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 Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
by

Nonfiction that reads like a ficitional page turner. Fascinating story!! She folds in the scientific aspect (easy to understand aspects of cells) without interrupting the flow of the story or making it sound like a lecture in school. She does a great job with the actual people, as she was not judgemental, but she also didn't sugarcoat the story. She just lays in out there with her touch of humanity. The author brought in so many different aspects and sides to the story, so you get a complete well-rounded tale. The research and work that went into this story amazes me. Exciting and can't be missed!

Yellow Umbrella Book & Audio Cd
by

, September 03, 2011
Magical children's picture book with colorful pictures and no words. The reader follows umbrellas on a journey, and at the end, you find out who is under the umbrellas and where they are going. The book is wordless, but the coolest part is the included CD soundtrack, which has beautiful piano music that follows the story page by page. On the page where the umbrellas cross a train track, the music sounds like a train, while on another page, it sounds like rain. The book and CD together are happy, fun, and magical. It won the NY Times Best Illustrated Book Award and was originally published in South Korea. Gift Quality!
