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...

I love this book. It's now one of my all time favorites. When I first began reading, it felt like I was learning a new language and then as I continued on, I felt I was reading a novel in this new language I had just learned. The story stretched my mind in new ways and I hope to return to read it again and again. There's a dead woman, some detectives but above all of that is the world it all takes place in, how it all works and the language that is necessary to convey it all. A great read!

Girl on the Train Audio Book

This is one of my favorite audiobooks. The story is told from three different perspectives and each part is read by a different woman. The story shifts from woman to woman and the distinctive voices makes for a smooth transition. As you begin to recognize the voices, it signals immediately which point of view you're in each time you return to listen. I thought the book could be a little repetitive at times but, in my opinion, that makes it great for a listen since it ensures you don't miss much if your get distracted. I did figure it out before we got to the conclusion but not all that much before. A fun, entertaining listen.
