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...

Beautiful Ruins

You know that feeling when you are nearing the end of an awesome book and it's like when you you are eating a perfect dessert? You try to make it last but then you just end up gobbling it all up. I absolutely loved this story...everything about it. The connections, turns of fate, bittersweet loves, humor, loss, comfort. All of humanity is wrapped up in this perfect novel.

Steve McQueen The Life & Legend of a Hollywood Icon

Marshall Terrill, while obviously a huge McQueen fan, does not pull any punches in delving deep into the psychology of Steve McQueen. I love reading biographies and this did not disappoint. Now I know why Steve McQueen is the King of Cool. His mystique is so well explained in this very honest portrayal of a very tortured soul. Terrill left me with a very deep impression for better or worse of a man that never compromised.

Great historical fiction and a totally absorbing novel. We all know the story but this heavily researched piece of art is written from a completely fresh perspective. Why is it so much fun to read about these peeps? Well, read the book and find out.
