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...

Did You Ever Have A Family

I LOVE THIS BOOK!! The writing is so fabulous and each voice, even if not recurring, is so important to the story and the clear picture that the author reveals to you page by page. This is truly a book to experience - not just read. I will recommend it to everyone I know. As I was drawn, no pulled to the end of the story I felt every emotion that one could feel for these characters (being careful here not to reveal anything here) - but it is true. I only have three words for anyone.... READ THIS BOOK. This is one of my favorite books this year .... ever..... I finished it yesterday and am still thinking of it today. What a fabulous journey.... things come full circle - truths are told and I will never forget this book. Thank you Mr. Clegg and to Powell's for making this the Indespensible selection this month!

Our Endless Numbered Days
by

, August 20, 2015
This is one of the most well written books that I have ever read. I recieved it as part of my Indespensible subscription from Powell's and picked it up one day to read and finished it a day later - unable to stop thinking about it. I was immediately engrossed in Peggy and her story. She is a very endearing character. I was wondering how the author would fit so much into the book - but she did beautifully - the prose and beautiful and the story engrossing. A wonderful debut novel for Claire Fuller and I will look for what she releases next. Also cheers to Powell's books for the beautiful specialprinting of this book through Tin House - one of the most beautiful books in my collection. (As a side note - I love that it was named for an Iron and Wine album and that it was even discussed her interviews)
