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...

If you look at the color chart you will find many beautiful colors-cadmium yellow, permanent rose, indigo blue, but no matter how hard you look you wont find a Saffron. In the Casson house the color chart does not end at just the things that paint the world, but they value these shades so much that every one of their children is named after a color on the chart. Except ofcourse Saffron. So... why it's because maybe mommy isn't your mommy. When Saffron discovers this she starts to wonder. Her now ill grandfather is the only one who knows anything, and then of course he dies. In his will all the other children got a fair share but Saffy gets "Her angel in the garden" and that is were the adventure starts. I really enjoyed this story. It had a strong theme- You don't have to be related to your family. I would suggest this book to any age of reader because it is fast paced and and an easy read.It was worth the read and had a full-filling ending, and if you want more on the Cassons there are many prequels, focusing in on each child Rose, Indigo, and Cadmium. So in your family are you that one, that one that is special, different? Are you Saffron?

Book of Three: Book Review If losing a pig could change your whole life, If trying to find her could set you on a dangerous quest. In Prydain, a magical, fantastical world these things are not just possible they have actually happened. Taran, an assistant pig-keeper is hurtled on a treacherous journey for that very reason, losing his pig. This book is aimed for a reader of any age. It is fast paced and the wording is pretty simple. The heart, adventure ,and theme in this story make it easy to fall in love with. I give this book four out of five stars.
