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...

Amplified Fiction from Leading Alt Country Indie Rock Blues & Folk Musicians

I was surprised how good most of these stories are. I know most of these people write great songs, so good it seems that good writing goes beyond their usual genre. My favorite story in this book is Rhett Miller's.

Dirty Cowboy
by
Amy Timberlake

, October 30, 2009
I shared this book as a read aloud with my third grade class as a study in story structure. I had to read it three times because we were all laughing so hard we kept missing things. After we decontructed the story for all its parts (characters, plot, setting, problem, resolution etc) I put the book on the chalk tray. My students were rushing to finish their work so they could get their hands on it again. They couldn't get enough of "The Dirty Cowboy". I highly recommend reading this book, especially with boys. I've never had such an enthusiastic response from boys about a book as this one. It helped them see that reading isn't "just a girl thing".

Path with Heart A Guide Through the Perils & Promises of Spiritual Life
by
Jack Kornfield

I have a huge crush on Jack Kornfield. His writing makes me think he is funny and kind. He also suffers no fools and manages to answer all the possible questions of the skeptic. Good stuff.

Read Aloud Handbook 6th Edition 2006 2007

I love this book! As a teacher, I see how reading aloud with kids really helps them develop as readers. Their fluency, comprehension and love of reading increases with every book I read to them. We develop as a community of readers and sharing book experiences helps us grow as a family. I recommend this book to parents and I also give it as a baby shower gift. I know it's not a traditional gift, but it's one that can really grow with the child.

Perfect for a read aloud with 3rd graders. The first page grabs their attention and the last chapter surprises them everytime. Riveting!

A great book to help bridge the gap between yoga on the mat and yoga in your life. Judith Lasater writes in a straight forward, friendly tone that makes living yoga sound totally reasonable.
