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...

Pacific Northwest Nature Sketchbook
by
Jude Siegel

, January 13, 2007
This book is an excellent introduction to Nature Journaling. The author sets out her method in easy-to-understand steps, taking the mystery out of buying paper, brushes, and paints, and how to set up a palette, make a palette map, and get started drawing the natural world. The illustrations are Jude Siegel's own vibrant drawings and paintings. This book made me reach for my pen and watercolors!

Inhabited World
by

, January 05, 2007
When I finished reading The Inhabited World by David Long I knew that it was going to be hard to find anything else to read. What could top this? A ghost story, a love story, great setting (the Pacific Northwest), sex, childhood, and suspense? And all in prose so clean and elegant that is is breathtaking. This is a darn good read. Strong begining, compelling middle, and perfect-o ending. Here's the premise: dead guy gently haunts the house where he killed himself, and spies on the new owner, a woman who is escaping her addictive relationship with a married man.

Jump At The Sun
by
Kim Mclarin
Linera
, January 05, 2007
I just finished reading Kim McLarin's newest novel, Jump at the Sun. There isn't a sentimental moment in it, though the topic is one prone to the worst excesses of squishy thinking, for Jump at the Sun is about mothers and daughters, motherhood, and what,if any, are the boundaries of familial duty. This is a compelling, unflinching read. And now that I've said that, I'm sure you will never want to pick up the book. And that would be a pity, as it is a darn good read, a real page-turner. But the word "unflinching" I can hear you mutter, this scares me. Yup. Real discusions of what it means to be a mother, those are rare, and they are not all sweetness and light. What I find so amazing and powerful is that McLarin asks the hardest questions about this subject. And there are no easy answers. That she does this, and comes up with a novel with characters who make me ache for them, that is the mystery of good writing.
