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...

Beauty Queens
by
Libba Bray

, January 01, 2013
This was, by far, my favorite book of 2012! Libba Bray created a fantastically satirical, fun, and feminist novel in Beauty Queens. The novel takes place on an allegedly deserted island after a plane full of teenage beauty queen contestants crashes there. Left to their own devices for their survival, we see the competitors from various viewpoints and just how carefully they construct their personas to reflect - or change - their inner realities. This is a spectacularly enjoyable feminist and anti-consumerist coming-of-age story full of empowerment for young women - something you don't see often, especially this well done.

Time Travelers Wife
by

, January 01, 2010
This is such a fantastic book! The Time Traveler's Wife is an utterly compelling and fast-moving novel that sucks the reader in from the start. I stumbled upon this the summer it came out in paperback while traveling in 2005 and it has remained at the top of my list of great books since then. Niffenegger has woven romance and science-fiction without being too sappy or too fantastical - making a believable, heart-wrenching, lovely text.
