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.

California Fire & Life

Here is what I liked about the book: it depicts a California I recognize. Not the multimillionaire Vale and his wack-ass furniture collection or the AA for Ladies Who (Formerly Drank) Lunch, but in the rag-tag, multi-ethnic collection of scammers, grifters, law enforcement agents and security guards, pharmacy tellers, secretaries and truck drivers and everyone who spends each and every drought-filled summer wondering if or when those hills are gonna burn. It's a textured scene that makes the state work for me.

The Lightning Thief: Percy Jackson and the Olympians 1

You know what's going to get the next generation of kids reading classical mythology? Snark, that's what. Exactly how bad *do* you have to be to get woven into Hades' underwear? This is a great new take on the classics, and since I've already given my copy to my best friend to read (and to read to her kids), I'm going to need another copy.

Glass Books Of The Dream Eaters

Clever, enthralling Prussian steampunk, woven together with amazing descriptions and death-defying plot leaps a la the infamous Penny Dreadfuls. I loved this book, and kept sneaking away from everything to go read more. Be warned: once you start the 700+ pages, you'll have a hard time stopping, so make sure you've got some free time.
