Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
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...

Rules of Civility
by

This book was recommended to me after I told a bookseller my favorite novel is THE GREAT GATSBY. Although the narrator is not as detached as Fitzgerald's Nick Carraway, I appreciated the elegant tone of this novel about pre-World War II New York society life as told from the perspective of an outsider making her way in. A great debut; I'm looking forward to Mr. Towles' next novel.

Stunning and beautiful, Silver Sparrow draws you in quietly at the beginning and keeps pulling you along breathlessly. Even when you know it will not end well, you can't resist. I wish every book I read could be this good.

With or Without You
by

, September 02, 2011
This was one of those books where, when you get toward the end, you can't decide whether you want to read faster, to find out how things are going to end, or read slower, because you want to make it last as long as possible. Farrey crafts an engaging story that will resonate with anyone who's ever felt like they don't fit in.
