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...

Don't miss this delightful double English mystery delight. It is really quite simple; first rate entertainment for vacation, plane trip, rainy weekend. Buy it today or give it as a gift to someone special.

Crooked Heart

This book is a multi-course literary delight. It is funny, serious, intelligent. I like all the characters, even the wicked ones. Set in World War II England, the book includes a full cast, led by a suffragette, a con artist, and an orphan evacuee. Don't mis this entertainment! It is funny, not silly

Do not over look this small volume. Nothing about this story is as it initially appears at first read, but everything is a delicious mind experience.

State of Wonder

Everything about this book is delicious: the writing and the plot. I wanted to finish the book because the story is so great, but I slowed to enjoy each sentence as a separate work of art. So many prizes under one cover!

Scandinavian Classic Baking
by

, October 26, 2011
This is a comprehensive Scandinavian baking book that is colorful and offers easy to follow recipes. There are lovely photos of various Scandinavian locations as well as of the finished creations. We ate our way across Scandinavia last summer, and this book allowed me to re-create the experiences in our own home. Perfect anytime.

Laughing Policeman

This is one of a series of Swedish crime mysteries that are all enjoyable from a historical context(preceding the currently popular ones), and in conjunction with the more modern Swedish crime novels, eg by Henning Mankell and the Millenium serices.

Moleskine Daily Planner 2010 12 Month Large Hard Black

The Moleskine Daily Planner is superb for assistance in "using one's time wisely". All Moleskine planners and notebooks are the finest quality as well as economical, and make great gifts as well. My English son-in-law introduced me to them, and the acquaintance is now lifelong.
