(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...

Deathwatch
by

This is an action and suspense involved story with a well-developed conflict. Robb White always keeps the reader wondering what is going to happen next by foreshadowing and by using cliffhangers throughout the book. You can not put the book down because you want to find out what will happen next. In the amazing book, Deathwatch, Ben is escorting a well-known hunter and business man named Madec. When Madec accidently shoots and kills a homeless prospector instead of a big horned sheep, he wants to leave the body and remain on his hunt. But Ben wants to do the right thing and take the body back to the town. These two characters, are constantly opposing each other. This makes the reader hope for Ben and to despise Madec. Readers who enjoy survival stories and/or adventure stories would love this book because there is never a dull moment.

Chronicles of Prydain 01 Book Of Three

I thought this was a fantastic story that was entertaining and full of action. Lloyd Alexander does a great job of keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. I found this book hard to put down. Hen Wen, a pig who can see the future, knows the cruel and ruthless Horned King is chasing after her to use her powers to strengthen the armies of evil, and has begun her frantic journey to safety. The assistant pig-keeper, Taran, sets out to find his pig and along the way, joins with other friendly characters who offer their loyalty. Their adventures are many, with exciting battles and unexpected twists. Each chapter leaves the reader wondering about the next.
