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...

Wow. Simply, wow! This book was recommended by a friend and I am SO very glad I listened! Not my genre and I don't think I would have read it were it not for that recommendation. I have a 3 year old and immediately identified with the first person narrative of the child in this story. Captivating. Roller coaster. Read the book in 4 days because I could not put it down. Heart warming. Painful. Cover your eyes frightening. So many emotions in such a short period of time. The mother and child at the heart of this story are champions of creativity and strength in the face of adversity. Please, read this book.

Dirty Job

This was my first experience with Christopher Moore and I was extremely pleased. I liked Anthony's On A Pale Horse and thought a comedic version of a similar storey might be entertaining. Turns out I really, really, really like Moore's humor. But there was more than just humor. I really enjoyed the relationships between a lot of the characters (especially Charlie and his daughter). And I am headed over to Burnside in 10 minutes to get another of his books. Stay tuned.
