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...

Girl Who Chased The Moon
by
Sarah Addison Allen
ReaderWoman California
, January 01, 2011
The mystery and magic that Allen brings to her books is charmingly present in The Girl Who Chased the Moon. Allen's sense of the whimsical and the fantastic has woven a story of a young girl in a new town, out of sync with her past life, and a young man trying to escape his family's past. Like Southern fireflies, the flickers and glimmers of light within this novel's pages will delight you, and make you a Sarah Addison Allen fan... if you aren't already!

Growing Up Laughing
by
Marlo Thomas
ReaderWoman California
, October 08, 2010
A great book that is a memoir/journal of American humor and comics (then and now!)Thomas' book gives us the chance to feel touched, reminiscent, entertained, enlightened, charmed and very involved with the narrative itself. At 72 (her 73rd birthday is in November), she remains the vibrant, peppy girl we remember from That Girl - and yet her personal growth and feminism was and is a beacon to baby boomer women who watched her life avidly for strength and encouragement. "I was a lucky kid," Marlo writes, "to have a seat at the table...with those comic warriors who had the audacity to stand up in a room full of strangers with the conviction that they could bring them all together in laughter. Those stories of those times have been humming in my head all of my life, and I decided at last to write them down." I am so glad she did!
