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...

The Orchardist
by
Coplin, Amanda

There are few examples of truly great Pacific Northwest literature, but this is one of them. The author successfully evokes a sense of place and time, while weaving together a story that calls into question our typical notions of justice and compassion, family and loyalty, happiness and love.

Here If You Need Me: A True Story
by
Kate Braestrup
maren
, January 01, 2012
Braestrup describes her journey as a chaplain for a public agency in Maine with wisdom that can only result from the experience of meeting people in their moments of greatest joy and greatest sorrow. While I didn't always share her perspective on things, she contemplates her experience with honesty and openness that draws you in and invites you to consider your own deeply held values.

Dirty Life A Memoir of Farming Food & Love
by
Kristin Kimball
maren
, January 01, 2012
The author perfectly blends her experience with the local food movement and the challenges of a young relationship. It comes across as refreshingly honest without being overly sappy or too self-absorbed. I simply enjoyed the book, but it also seems like it could be a relationship self-help book for those individuals who wouldn't be caught dead reading a relationship self-help book.
