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...

Guilty Pleasures Anita Blake 01

Beware. Open this book, and you may very well be hooked for life. Fast moving, hard-bitten, pulse-quickening... it has it all. The whole series is a world that will pull you in. Do you have the nerve?

, August 30, 2007
This is the first book by John Robbins that I've ever read, and he has me hooked. I appreciate his honesty, his research, and his willingness to share his journey. It's a great book, and it is told well.

Raw 50 10 Amazing Breakfasts Lunches Dinners Snacks & Drinks for Your Raw Food Lifestyle
by
Carol Alt

I wonder if the other reviewer is commenting on this book, or a misunderstanding of the raw diet in general? I actually don't know of any raw foodists that aren't also VEGANS... hence, no animal products, no raw meat, oysters, or milk. I suppose it's possible to consider oneself a raw foodist if one uses raw milk, but I personally wouldn't. It would have been nice to know if this book has only vegan recipes, or if it is, indeed, offering up raw animal products.

Mutant Message Down Under
by
Marlo Morgan
Rene Friberg
, August 16, 2007
This is a controversial book. Did she, or didn't she? that's the question. The book itself is an amalgamation of new age, native American, and paganistic ideals, all blended into an obscure, unknown Aboriginal tribe in Australia. Some of the topography and botany is prone to error, but the main message of the book is the same message we've heard from many other voices... What the world needs now is to realize that we are all One. I don't think that the author deliberately tries to be racist in her remarks concerning indigenous cultures, but it can be hard to overlook at times.

Harry Potter 07 & The Deathly Hallows
by
J.K. Rowling
Rene Friberg
, July 23, 2007
This, the final installment in the Harry Potter series, does not disappoint, and is not, in any way, a tacked-on book. This thick, richly detailed, fast-moving story grabs you fast, and pulls you through to the very last page. Yes, I cried. I laughed. There were deaths, and some hit hard. But, there is a golden ray of joy running through this, which glitters and twinkles through the darkest passages. Well worth taking an entire day or weekend, putting on the kettle, and nestling in with.

Why Women Need Chocolate Eat What You Crave to Look Good & Feel Great
by
Debra Waterhouse
Rene Friberg
, June 18, 2007
This book revolutionized my relationship with my body, exercise, and food. Why do we have this idea that we must look so far outside ourselves to find the answer to weight loss, and good health? Learning to trust that our own bodies are actually designed to work correctly, and to listen to them, is an absolute. Every book Ms. Waterhouse has written is good. This one is essential.
