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...

Madwoman in the Volvo My Year of Raging Hormones

Sandra Tsing Loh

This book is even funnier than the reviews would have you believe. Anyone who can have these kind of insights into menopause is aces in my book: "It's like you lived on earth, and then you went to the moon, and lived there for a while...Now you're back where you started, the hormone levels of a preadolescent, and it's like 'Welcome home.'"

Casual Vacancy
by
J K Rowling
Elizabeth Alexander
, November 29, 2013
Don't read this book if you can't imagine JK Rowling as anything other than the writer of the Harry Potter series. She is a wholly different artist here. A masterful work that captures characters of all ages and backgrounds with a sharpness and clarity that will keep you reading through to the end. It's not a fairy tale. It's real life. And it's a darker version of what was played out in "It's a Wonderful Life," namely, what IS the effect of one person taken out of the picture, and it's effect on a small town, but really it could be any size town where humans move and breathe and get through their daily lives.
