(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...

Warmth Of Other Suns The Epic Story Of Americas Great Migration
by
Isabel Wilkerson
Lauren - Vancouver
, January 02, 2013
Best book I read in 2012. Wilkerson tells a story that most of us never learned in school, and she tells it plainly. She traces the course of only three lives and manages to describe the reality of millions. It's a great read - I couldn't wait to read on - and deserving of all the honors. The Warmth of Other Suns should be required reading for all American high school students, and the rest of us, too.

Mink River
by
Brian Doyle
Lauren - Vancouver
, January 23, 2012
This novel has everything I look for in great fiction. An engaging story, fluidly told. Characters who move into my thoughts and stay for weeks. Beautiful writing that never interferes with the story. Surprises. Many surprises. Brian Doyle has created a world painted so vividly that I had to remind myself frequently that it doesn't really exist. When I finished reading, I wanted to read it again, immediately, to tease out a deeper understanding of motivations, of purpose, and to simply remain in the town of Mink River. Easily my favorite book of 2011; this is a book I give to my dearest friends who love to read.
