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...

The Graveyard Book - Large Print Edition
by
Neil Gaiman

, February 07, 2010
I loved the Jungle Books as a child, and I loved The Graveyard Book. A quick read, and delightful, with its cemetary protagonists, it neither tells too much or too little, and it's restraint is just right. If you look too closely this ball of fluff might disappear with the morning sun, but why would you want to hurt something so lovely and so delightful? Enjoy it for a quick and joyful read. Gaiman at his best.

Enchantress of Florence
by
Salman Rushdie

, January 01, 2010
What secrets words contain. We twitter, blog, email using the stuff of magic. If we're lucky, we encounter a word magician. Someone, like Rushdie, who conjures an empire, pirates, a lost princess; the very stuff of our violated dreams, and spins it out before us. The Enchantress of Florence played upon me with simple words and I did not want it to stop.
