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...

Power Faith & Fantasy America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present
by

Amazingly readable and informative on why we've been there, and why we're still involved and invested so heavily in the Middle East and the entire region. Not to be a spoiler, but it didn't start out as petroleum dependence.

Patterns for Theatrical Costumes Garments Trims & Accessories from Ancient Egypt to 1915

This book is a "must have" for those of us in any type of reenactment group. It is especially good for those who have little to no sewing expertise as it is full of simple, easy to follow diagrams and designs. I myself have been using it to create patterns out of other patterns for years before the current crop of "historical" store bought patterns were available. I've also bought it for many friends over the years as the starter book for their costuming endeavors. Inclusions run the costume gamut from ancient Egypt to the early 1900's as well as how to's from underwear on up to hats. It also makes it easy to scale up from a cheap, one off, theatrical costume to something you can wear for years. I bought 4 when it went out of print and am VERY glad to see it back!

Wee Free Men
by
Terry Pratchett

, September 28, 2006
This book, the first in the series, stands by itself in a world of nonsensical books for youth. Tiffany, despite her definitely non witchlike name, is a no nonsense young lady out to take on the world. Armed with her granny's knowledge, her frypan, her penchant for asking the right questions and with the help and sometimes hindrance, of the Nac MacFeegles Tiffany takes you on a rollicking and sometimes poignant romp through the hills and dells of the famed chalk country.
