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...

Talented Miss Highsmith The Secret Life
by
Joan Schenkar

, April 10, 2010
Patricia Highsmith, a woman's woman, is absolutely fascinating! From her early writing for boys' comics to her famous Ripleys' series, she never disappoints. And Schenkar is certainly a match for her. Schenkar delves deeply into Highsmith's darkness, women, faith and how she writes. Be prepared to look up a couple of words per page.

by
Carol Kaesuk Yoon

, January 29, 2010
Like Kingdom >Phylum >Class >Order >Family >Genus >Species? Want to go beyond Linnaeus? Yoon switches back and forth between scientist and laywoman to expose the amazing world of living things and how they came to be classified, then that system challenged. She will restore your curiosity: you will find yourself sorting out bird calls, noticing red ants in your kitchen and wanting to know what kind of woodpecker is working on your roof.

Sound Of Butterflies
by
Rachael King
cathleenecasey
, January 16, 2010
Slow as a lepidoptera in a tropical rainstorm, this archaic novel belongs in the romance novel category. It is so tedious, so plodding. The simple plot device, dragging out the reason for her husband's strange behavior including muteness until nearly the end, reminded me of certain grade school novels because the reason is so obvious by the 3rd day of his Amazon trip. All the characters are one-dimensional, some almost cartoonish. There is nothing to even learn; I had hoped to at least become more knowledgeable about butterflies. Days of Our Lives meets the Amazon jungle.
