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...

Flight Behavior
by
Barbara Kingsolver

, January 31, 2013
So much more than the typical novel today. Very important issues, with a strangely calm, but dystopic bent. Wonderfully down to earth characters. Loved the ideas and sense of place. The decisions made by the protagonist are original, based on contemporary issues but without the techno-babble. Almost too much to absorb. Kingsolver takes the reader into the unknown. If only we would listen.

Where'd You Go, Bernadette

This book was a complete surprise. Completely original, unique, and contemporary. A father who works at Microsoft, Seattle, WA and a mother who is a messy artist, and the YA kids who are trying to live with humour in between. They live in the coolest old building, and have to deal with the morons around them. I really loved it!
