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.

Dud Avocado

I read in a review that this book was like an earlier Bridget Jones. Then I read in the introduction that people will surely compare this book to Bridget Jones, but it's not that simple. I suppose on the surface they may seem similar--young woman trying to find her way who gets into seemingly impossible situations. But The Dud Avocado is more than that. (I am not belittling the Bridget Jones books--I love them.) There are timeless truths, humor, sadness, and anything else you might encounter in life.

Blood on German Snow An African American Artilleryman in World War II & Beyond

Fascinating look at seemingly under-represented subject. Even if you're not interested in military history, it's great from an American History standpoint. In addition to his military experiences, Owens details growing up in segregated Texas and his life after World War II.
