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...

Sacred Baby Names
by
Kjirstin Youngberg

, July 03, 2015
What a fun book! Well-researched and whittled down to a very manageable size, this book is the perfect gift for new parents. I've bought several copies and given them as baby shower gifts. They are always the hit of the party, and everyone wanted a copy. I'm still getting calls telling me how much they enjoyed not only the names but the "Guide for New Parents" in the back. You'll enjoy this book for many years, and probably pass it on for generations.

Worlds Strongest Librarian
by

, July 03, 2015
This is a fun and funny read for all ages and faiths as the sentiments are universal. Like the Michael Vey series about the electric children by Richard Paul Evans (a great series for kids who struggle with ADD, Tourette's, or just not fitting in) The World's Strongest Librarian makes us all feel a little bit stronger. Recommended.

Roots of Obamas Rage
by
Dinesh Dsouza
JournalistJoe
, April 27, 2012
One of the most frightening nonfiction reads ever, this book details the motivation behind all the economic policy disasters and "change" nobody wanted-like fewer jobs, housing prices so deflated, builders demolished new homes they couldn't sell; a much higher deficit in only three years than the prior Bush team created in eight; an overall fear in every American that his lies to unsuspecting college students about helping them end the double interest rate his own team passed in both the house and senate might be believed. As gas prices soar to more than double since he was sworn in, we wonder what is to come with this President-all because of an internal rage many of us have witnessed in him-a rage he can't always hide; a churning rage against Western dominance, wealth and power in the nation he was chosen to lead. This is why his policies are designed to make America poorer, why he welcomes a nuclear Iran, and whispered to the Russians over a live mic that he will dismantle the nukes during his next term. Dsouza believes Obama sees America as a rogue nation worse than North Korea, which is why "unusual" actions, such as his removal of a bust of Winston Churchill from the White House, and orders that NASA praise the scientific addition of Muslims now make sense. Obama wants to eliminate superpower status and "humble" this country. That he is running against a man who is the very embodiment of everything he loathes should make the upcoming election one to watch, and this book, an indispensable read.
