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 Chronology of Water: A Memoir
by
Lidia Yuknavitch
Sara Guest
, January 29, 2012
I read this when I was only a few weeks postpartum and it is about, in part, the grief of losing a child -- which I thankfully did not do. At the time I picked the book up, I thought, "I'd better wait on this. This is going to be too heavy." But there it was by the side of the bed each night, the stark and oddly inviting cover winking up at me. Saying, "You are strong enough to read this, girl." And though I think it would have been an incredibly powerful read no matter when I picked it up, I am glad now for the timing. My head was in some kind of flushed, netherworldly state and some of this book's powerhouse images are now burned in deep. If you are ever in need of a cathartic, rending read, pick up this book. And even if you're not in need of that, pick up this book.

I think this was the best book written all decade. It was the highlight of my reading experience since my late 20s.
