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...

Hi, my cousin chloe, died in 2006 at the age of just 5 from cystic fibrosis. Every page I read through, brought a tear too my eye! In 2012 in secondry school, I did a presentation about cf in my class's. It was a shock to find out that NOONE new what cystic fibrosis was! Althought one or two people was crying on how sad and yound she was before and after she died! I got asked questions like: ' What is cystic fibrosis?' ' Is cf a death threatening illness' I expected atleast the teachers too know what cf is but obviously they didn't However, every day of chloe life she was In a lot of pain, in and out of the childrens hospital, but she was brave enough to keep a smile on her face! I just wish I could give her a bunch of hugs, kisses and say good bye too her I didn't really know a lot then because I was five aswell :'( ♥ miss her so much she wasn't a cousin too me she was more like a sister!
