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...

Maui Revealed The Ultimate Guidebook 4th Edition

Loved this book on our Maui trip. It completely opened up Hawaii to us in a new way. The downside was that we ended up touring around to see things rather than just sitting and relaxing. Reminder for next time: do more of the latter.

Willful Creatures

I brought this book with me when i moved to France for a year. It is a signed copy, and I was worried about ruining in because it was such a pretty book. I think I read it very gently, which is appropriate. The stories are beautiful, so delicate and sweet or sad. Bender's characters do weird things when they freak out, and I often think that if I were just a little more mentally unstable that it would be a good idea to try them, that the characters are definitely on to something. Like, I should go hide in a closet at a party and cover myself with a big pile of everyone's coats. Or eat soap when i fear Intimacy. It's a stimulating and delightful read.

The Sisters Brothers

This book came recommended from several sources, so I was excited to pick it up for summer reading. Imagine my surprise to discover that it is actually a western. Well, you don't know me, so you probably couldn't imagine my surprise but I assure you, dear reader, I was surprised, and as it turns out, delighted. I read through this faster than you can say "shoot me." Okay, a little bit slower than that. But folks, this is a great read. Eli, the narrator, instantly stole my heart with his sweet killer ways and I was rooting for him the whole time. Will he find love? Will he mend his ways? That's for you to find out. As bonus, the chapters are short, so typically slow readers such as myself will feel boosts of self-esteem each time they finish one delightful chapter after another. Onward rider!
