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...

Life

I, like many of us, love living vicariously through the biographies of others. I suffered with Jeannette Walls as she came of age in abject poverty, giggled as I read about the lives of Alice B. Toklas and Gertrude Stein in Stein's fake Toklas bio and learned about a world of musical love from Dylan in his Chronicles. Never, however, have I enjoyed masticating someone's life as much as I did when reading Keith Richard's Life. The self-incinerating homes! The rendezvous with McCartney! The recipe for bangers & mash! Besides all this, he and his co-writer Fox do a great job at going straight to the source and getting extended quotes from everyone except for Mick. Ah, Mick. Clearly, Richards had an axe to grind, but that's great fun, too! If you are a classic rock or blues fan or can't get your fill of Sixties and Seventies culture, you really need to pick this book up. I could go on and on about how well Richards can set a scene, how well edited it is (except for the last 20 pages or so) and how much I loved seeing the F-word in a recipe, but that's just extra. Go and read this f-ing book already!

Sisters Grimm 07 The Everafter War
by

The Sisters Grimm series keeps getting better and better! Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have fought the New York City childcare system, giants, dragons, and the Wizard of Oz, but this time they have to battle their toughest foes yet! The discovery of the Master will shock everyone and keep them coming back for more! Buckley's writing is masterful and keeps the pages turning by themselves. His strong, humorous characters are good role models for the kids in your life (or perhaps even yourself) since they call on ingenuity, love, and the skills they've mastered to get out of each new challenging scrape. Once I finished this book, I sent out emails to all of my friends recommending this series and plummeted into a deep depression waiting for the next exciting volume to be published - it's just as bad as waiting for the next Harry Potter book to come out! Read, enjoy and share! You'll be glad you did.
