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...

Ready Player One

This is the most fun book I've read in a long time. A bit sci-fi, a bit adventure story, and a real love letter to '80s pop culture and video games. You'll cheer on the main characters as they race against the rest of the world -- and each other -- to solve a series of riddles and complete challenges on the way to winning the prize of a lifetime. If you have any geek tendencies at all, this book is a must-read.

Raw Shark Texts

It's a good thing I started this book on a weekend and didn't have to be up early the next morning. I was up late, playing the "one more chapter and then I'll go to sleep... oh, ok, *one* more chapter" game. The Raw Shark Texts is a compelling thriller and Steven Hall has created a marvelous world in which to tell it. This book is a delightful read and one heck of a page-turner.

Sliver Of Truth

I loved her first book, Beautiful Lies (which I highly recommend reading before picking up this one). When I found out there was a second installment in Ridley Jones' story, I was skeptical but curious. Unger doesn't disappoint. This book is every bit as intriguing, thrilling and fun to read as its predecessor and has led to several rounds of "just one more chapter and then I'll put it down." I'm definitely going to be looking for future books by this author.

Thirteenth Tale

This wonderful tale of a famous, but somewhat mysterious, author and the rare book dealer she picks to write her biography -- the first truthful version of it she's given -- is one of the most fun books I've read in awhile. It's got wonderful characters, just the right amount of twists and turns, and will remind you of all the things that make reading and being a reader so very special.

Schrodinger's Ball

How to make quantum physics fun and easy-to-understand: Add one musician who may or may not be dead; trigger-happy members of the Free State of Montana; a few half-hour orgasms; a cat (who also may or may not be dead) and one bag-lady historian. Mix well. Sit back and get ready to laugh. If only someone could figure out how to make all scientific theories this entertaining.
