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...

Tattoos on the Heart The Power of Boundless Compassion
by
Gregory Boyle

, October 21, 2014
Tattoos on the Heart was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful to her for telling me about this wonderful book. Father Gregory Boyle shares a few of the stories of the gang members whose lives he has changed through Homeboy Industries. Some of the stories are sad while others are funny, but all are moving. Father Boyle shares these tales with respect, compassion, and love for each individual; while never condoning their bad behavior he encourages them to leave behind their gangs and step into the future. After reading this book I began to think about what I could do to make a difference... it is really that inspiring.

Old Fashioned Cookbook
by
Jan Mcbride Carlton
kamarotico
, November 17, 2012
I LOVE this cookbook. I have had it for years! The author, Jan McBride Carlton, writes easy to understand recipes that you are very likely to make. This cookbook has recipes from all over the Unite States - from southern fried chicken, to Hood River Oregon Apple Bread - and one of my favorite things about the book is that Ms. Carlton often introduces a recipe with a little bit of a back story. For example, for the Cranberry Nut Bread, she wrote: "Craneberries" were one of the first native American fruits shipped to the Old World. Wild cranberries were cooked with honey or maple sugar by the Indians, and sailors ate them at sea to prevent scurvy. It's a great resource with lots of "old-fashioned" American recipes that really work.
