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...

Catching Fire: Hunger Games #2
by
Suzanne Collins
methebolt
, January 01, 2013
This is the best book of the much-vaunted Hunger Games trilogy. Suzanne Collins wrote a masterpiece here, bringing back Katniss, the Girl on Fire, and her band of people who are bound to her vicious and conniving personality. One might ask, "What makes us keep coming back to this story about a post-apocalyptic world where teenagers are forced to fight to the death to please a bloodthirsty Capitol?" The rich and vibrant writing style of Collins is what makes me come back. The lure of the suprise that is sure to come is strong too. Trust me, you won't believe your eyes.

Heir to the Empire 20th Anniversary Edition

, August 04, 2012
An incredible book; the 20th Anniversary edition of Heir to the Empire, the book that started the Star Wars novel era. The author added his comments on the margins, comments about characters, names and placest that he created. It also has a brand new short story. Great book, definitely worth the money.

Heir to the Empire 20th Anniversary Edition
by

This book is the classic; the one that started it all. Without Heir to the Empire, there would be no STAR WARS novels as we know them today. Heir introduces some of the most beloved characters, like Mara Jade, Captain Pellaeon, Talon Karrde, the Noghri and Grand Admiral Thrawn. And the plot is amazing intricate, with things that you never thought would matter having astronomical consequences. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the galaxy far, far away.

Star By Star Star Wars New Jedi Order 9
by
Troy Denning
methebolt
, September 12, 2011
This is the most awesome book in the New Jedi Order. You must read this book in order to understand the rest of NJO as well as the Legacy of the Force and Fate of the Jedi series. First the plot. Troy Denning does a masterful job weaving this story together. The Yuuzhan Vong are cloning a jedi-hunting animal. So Luke Skywalker send Anakin, Jacen and Jaina Solo of to the world of Myrkr to destroy the clone template. It is one of the best STAR WARS books ever written in my humble opinion.
