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...

Nothing in Reserve: true stories, not war stories.

I've already posted a glowing review, as I feel Nothing In Reserve is an excellent journey for all of us, whether you've served in the Armed Forces or not. But I could not pass up the opportunity to nominate it for a 2012 Puddly Award. Buy it! Read it!

Nothing in Reserve: true stories, not war stories.

Jack Lewis has the writing skills to bring you into his world and share the highs, the lows, the pain and the successes of a varied and colorful life. What I did not expect was that Jack's story would connect with my own mid-life struggles in such a powerful way. "Nothing In Reserve" accompanied me on a spontaneous motorcycle journey across the USA. It proved to be an excellent travel companion. I have never faced an armed enemy on the battle field, but at times my life has felt opposed by some other force. The risk of being taken out by an IED has never existed for me. The risk of being taken out of the life I want to live has become much more real as I age. Jack Lewis tells the reader of his battles, with humility and honesty. The degree to which his battles described mine was startling. Not in the myriad details of their execution, but in the impact they have on the soul. Jack skillfully moves the magnifying lens from the conflict to the conflicted. I believe that many readers will find themselves somewhere in this book. I did. I cannot recommend a book more highly.
