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...

Watch Over Me

This is a beautiful book about overcoming fears and grief. It covers loss and abandonment. It shows love. This is a story of a young girl who was treated horribly by her mother’s boyfriend. She ends up in the foster system and eventually moves to a farm for foster children where she teaches a young boy. This boy is dealing with many difficult things, and she gives him advice to deal with it. They form a close bond and, she develops a love for teaching. The farm has many ghosts. Most are friendly and interactive with those who live on the farm. The ghosts are interesting and are a major part of the story towards the end but this is not a book about the paranormal and only mentions the ghosts for most of the book. They are not a major part of it.

To Sleep in a Sea of Stars
by

I absolutely adored this book. I am a huge fan of Christopher Paolini and this book didn’t let me down. This book is about a young woman who is a researcher on a space mission. On one mission, she stumbles upon an odd assortment of rocks. She goes to check it out and falls into a room that looks like it was made purposefully by an intelligent life form. Then an odd dust begins to cover her and her whole world goes dark. She wakes up after much time has passed. Later, the dust re-emerges and tragedy strikes. When she wakes again, her whole crew is dead and she is covered in a layer of dust. She then is experimented on for a long time and has to learn how to live with and control the suit. She fights many battles and goes on many adventures throughout the book. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but it is very long, and at some points I felt it was a bit slow.
