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 Neverending Story

This is one of my favorite books. I asked for it for Christmas, and I was told they didn't even make it anymore, so my friend's mother ordered a special copy for me. I saw the movie when I was little, and my initial motivation for reading was to discover the name that Bastian screams out the window. Upon reading, I discovered that the book was so much better than the movie. The ending was absolutely touching, and I love the passage in the beginning about weeping bitter tears when the reader must part with the characters. It was an absolutely amazing read.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I read this book on vacation this summer in one night. I came away from the book with a feeling of calm... like everything would be okay. The book has sat on my desk for weeks so I can look at it when I need to. Having dealt with a lot of family problems with alcoholism, there are a lot of passages that really helped me. My personal favorite is on page 211 when Chbosky writes, "I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there." I highly recommend it to anyone.
