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...

When the Emperor Was Divine
by
Otsuka, Julie

, December 28, 2009
This short, spare novel about a Japanese-American family being sent to an internment camp during World War II packs a huge emotional punch. It makes you realize how horribly unfair the internment of Japanese citizens was and how it disrupted and affected their lives long after the war.

Mr Monk In Trouble
by
Lee Goldberg
Olive
, December 28, 2009
The Monk mystery books by Lee Goldberg are wonderful. The way Mr. Goldberg writes, you can just hear all of the characters talk as if you're watching an episode, which is especially great now that the show is unfortunately over. This Monk book is my favorite yet, set in the old "Gold Country" of California, past and current time.

Kind Diet
by
Alicia Silverstone
Olive
, October 17, 2009
This is a great guide for eliminating animal products in your diet at your own pace. Ms. Silverstone does a great job at explaining the many health and environmental benefits of a meatless diet, and her obvious passion and dedication make this book a real winner. Not to mention the many delicious recipes, including desserts. It's great for those starting out, as well as long-term vegetarians and vegans. I've been a vegetarian for 20 years, and it's helping me finally make the transition to vegan.
