.

The Hunger Games: Hunger Games 1

So much plot, so swiftly moving--it's a fantastic read, and the third of the series is coming out at the end of August. I think it's time for you to read it. The book is just provocative enough on the subject of information control and entertainment AS information control to make it an interesting one to talk about, and enough plot and character switchbacks to keep you turning the pages. Just finished the sequel, and I'm looking forward to reading back to Suzanne Collins's previous work as well. Start it. Unless it's really not for you (you'll figure it out in the first 15 pages), you won't regret it a bit.

I work at a regional theater in the US. And it's just as delightful and painful and gratifying as you see here. It's the real deal, and speaks to the non-theater-inclined as well. Like a Canadian OFFICE. With more ghosts and costumes.
