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...

Jitterbug Perfume

Long ago a copy of this book was passed around among friends, friends of friends, relatives, etc. By the time it got to me it was already in bad shape. When I saw it again, months later, it had coffee stains, pages falling out, underlining, and a torn cover -- all signs of a good journey for a book. Our inside jokes based on Jitterbug Perfume lasted for years... One thing is for sure: if you read it, you will never think of beets the same way again.

Poisonwood Bible
by
Barbara Kingsolver

, February 11, 2010
Every story Kingsolver tells is beautifully written and engaging. But The Poisonwood Bible is her magnum opus. It is both a powerful and gripping narrative and a mythic tale, a story with many layers and themes that seamlessly blend together. This is a profound novel that will take the reader on a unique journey.

Wild Trees

, September 29, 2009
One of the most engaging and awe-inspiring non-fiction books I've read in many years. My jaw dropped and stayed there for most of the book. It is full of true adventure and mind-boggling natural history, all wrapped up in a wonderful and satisfying story. It made me want to pack the car and head north. Fast.
