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.

Saving The World
by
Julia Alvarez
Annis
, August 05, 2009
Quite the set of stories is captured in the novel, Saving the World. Julia Alvarez took me in with her contemporary main character, Alma, who in turn is carried away by Isabel,the heroine of a bygone era. Isabel’s saga returns us to an historical expedition: the dispersal of small pox vaccine throughout the new world by boy carriers sailing across many oceans. Alma becomes embroiled in a Caribbean experiment combating AIDS that also promotes sustainability. Read this for its early 19th century story and for fascinating obvious and elusive connections between the two women and their humanitarian men.

Last Week The Day By Day Account of Jesuss Final Week in Jerusalem
by
Marcus J Borg
Annis
, March 11, 2008
My 21st century mind and heart find these Christian scholars' discussion of Mark's Gospel completely intriguing and thoughtful. Oregon professor Borg and his colleague Crossan provoke profound discernment. Surely the author of Mark would welcome their ideas as compatible with the Jewish Jesus he may have known. They also correct centuries of ignorant interpretation concerning Jewish and Roman interests during Jesus' last week.
