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...

Complete Adventures of Curious George
by
Margret Rey, Margaret Rey
Britton
, April 22, 2017
This is my 3-year-old grandson's FAVOURITE book. We read it every time I put him to bed. It's filled with the iconic pictures, & the well-loved mischief of a verrry curious monkey. Highly recommended!

Dear White America Letter to a New Minority
by
Tim Wise
Britton
, May 14, 2014
This is the book you need to counter arguments that white privilege doesn't exist. Wise has statistics, moving stories, and his own experience to help you convince others. And to remind us all that there are always unseen forces at work in our lives, especially where race is concerned.

This Is Getting Old
by
Susan Moon
Britton
, January 29, 2011
I bought this book in part because of the title. It's amazing -- funny, useful, affirming, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from wry humour and reflection. Buy it!

Keeping a Nature Journal Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You
by
Clare Walker Leslie
Britton
, October 20, 2010
This is a book that keeps disappearing off my shelves ~ the kind of book that 'walks.' Everyone loves it: writers, journal keepers, science geeks, sketch artists, nature buffs. I've been following Clare Walker Leslie's work since her first book (which I also still own). She makes keeping a journal full of nature seem.. well, natural. Great for a holiday gift, but even better for yourself.

Robbing the Bees A Biography of Honey The Sweet Liquid Gold That Seduced the World
by
Holley Bishop
Britton
, August 08, 2010
I admit that I'm slightly gaga over bees. But even for those who aren't, this is a great book. Full of history, natural science and the story of Donald the beekeeper -- as well as Bishop's own experiences raising bees -- the book is funny, fascinating and just plain fun.

Peaceable Classroom
by
O'Reilley, Mary Rose
Britton
, August 08, 2010
Almost every year, when back-to-school mania grips teachers around the country, several of us re-read Mary Rose O'Reilley's The Peaceable Classroom. And each year the circle of teachers I know who rely on her unique blend of humour, insight and balance grows. Read this if you want to improve your own teaching, certainly. But read it, too, if you just want to know more about learning -- your own and others.

Water Touching Stone
by
Eliot Pattison
Britton
, January 01, 2010
When a piece of genre fiction reaches into your life and tugs, hard, it's amazing enough. But when a mystery set in an unknown country, peopled by characters w/ unpronounceable names, makes you feel part of the inner and outer landscapes of the book, the characters, the world... That's brilliance.
