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...

Zillow Talk The New Rules of Real Estate
by
Spencer Rascoff, Stan Humphries, E Kinney Zalesne
susanusha
, February 23, 2015
Written by the co-founders of Zillow, this book is chock full of info of interest to home-owners, people thinking of owning a home, and home sellers too. They have so much data at their finger-tips...and the data shows some surprising things. I'm not in real estate or even business, but I found this book so readable, and humorous too.

Seed Underground An Outlandish Revolution to Save Food
by
Janisse Ray
susanusha
, November 30, 2014
If you are interested in food or gardening, this book will be fascinating. Why do people save seeds? What are those people like? (eccentric, dedicated and interesting) Janisse Ray is a good writer, and she shines writing about this subject.

Frog Trouble
by

Lively and fun for the whole family. Country songs go so well with Boynton's drawings. The songs are clever, and the singers ultra-talented. Play it after diner; the whole family will be either looking at the book or dancing around the living room!

Jim Henson The Biography
by
Brian Jay Jones
susanusha
, December 08, 2013
This fascinating biography not only traces the events of Henson's life, but also gives a real sense of his spirit, his ethics, and his vision. The genius behind Elmo, Miss Piggy, and Kermit, was apparently as warm and loving as he was funny and original. His four children, his ex-wife, and his work colleagues all seem to admire him. He was not perfect, and he had to overcome great prejudice against puppeteers; thankfully, he succeeded or the world would be poorer.

Making Masterpiece 25 Years Behind the Scenes at Masterpiece Theatre & Mystery on PBS
by
Rebecca Eaton
susanusha
, November 30, 2013
I read it and enjoyed it because I am a hardcore Masterpiece fan. She weaves her personal life in with her professional, and knowing the personal losses she endured makes her work admirable. However, she's a producer, not a writer, and the book is not one that would capture the imagination of anyone who has not enjoyed Masterpiece. Her comments about the famous people she worked with, including Judi Dench, Allistair Cooke, and Colin Firth are fun.

Mindsight the New Science of Personal Transformation
by
Daniel J Siegel
susanusha
, January 02, 2013
If I mention brain research and consciousness, you may yawn. But Siegel's vast experience with patients and his own family fill this book with anecdotes and practical advice. If you have any interest in psychology, happiness, or self-awareness, you will probably find this book engaging.
