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 Small Backs of Children

I read it in two days and then I started reading it again because it's that kind of book, one that ought to be chewed on for a while. Maybe it even nudges you to chew on yourself until you free your body from the trap of what we've been told stories are supposed to be. This story is not a formulaic feel good hero story; that's one of the reasons I love it and why you should read it.

The Chronology of Water: A Memoir

Don't expect The Chronology of Water to be a typical memoir. Brace yourself for something far better. A spectacular book that nudges you into thinking opposed to being a formulaic comfort food like memoir that that one popular daytime tv show host would have her book club read. This book pulverizes restrictive notions commonly held about who a woman is or should be. I would love to hear more voices of strong gender-stereotype shattering people like Lidia Yuknavitch. Give it a read... I bet you can't put it down.
