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...

Volt Stories

This is the most amazing short fiction collection that I've held in my hands since I picked up my fist Flannery O'Connor. I found myself rereading sentences to see how Heathcock got the language so exactly right, every single time. It's dark, it's brooding, it's occasionally horrifying in its unexpected acts of brutality, but underneath it all, the characters have a nobility and honesty that I haven't seen in fiction in years. If you're not reading this, you're truly missing one of the greats.

Creative Habit Learn It & Use It for Life

I love to read about other artists' creative processes and routines, so I knew I would enjoy this one. But Tharp brought so much more to the table. The book is full of exercises and suggestions for anyone to add more creativity to their lives and more spine to their art. I took thorough notes and expect to be using some of these tips immediately.

I Capture The Castle
by

, September 10, 2009
This is the rare "teen" classic that adults can enjoy- and fails to deliver a trite, syrupy ending. For that reason alone, it was worth the read. Add to that the well-drawn characters, the fully developed setting, and a plot that draws in the reader, and I have to give it five stars. I read it for the first time at 32, and loved it dearly.
