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...

Bright Baby Animals
by
Priddy Books
lindsey b
, September 04, 2010
This book is great for infants to toddlers. Even better when you make your most enthusiastic animal noise to go along with the animal. The book end with a bee. I make a bzzzzzzing noise and circle my finger like a bee flies and then tickle my daughter and she cracks up every time, then wants to read the book again. It's the only book that keeps her happy in the car. Pictures are great and animals aren't all the ones you see all the time. Highly recommended. Great shower gift.

Toes Ears & Nose A Lift the Flap Book
by
Bauer, Marion Dane
lindsey b
, September 04, 2010
If your baby is like mine, 15 months and busy, this book is great to engage him/her in reading. This book was given to me by my aunt Annette, a long time teacher, and I didn't realize it at the time, but it's an AWESOME book for infants and toddlers. You and they can interact with the book as you read together. Every page has a flap to lift that reveals a body part. It's colorful. It's great. I plan to gift it to my friends with babies reaching toddler age.

Lonely Polygamist

When people look at you funny as you chuckle while reading this book, you owe it to them to tell them what they are missing! This is as good a book as I've read in the last year or so, and I read a fair number of books. Really, if you are thinking about it, you might as well get it. Funny, complicated, sad, informative, and human. A book you'll want to savor.

Let The Great World Spin
by
Colum McCann
lindsey b
, March 29, 2010
There's a reason this book won the National Book Award. So, so good. Even if you aren't 'into' New York life. The characters are human. Perfect accompaniment to Man on Wire (documentary).

Day The Falls Stood Still
by

A beautiful love story and a story of families and war and of the Niagara set in late 1800's-early 1900's. So many details of the River Niagara in the book. Makes you want to go see it for yourself. Fantastic read, beautifully written.

Big Burn Teddy Roosevelt & the Fire That Saved America
by
Timothy Egan
lindsey b
, January 12, 2010
As good as any fiction or nonfiction I have read in recent memory. There are so many interesting themes in this book that continue today. I think the thing that made this book most interesting were the personal details included. I have camped and traveled and vacationed in and around the areas featured in the book - I remember some of the names and wondering why the cities were named the way they were - now I wanna go back and see them and reread the book. SUCH a good book. If you read and liked The Worst Hard Time, I think you won't be disappointed here. I think The Big Burn is even better.

Professor & the Madman A Tale of Murder Insanity & the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary
by
Simon Winchester
lindsey b
, January 08, 2010
A very interesting story and very well written and researched. For the more casual reader more interested in the title's story, you could probably skip forward to about page 100 to read about the relationship between the professor and the madman as the OED was being created. This is the kind of story (not a story really, it is factual) you wish more authors would find and write about. It made me feel more compassion for the mentally ill and appreciate such a seemingly common thing as a dictionary.

Tree Grows in Brooklyn
by
Betty Smith
lindsey b
, January 03, 2010
This book is excellent! I bought it a long time ago and it sat on my shelves unread. It was written quite awhile ago but it is still pertinent today. You will find yourself on its pages. Great characters and a great story about a family living in Brooklyn tenements during wartime. I wish I would have read it sooner. I rank it as one of my favorite all time books.

Unlike any other book I have read (I read fiction and nonfiction). Definitely my choice for best book of the decade.
