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...

Summers End

I fell in love with this series on the first book, The Summer Girls. When I started this novel, I felt like I was reuniting with old friends. Harper, Carson and Dora are three half-sisters who experience many life changing issues and continue to grow in strength. Relying on the love of family, these three overcome many obstacles. I love how Mary Alice Monroe keeps her characters so genuine. The sisters fight and get on each other’s nerves, just like all families! Then, they make up and build on the strength of each other to survive. The setting is another favorite. I can just smell the marshes and the sea. I can picture the wildlife and feel the sun! I am visiting this place SOON!! If you are looking for the perfect beach read, this is it!! Excellent characters and the low country setting make it a great summer read! I received this novel from the author for an honest review.

This is a different style of Catherine Mckenzie. Her books are usually funny and just plain crack me up. This one stepped out of her comfort zone. This story is told through three different view points; the wife, Claire, the husband, Jeff and the other woman, Tish. These different voices slowly unravel the tale. It’s amazing how one choice has a snowball effect on so many lives. This novel breaks your heart. The grief expressed by both women will keep you torn between the two and will make you wonder “does anybody really know anybody.” The complexities of the book are really fantastic. The reader experiences ever-changing emotions all throughout the saga. The reader will be guessing until the end…well, did they or didn’t they????? There are a lot of life lessons in this book. It is well worth the read! “Each time we spoke or wrote or thought, we chose.”

This was a really interesting look into the life of Sir Isaac Newton and his study in alchemy. It had just enough mystery in it to keep you turning the pages.

This book just adds fuel to the biblical history fire!! It is a wonderfully written book about, what else, Mary Magdalene. I was very much enchanted with the countryside of France and Spain. It is set near Carcasonne and it talks a great deal about Montserrat and Montsegur. FABULOUS BOOK!!!!
