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...

How The Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
by
Julia Alvarez
Nikki
, February 20, 2007
I will recommend this book a thousand times, to any woman I know. Alvarez conveys beautifully every struggle and triumph in the lives of her characters, carrying everything they feel clearly onto her page. All of the characters feel like real human beings, and their lives are so vivid that you really will be put in their shoes. This book will not leave you disappointed.

Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend
by
Christopher Moore
Nikki
, February 20, 2007
Moore has a tightrope artist's ability to be completely irreverent but not at all disrespectful. This book dictates the life of Jesus through the character Biff, who feels some consternation at being brought back from the dead to write about his best friend. This book--a ridiculous, hilarious novel--will have you searching everywhere for a ticket into Moore's mind.
