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...

The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism
by
Edward E Baptist
Rise
, December 03, 2017
Please learn your history - the first slave owner who pleaded his case before the courts in this country, was a black man. This book is a one-sided completely biased and wrong telling of the actual events. Not worth reading - unless your want more brainwashing by The Left.

Tall Book Of Fairy Tales
by
Eleanor Graham Vance, Sharp
Rise
, September 19, 2015
This book is a wonderful collection of all the beloved fairytales. With all of the movies being made from these stories, it is a great way to connect further by the actual written word - not just the cinematography. I've had this book since I was 5 years old, and every so often it is just a marvelous treat to find myself in a fantasy world of witches, giants, princes and, of course, the Fairy Princess. A must-read to children of ALL ages!

Fifty Shades of Grey
by
E L James
Rise
, May 17, 2012
This book COULD have been a real thriller - except it's already been done...under the name, "Master of the Universe." It's a knock-off, done badly. Why didn't someone take the time to correct the misspelled words, the "British-speak", and the repetitive "Holy Crow or Cow" through this book. It took about an hour to skim through - there's just no substance to it.

This has got to be one of the most outrageously PUNNY CD's ever! And how did they EVER get those big-name stars to sing these songs! I LOVE IT!!! Even if you are only a child at heart, this will get you going. You will instantly be swept back in time to a younger you, a funnier you, and more HAPPIER you! Just TRY and keep from dancing!!! I dare you - no, I DOUBLE DARE you!

The Works of David Mallet Esq
by
David Mallet
Rise
, December 29, 2007
These books are on a "Foote-ing" with another great writer of Civil War history. If anyone wants to really delve ino the background and intimate details of the War Between the States, then this compilation is one of the best. You get great insight into what was in their minds, hearts and souls during the worst conflict this Nation has faced. This award-winning series lets the reader become part of the battlefield, the campsite, the quiet moments and the hostilities; as if you are riding with them, walking and talking with them....and ultimately crying and praying with them. Throughout the volumes, it may be necessary to reach for a Kleenex. It should be required reading for every single student in our Public School System.

If you like books that are based on the ramblings of a drug addict, then this is the one for you!
