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...

I Was Told Thered Be Cake

I am appalled that people liked this book. Read much? The writing is poor, but worse yet are the author's mean spirited demeanor and crass topics. Is this what we find amusing? There are so many well educated, intelligent authors out there who write beautifully, are funny, and don't step on "friends" to advance their own "humor". Very sad. Read David Sedaris and tell me one "friend" quoted or noted that would be hurt and/or embarrasssed by the prose.....none, right? Now read this book - would YOU be proud to be this woman's friend? Get wise: Read books by real writers. Read books that would actually pass muster as a high school essay. Read books that don't dredge up crap (literally) to get laughs.

This book was terrible - bearly readable: poorly written, dislikeable characters, unlikely plot. Look at the Powell's site, overflowing with intelligent, thoughtful, well written works of art - don't waste your time on this crap. (I couldn't)
