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...

In Cold Blood A True Account of a Multiple Murder & Its Consequences
by
Truman Capote
Donna LaMotte
, November 05, 2014
It's not often that an author can portray murderers in such a light that the reader feels something close to empathy for the cast of characters, including the killers. It's another feat entirely to do this when the author is dealing with actual people in a work of non-fiction. The quadruple murder of a family, two parents and two children, drew Truman Capote's fascination so completely that he traveled to Holcomb, Kansas himself to interview the town. As the story unfolds, we find out the history of the murderers and how their pasts helped shape them into the men they became. The story is gripping. Capote's writing brings the horrifying events into focus.

No Plot No Problem A Low Stress High Velocity Guide to Writing a Novel in 30 Days

, August 25, 2013
If you've ever considered writing a book but had no idea how to start/keep going/feel inspired/etc. this is the book for you. By the founder of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month, this book coaches you through the process. As the tagline says, "At midnight tonight the train departs. Fifty thousand words. Thirty days. An unforgettable ride." It's a very informative book, not preachy at all, but instead very accessible and hilarious, too.
