(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...

Grace Disguised How the Soul Grows Through Loss
by
Gerald Laws Sittser

, January 03, 2012
2011 was a rough year at our home, with deaths of friends and a family member, other family health crises. Finding this little treasure confirmed what I knew but had lost sight of: that great blessings may be discovered in even the worst of tragedies, and that we are not alone in suffering. The author lost his mother, wife and a child in a highway crash and his life was changed forever. His insights gained and the empathy for others living in crisis are beautifully crafted into words of encouragement, hope, resolve.

Legend Of The Firefish
by

, September 02, 2011
The first hint that I'd love the book was a cover which hinted at adventure. Yet I don't care for fantasy or sea-faring stories. The map inside drew me further into the book. I began imagining the characters who lived within the chart's bounds. From the first paragraphs of prose, I was hooked. A call to adventure, battles between good and evil and even romance within the pages quickly changed my mind about this not being my kind of book.

Mindless Eating Why We Eat More Than We Think
by
Brian Wansink

, January 01, 2011
An easily-digested book related to what and how we humans eat, often without thought or plan. The author is a scientist with a sense of humor who explains concepts clearly, with wit and wisdom. Brian Wansink shows us not only our mindless actions and their effects, but how to modify them painlessly to lose weight and gain health without the rules of a weight-loss diet.

Animal Vegetable Miracle A Year of Food Life
by
Barbara Kingsolver

, January 03, 2010
Barbara Kingsolver, along with her husband and adult daughter, changed the way I see food and cooking. I can choose to support local farmers and to raise my own food. It will benefit my family and my community - and yes, it'll cost more in the short run. It's worth the time, adventure and additional expense to feed yourself and your family well from local sources. A pleasure to read and it offers its' readers an excuse to enjoy food from their own community.
