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...

Looking for Betty MacDonald: The Egg, the Plague, Mrs Piggle Wiggle and I
by

I was so excited to see this biography of Betty MacDonald, as I had just read The Egg and I for a scholarly essay I'm writing. This biography is very timely. I saw the film version of The Egg and I when I was a child. I see MacDonald as the "godmother of chick lit," and I'm eager to see how the biographer treats MacDonald.

Love in Small Letters
by
Francesc Miralles

, August 17, 2015
What a delightful read! I found this book as I was traveling to Barcelona and wanted novels set in the area. This is the charming tale of a lonely academic whose life is changed January 1 by a stray cat visiting his apartment. Even if you don't go to Barcelona, this is still a lot of fun.

The Book Thief
by
Markus Zusak
JK
, January 01, 2010
I picked up The Book Thief just after reading a superficial book about a professional woman's wedding. After just 3 pages, I set it down and said, "oh, joy of text." It was immediately engaging, perhaps due to the notion that Death is the narrator, perhaps due to the more unusual take on Holocaust that features a foster family taking in a young girl who cannot read. It did not disappoint. I continue to regard it as a fascinating read.
