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...

Loved this book! I fell into the story on page two and couldn't put it down. The characters were well developed and I truly cared what happened to each. One of the best books I read in 2010.

This book actually sat on my shelf for months before I finally relented to the gold cover and started reading. I had resisted because everyone (including my mother) was singing its praises. They were right and I should have succumbed to literary peer pressure earlier. I was hooked by page two and truly cared about the characters from the start. I was deeply involved with this book and only when I finished realized I spent the entire night in the same chair having only moved to turn the pages. This is a must read and I'll be on the lookout for any future books by Kathryn Stockett.

Knitchicks Guide to Sweaters Classic Styles for the Modern Knitter

I was shocked to see the publication date as 2009 as none of the patterns are even remotely in style. I cannot imagine knitting anything out of this book without having to heavily adapt the pattern.

Club Dead Sookie Stackhouse 03

A fast paced fun romp with vampires and werewolves...what a fun read! This is the third in the Southern Vampire series and it was just as good as the first two books. The heroine, Sookie, returns as sassy as ever. This time she's upset with her recently kidnapped vampire boyfriend, Bill. The help of a werewolf is enlisted to find Bill, but Sookie finds herself attracted to him. She's torn between were and vamp on her adventure. Who will she choose? Check it out!

I fell in love with this fun read from the first chapter. The main character of Jo is instantly likable and I found myself completely engrossed in the story. This is a great beach read!

Wetlands

I really wanted to like this book, especially since it made the long list for the 2010 Tournament of Books. The initial shock factor was entertaining, but fell flat after the first two chapters. The character of Helen is boring and predictable. I quickly lost interest in this book that tries incredibly hard to be increasingly disgusting with each chapter. I find it difficult to believe this book was written by a woman as the tone is more like that of a pre-teen boy.
