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...

This is a curious and haunting novel. In the year 2010, the Monster Dogs, man-size dogs with prosthetic hands and voiceboxes, arrive in New York City. They are genteel and wealthy, and they are quickly welcomed into polite society, but their origins remain shrouded in mystery. One woman, a young journalism student, is given unique access to the Monster Dogs and begins to piece together their story, even as she is drawn deeper and deeper into their world. As one of the Monster Dogs notes, "It is a terrible thing to be a dog and know it."[a] Bakis [/a]does a masterful job of evoking the non-human qualities in the Dogs; they are sentient beings, but they still possess all the urges and characteristics of dogs, and Bakis doesn't let the reader forget this. The result is a story that is simultaneously eerie, grotesque, and gorgeous. There were certain flaws in the execution of the story, I thought, but it's a truly marvelous book and I loved it.
