Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

Air We Breathe

This novel is set at in the fall of 1916 at Tamarack Lake's state sanatorium for sufferers of Tuberculosis. The cold mountain air, total rest, and rigid diet were the prescribed cure for individuals who had contracted the disease. Wealthy tubercular patients had the luxury of private cure cottages, but charity patients, who were largely immigrants, filled the state sanatorium. It was a time of discovery and of distrust. Scientific knowledge was increasing as the threat of war loomed. The patients were stuck in the mountains with little news of the outside, so when the opportunity presents itself, they create their own drama.

Broken for You

This exquisite novel addresses social issues, human foibles, and personal growth. I want to share more of my thoughts, but my words only make the story sound trite. It is anything but. Seldom does a book inspire such a plethora of emotions in its readers.
